Bully - I just saw it and agree completely. Problem is, if you say things like it's blown out of proportion they'll just say that you're advocating the racing scenes shown in the article.

Not sure what positive things could be done here - need to think some more...

Today tonight is a crap show anyhows. If even a small amount of Perth agree with the attitudes shown there - no wonder Perth has the name of a boring city..

Aidwin - thats right.. also did you notice that the soundtrack to the film shown pointing at the commode speedo and tacho had the gears chirping in every gear... like 5 times?!?!

Also - did they actually mention what suburb they were talking about?

it would be a better story if they got interviews from responsible car enthusiasts and also hoons- maybe it can even help solve the problem

but the way they presented the story tonite looks like they just want ratings, and the aftermath, innocent ppl get targetted as hoons

Aidwin - agreed.. But you're assuming people aside from us sad sacks actually watch that show.. :D

Seriously - media are emotive wankers. Why show an even balanced argument? Then you wouldn't be able to make people angry...

Bully - I had an interesting chat with an old guy who lives on my dad's street last week. He seemed to think loud car = fast speed and showed me so with his middle finger. I think he was quite surprised when I turned the car round, stopped and had a very quiet and civilised chat with him.

It worked...

yer we had a chat ---- a loud chat his just a wanker that retired 10 years to early and has nothing to do but bitch. As we were "chatting" this other guy turned up and had a go at him as well because he hits golf balls all over his lawn and he hit this blokes car

Ummm. wow! There is a channel 7 ? daym! never knew that.

This just goes to show that channel 7 licks balls, i never watch that channel anyway, cos the stuff they put to air is crap.

As for the street racing, it pisses me off some of the people in my street give me dirty looks just changing gears... BOV = always flattening my foot apparently....

*sigh* looks like there'll never be a happy medium.

Was the footage even from perth? I wasn't paying full attention to it when the story came on.

That old bat reckons there were up to 8000 people in the street where they were racing, and that she was a prisoner in her house because she had reported the street racing thugs to the cops and they'd returned seek vengeance! :)

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
