lol, end of the day he's just some guy who has authority to talk on the news, if he keeps gettin emails dissing him he'll just get even more pissed off.

not that i dont condone sticking it to ignorant assholes, but there are other ways to deal with them.

*note to self: find out where he lives and go do burnouts on his lawn, that will show him in not a hoon.

A quote from Fight Club comes to mind though completely the wrong direction for the topic and path taken:

"Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... f**k with us."

Maybe someone should invite a TT or ACA reporter on a cruise to see what the good car enthusiasts are like and see what they do for charitey etc help give them and insight to our "World"...

Might be a good idea ?

Today Tonight were at the final meetpoint of the WA victorian bushfire cruise, think they interviewed a few people? Still hasn't been on air yet (well over 2 months ago), probably because they know theres nothing wrong with what we do and they wont get any ratings if they stop pointing the hoon label finger.

Any updates in regards to peoples emails?

No Cameron,

I haven't received any reply from Mr Archer and so I feel very HURT!

Cruizer got a reply and I DIDN'T!

I therefore do not think I did very well in my "HOW TO COPE WITH REJECTION"course! :D

haven't read every single post but amazed by the naivete about what modern media is and the lack of objectivity on both sides of issue

modern media is like fast food outlets, the public want a quick serve and if its got some footage or piccies that excite shock or revile (within ceratin standards) that is what the masses crave - there is no time nor probably any inclination in todays' news media for detailed factual analysis - this is the domain of Insight, 4 Corners and the like, not the nightly news

you will never change that - but if you want to beat your heads against the wall thats your call

and who the f**k does not think any car crash in a suburban street at 150 kph for example that leaves several dead and others requiring maybe 1-2 years or more and probably multiple millions of dollars in hospital and rehab costs (at you the taxpayers expense - and which could have funded a track instead ? ) is not going to get lots of coverage not all strictly factual or even well researched, and probably done by persons who travel mostly by taxi and airplane and more interested in cafe latte than ultra 98?

and don't you think that peeps with families and kids etc are't really concerned they or their own kids will get wiped out by some bozo doing 150 in a 60 zone - YOU BET THEY ARE - and that is a perfectly normal reaction - and they will in every case support sanctions

look at a almost parallel universe - the bikies create mayhem , bashings killings etc - mass media coverage - bikies convinced they are above law and society so still carry on bashings killings - now new laws - now bikies now got VERY BIG PROBLEM as state has free mandate from public to fix em up

time for a reality pill - don't whinge do something - time for SAU to draft and publish a anti-hoon policy and disseminate it in media and get pro-active and a public profile demonstrating responsibility is our motto - has SAU got the balls to stop being the /victim/ here and take on our adversaries?

Answers welcome.

No gratuitous personal slanders please - just reply with the facts as you see it.

^^^ Something is in the pipeline already in SA. Will post more details soon :D

____________________________________________________

seems like step in right direction

for those on the SAU exec who have a clue about how public policy is formulated at highest government level my best advice to you is that you should be seeking direct representation on relevant premiers dept stakeholders committees or working groups or if they do not exist demanding their establishment so becoming part of the solution instead of the bogey man

its also much harder for media outlets to pick on a person or organisation that has highest level government access and credibility, esp if you have media handling skills

but it does require quite a lot of work......... doesn't everything though - been there done that myself actually but not saying which state and on what side of the fence so don't ask

im sure today tonight will find a hoon story out of the bushfire cruise in WA since a commi slammed into the back of a R34 =\

if that happened would be complete bs as that commonwhore wasnt apart of the cruise, just some idiot woman who booted it around a cnr then locked her brakes..

im a fan of the email thing... fax looping is fun too.. or does inter-office sheningans make me an irresponsible, death dealing hoon?? maybe i should lay off the cars and big nights in the garage and hit the pubs and drugs instead.. maybe i should stop driving my pride and joy and get high on ice and beat someone up in front of their family for no reason.

Ok, this was an idea that came to mind so I can see the flamming coming but hey some honest opinions wouldnt go astray.

Why dont they just introduce a law along the lines of the current gun laws. For example, anyone owning a performance vehicle needs to be registered with an active enthusiast car club and be an active member, meaning they need to attend one event a year or so on. The vehicles number plate would be able to be refered to the car club the driver associates with. This would make the hoons easily identifiable to the members of that car club and would give police a referance to use to find the actual offenders.

Now there would be alot more to it than what I have stated above obviously but I guess the picture that needs to be painted doesnt need to be painted so much by the media as it does by the "hoons" fellow ethusiasts. Most of the dickheads out there acting and driving like morons need to realise that the vast majority of car ethusiasts think there a bunch of cock knockers.

I guess overall what im trying to say is something needs to be done to remove the cliche term of a "hoon" away from enthusiasts and towards the particular people that are infact hoons. By owners being associated with car clubs this may bring more attention towards the good things the car clubs are doing and seperate the hoons from the enthusiats or atleast making the hoons vulnerable to being pointed out. Majority of key offender are not car enthusiasts they are morons driving cars they beleive to be performance cars and or have purchased a performance car not out of respect for what the car is but to show off and dance around going look how f**king cool Iam. Eradicate those people from being allowed to drive or put them in a position where other enthusiasts can tell them there a wanker and have the ability to report them and I believe it will take effect in due course. THIS will give US the chance to take action and make a good name for ourselves.

If you label one driver and his stupidity in place of labelling a majority and giving the public false impressions, its going to go a long way to solving the issue, as appose to what TT are doing and just making every non offending enthusiast pissed off and suffer conciquences both verbally and legally that they did not deserve to begin with.

Good thread, all these emails are a good start to perhaps repairing our badly tarnished public image. I tend to agree with KV2R34GT as well. If we want to change something, the power is somewhat in our hands (although certainly not completely).

How so? I know I don't like being refered to as a "hoon" but then again a cop did say once to me "have a good night I thought you one of those young hoons"

I have had a couple of coppers, after having seen my age on my license and I guess general maturity level say similar things to me... I thought you were a hoon, how boring, have a good night... sort of thing. In fact, I think joeyjoejoe may have had exactly that said to him.

Pretty amusing at the time.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
