Anyone happen to see what happened to that guy racing in his ferrari,someone seemed to think when they have money their ammune to the law,ha ha ha sucker.

I mean im not one to love the law and the b"llsh"t reasons they come up with to pull us over,but come on anyone driving a car worth that much doing that sh"t in the suburbs in asking for trouble.

What are peoples thoughts on the laws locking up the cars and do you reckon they need to adopt the laws like in other states,cause if they did his car would be block of steel already.

im sure if he can afford a ferrari worth 250k he can afford another one.. lol

Thats a very bad opinion to have. How do you know that he didn't work his absolute ass off for many years to get that ferrari? Would you like it if you spent years upon years working hard to get something and then someone takes it away and just says "I'm sure he can afford another one"

no one should have the right to take your car off you and destroy it, and there is zero evidence to suggest this method of punishment works anyway. its just a simple knee jerk reaction to a age old problem, there have always been hoons and people have always killed themselves in cars, nuthing has changed and these laws wont do anything but see some great bits of machinery crushed into balls of metal :rofl:

down grade to a GTR? doubt you have never driven a ferrari, I drove a friends twin turbo Tesstarossa for a month, good to look at, piece of shit car, touchy to drive, didnt like a thrashing like my RX7 or GTT, to low hits everything, unless your short you dont fit for shit. but it is cool to be in second gear from start till 100mph..

a GTR is a better car to drive daily by far and about as fast

my friend in the states is wealthy beyond imagination, 12 hi end tricked out cars costing over 400,000aud each and he worked hard to get them , suprising enough he dresses like a grot in torn jeans and wears kmart tenis shoes, but owns a small cruise line, and a few ks of manhatten on central park New york city. at age 34? and like's cab rides instead of limos from the airport from his private learjet to 1 of his houses in aspen or LA he wouldnt be to keen to have a car crushed by speeding around in it, (he has run the cannonball) ?

but hey you can drive a kia and still be a hoon ?, ask the kid on my street who put a chrome can muffler on his and painted the car flat black to mimick carbon fiber .lol

cops paid him a visit for burn outs and noise, damn annoying NA car, 4k downshifts at 4am to get into his driveway.

Hoons come in all types of cars, but crushing the car wont stop people they end up stealing yours to race then?, neither will pulling the license, they just drive without one? give them a race track local then it wont happen so much, one 100ks away isnt the answer we have all this land sitting around , like port stanvac ? im sure they could give up some for a track and desal plant too?

this state needs planners to give people outlets for hobbies like racing ? cops should stop being bad guys and promote car clubs who respect others ? insurance companies see car clubs make people responsible why dont cops ? in LA the cops race with kids at grudge nights ?

my rant..lol sorry

Lets not forget the stories we see on the news. We have the hoons to blame for the hoon laws.

The police are only reacting to the cry to do something about the situation ... especially from the families who have lost someone killed in an accident thanks to a hoon. A very close friend of mine was one such fatality, and another friend a passenger in the car is now disabled ... hit by a hoon racing down Daws Road. :P Therefore I support the hoon laws.

Wait until you lose a close friend/family member to a hoon, then sit in the court room and see the bastard get away with it, because the law at the time didn't deal with hoons.

well it's been 1 year now that Brett West of GWW lost his 17 yr old boy in a high-speed.

Was an innocent passenger in a car travelling at approx 150kph...........driver survived which is pretty common

Unless you know Brett well, probably not a good idea to bring up the subject cause they have forgiven the driver who was a family friend

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
