Yeah but with that story on rann, they ran another web based poll and 9/10's said he'd be out next election - disatisfaction with the Rann govt is widespread at the moment, so again, 'tell him he's dreamin'

-D

Didn't see that one. Well the pollies might back him for another 10 years but it's the voting public who have the final say so you're right, tell him he's dreamin' :)

so the police now use youtube and internet forums to do their job? dont they realise how much bs gets posted on the net?

like mentioned earlier, today tonight pull a feature on adelaide hills "drift racing" footage that turned out it was from the streets of japan, f**k there was even japanese lettering printed on the roads in that vid!

and with the idea of helping change police/media views on imports, that would be like me saying lets help politicians be honest, it isnt gonna happen.

its the fools out there doing stupid shit like burnouts/drift in the suburbs that ruin it for the sensible drivers that understand there is a time and a place for it, and its not on public roads. i agree we need a drag stip and somewhere that holds regular drift meets, like other states. but here in sa we get a revenue camera on every intersection instead!

Anyway I don't care about defects/blitzes/hoon laws, I have a 100% stock car that I drive like a pensioner

+1 for me too :)

u will prob find that when u get caught at a redlight speed camera u will now get defected also via the mail...

hahahahhaah

not long before you can get defected for not folding toilet paper in a certain measurement

or if you fart over a certain db

I remember reading an article about noise cameras that detect cars that are too loud take a picture of the said car and send a fine to the owner.

My arse got defected! :):)

Haha, apparently it works like a normal speed camera but has a series of microphones to pick up sound and is triggered by sounds over a certain decibel. I can't remember what they said about placement but I'm pretty sure they only have them in the eastern states.

to take a snap of an unrego'd car we'd need to have implemented an e-rego system. electronic licence plates basically, youd be detectable at every set of lights, ever revenue camera, etc.

I used to work opposite that Advertiser building. I was sure to give the building a angry glare now and again.

it wouldn't be too hard to build character recognition into a camera linked to transport SA so when a plate triggers a non reg flag the registered owned gets a nice letter with tickets to the ball

lol madaz many yrs ago i got pulled over and the copper said do you know why i pulled you over ? i said to give me tickets to the policemans ball ..... he replied your getting a ticket alright son but you wont be dancing lol

seemed funny at the time tho

It seems the imports are the flavour of the month! Guess they've given up on shutting down the bikies, so now we're next on the hit list :D

A few years ago it was Harley's that were too loud! Before that they picked on the V8 boys! Before that they picked on horses with noisy shoes :(

After talking with a mate who happens to be a cop, even he said its crap! He said they need to pick up the smoke blowing rust buckets with bald tyres, not us import drivers who in most cases modify our cars to improve them and modify them more safely than the commonwhore or falcoon drivers!

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
