Hello All.

I received a phone call today from Neil. Obviously he wanted to comment on the horrid accident that happened on the weekend.

He has read the threads in regards the wrx /skyline crash, and wanted to have a friendly chat on the impact it's had on the car scene.

Understandably, there has been talk about police now targeting wrx and skylines, and from one thread in particular, thoughts that they will now pull over every single skyline / wrx they see. Neil would like to make clear that this is not the case.

Neil and his team do not want this to turn into an "excuse" to target high performance vehicles who ARE NOT breaking the law. however, Hooning / speeding will be dealt with accordingly.

A word of advice from Neil, if for any reason, any news reporting programmes such as today tonight or acurrent affair approach any club members and want to talk about what happened and what kind of club we are, he advises not to. As they will only twist our words to make us look irresponsible and like hoons.

Also, if there will be any planned cruises to raise money or to support the families effected by this accident, then Neil would like to be notified so he can help us organise a smooth cruise route to help keep the cruise together. if notified Neil will provide any assistance he is able to.

thanks Guys

Nene

Spot on Nene, SAPOL will indeed leave you alone if you are not breaking the law, which includes HOONING/SPEEDING and DRIVING AN ILLEGALLY MODIFIED VEHICLE.....maybe he just forgot that bit, but its pertinent when it applies to probably 80% of the members here :)

umm do we know you martin? i havnt meet you on a cruise before i dont think

Correct, and you won't meet me on a cruise....and although we have some nice Skylines/GTRs thats exactly my point.

However I have been a member here since 2002 and been an active drag racer most of the time. Go figure :)

What sized stilettos do you wear?

Just like to thank Neil for putting my mind to rest a bit. I've been stressing thanks to the situation over the weekend that I would just get pulled over at any chance the police get. Many of you don't drive your skylines/stag's everyday but I do and the thought of having to go through the trouble of being pulled over, defected, regency then repeat continually is to much of a costly exercise for me.

But a warning to most. Even if you're car isn't 'heavily modified' speeding and being an idiot on the road isn't going to help any of us and just because you don't see any marked police cars around doesn't mean there isn't one in the car next to you.

Don't be stupid, don't f**k it for everyone else.

Thankyou Neil again for clearing it all up.

+1 for Neil's message. Tho tbh I'm not worried as my car is virtually undefectable (yes I know there are ignorant people out there would would happily slap a canary on me but I've never had any trouble in the past... that and I'm much more rotund than most of you, police know me and my car are built for comfort and not speed :)

-D

Edit : Not having a go at you nene, but I love it how someone dies and it becomes a tragedy *sigh*... just like the newspaper "STOP THE CARNAGE" - have these people ever been to Iraq ?

Josef Stalin - "One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic"

Nene

good stuff neil.

He is right, the news cant report anything right around here..lol sports maybe not real news.

plus it would be in bad light not to include a police officer rep to support our cause , we dont condone stupid activities

and the peer pressure here tries to reduce it by doing the right thing, not a rebel late night racing, 2f 2f style

road closed pizza boy

dont drive like a moron , enuf said

sad thing is theyre more preoccupied with britney and other b grade celebrities than reporting real world events that have any relevance

makes me feel sorry for the sapol media liasons getting their words twisted or blown out of proportion... politicians feed on that stuff like vultures to a land mine victim

-D

I too want to thank Nene and Neil for the communication and understanding they have kept up. Thanks guys. It's really going to make a difference for everyone if this keeps up.

+1 for Nene and Neil. We need the lines of communication open at times like this. :)

-10 to Martin. :) "Active" member since 2002 with 350 odd posts? I've only ever seen your posts going off-topic, like even now. Never seen you on a cruise. Never seen you at any fund raiser. Never seen you at any SAU event at all. Thats not active, thats being asleep. Which is your attitude right now towards trying to establish a relationship with SAPOL. Wake up! ... contribute positively, or go away and don't come back. :)

No, he doesn't need too. He's been in the 'game' for ages. He knows SAPOL like the back of his hand.

    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy     
    • I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn鈥檛 respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 
    • I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
    • Do you still need the wiper motor and stuff?
    • I haven't used the Crank Motorsport ones, but can I ask why not use standard gtr/gts4 axles at the front? They would easily cope with that power level. BTW.....sounds like quite the project!
