hey everyone,

i'm kind of new here and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out.

a lot of people have been having their cars impounded around the Bankstown area recently due to a helluva a lot of speeding.

as a kind of introduction, i was wondering if anyone could tell me:

-what type of car they drive

-their feelings on 'hoons'. are they making decent car lovers and drivers look bad?

-feelings on the recent street racing laws?

-are hoons just a stereotype made up by authorities?

-is anyone a reformed hoon? :rofl: if thats possible

i would love to hear people's experiences for an assignment i am doing, and im not quite sure where to turn. I'd really like to hear the opinions of actual car lovers themselves, not experts but people with a genuine passion for motor sports.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)

and my dodgy little nissan cannot live up to half the awesome cars i have seen here :O

SAU:NSW doesn't talk to the press... anymore...

That being the case, if you REALLY are doing an assignment and want an A+, we have a drift day on Monday at Oran Park. I suggest you come and talk to the amatuer drifters who are taking to the track where it belongs :rofl:

Im Steve, and im a reformed hoon *golf clap in background*

Seriously though if you want to know more come to a club event.

SAUNSW doesnt speak to press without exec approval. What id suggest, is that you send me a PM and ill get back to you.

come to hills cruise in the NSW events section, we all friendly up here, very responsible, ages from 18-50ish i guess, and if your genuwine we'll be glad to help you out,,,,,, if your media well mabey you could watch us behave responsibly before we set out on our cruise, although we probably will just ignore you if you ACA or today tonight.

Also when you drive around in a car like a skyline you see alot of things, like realising that a "hoon" can be any age, male or female, gay or straight, anglo, wog, asian, black, sick, healty, skinny, fat, P-plater, 60 years old, rich, poor, excel, ferrari, can be highly modified or stock standard..... get what i'm saying???

And actually i see alot more 4wd's and SUV's trying to race and drag and driving like cocks than the typical stereotype of a p plater in a honda integra or someone in a supra or a skyline...

anyway is you assignment for uni or school????? not to mention that its beginning of school hollidays (why would a school student do an assignment when only 1 week into holls), uni only has 7 weeks to go lol silly silly ACA

Anyway come to an official SAU meet, you'll be surprised, I was at my first time

ps: can Ray Martin come out for this one, I miss his hair

I smell bacon :P

Imports get targeted by thieves and the police and now media scrutiny will only compound the problems already faced by import drivers.

If you really want to know what fellow import drivers go through, I'd suggest look here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sa...s-only-f56.html

Buy an import and see how it really feels. Don't take our word for it. See for yourself.

P.S. Your investigative journalism sux balls... Grow some and actually try the import scene and then report. Don't try and cloud and twist it further.

This looks real suspect.

If your trying to do an assignment for the Traffic Offenders Program, please by all means join the Club at one of their days out. But when you post like this on the forum, it does give us a suspicious note to your enquiry.

You want to here it first hand? Go down to the club meets.

Im from Bankstown myself. And i would be more then welcome to give you information, but if its through the forum then no. Cant trust media these days, they take anything and turn it around on you. And imports already have a certain amount of heat on them, and thats why everyone (on SAU) is behaving themselves, unlike other clubs.

If you are a journalist, speak to the Club Executives.

And if your genuine, good luck bruh.

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
