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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
