I found the police officers opinion on car crushing the most interesting.

We really need a drag strip here in SA with a reasonable entry charge so those that do street race realise how crappy it is when you can't really give it all she has without fear of being busted or some one pulling out in front.

I have seen this report before, one of the better "hoon" stories ACA has done.

For ones they are looking at the other end of the spectrum.

Also who the f*ck was that b*tch on the radio talking about crushing the "hotted up do-b do-b mobile" She should get her car crushed for one.

good to hear the other side for a change.

but 10 f6's at 70k each and their only getting 1-2 cars a month? is it me or does othes think that money could be spent else where? somewhere where it's needed maybe?

cops need to make other people know that their there, not hide to try and blend in to catch people in the act. stop the act before it happens!

i could go on and on but its not like it really matters. nice find either way.

ive been defected out the front of mallala once along with 60 or so other cars that day. all i was going to do was watch some decent drifting.

i understand that if your car is illegaly modded then cop it sweet but noone knows what illegal or not anymore. people are being f**ked over for the sake of it and being sent to regency because of the car they drive.

im waiting for the day that we get pulled over towing the drift car on the back so they can defect it :down:

People do speed to and from Mallala so why defect stations, this only prevents people from attending such events and keeps it ON the street.

Spend the $$ on increasing the number of speed camera's or laser guns.

I too have seen the defect stations but then carried on to see a lack of speed laser/camera's with some overtaking at crazy speeds.

Modifying will never be stopped so why not try to stop the behaviour on the street and encourage 'hoons' to take it to the track.

yeah thats the key......needing a drag strip is no brainer, it goes without saying but just you wait and see, if and when we finally get one, 17 year olds will have to sell their mum's on the street to be able to afford entry just so the strip can be paid off pronto......some of these kids with turbo cars can barely afford the petty to drive out there let alone a ridiculous entry fee......they'll continue to abuse Adelaide streets and only the true cashed up petrol-heads will pay the entry fee.........I'm generalizing of course but keeping it real nonetheless.

Good find btw Joel.

i vote SLED contacts aca adelaide and organises an interview, pledge exactly what he just said above,

and make sure they learn the difference between an enthusiast and a hoon ffs.

pfft why?

SLED drives a burnside bus now!

ror

-D

that's a low blow Ben............it's kinda like my GTR.....twin snails, 4WD, 3" zorst, Bilstein suspension, 6 speed, slammed....to the carport ceiling. :)

Yeah but it still gets no respect from me mate :)

You want me to respect an off road vehicle? Buy a unimog you softcock!

:blink:

I ran this idea past some people months ago, but there was no interest in it.

An interesting find tho.

    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.   
    • Food for thought, the stock oil filter thread is a 3/4-16 UNF, which has an ID of about 10 to 12mm (according to ChatGPT lol). Now compare than to an 10AN, which has an ID of about 14mm (Raceworks is 14.2mm, Speed flow is 14.27mm).  
    • Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
