Got a reply from Graham at channel 7.............. signed it sharon and the idiot still replied to Nic lol

Dear Nic,

Our story the death of the young man on Magill Road did NOT use the term "hoon" once. If you own a Japanese car blame those who misuse them.

So i replied with this............Dear Graham my name is actually Sharon as i signed it Sharon to. we blame the media like yourself who only gives half a story and not the full story. Our Best friend was killed in an accident he was driving a Nissan Skyline GTR r32, ran of the road and hit a tree. The media had a field day with it saying speed was a factor. well guess what????? speed did not kill him, the kids who ran out in front of him in middle of the night is what killed him. he chose to swerve and miss them to save their lives but ended up taking his own life. You people really need to get facts right before broadcasting half the story.

Sharon

and he replied yet again...........It's now all clear. Your best friend racing at 150 kph down a suburban road wasn't the problem - we should have done a story on the ferrals who distracted him. He is actually a hero. Sorry you lost your friend ..... but it could have been worse, you could have been his passenger.

No wonder you blame the media .... it's always someone else's fault.

Once again my reply...............no one said he was doing 150 which he wasn't by the way, he was doing the speed limit so where you came up with that garbage about racing at 150 is total crap. yes the feral kids are to blame. it was on a blind corner and by the time he saw the kids he had no choice but to swerve. where do you get off accusing speed in this situation?? i will be forwarding this onto the other forum members who also think your a total dick. and this reply just confirmed it. how about we do a story about how you blame speed before hearing the full story??? yet again another half the story reply from the media.

All this does is prove to me that the idiots at Channel 7 pushing this shit actually believe it! For a while there I thought they were just evil, taking advantage of the most simple people out there, running the pathetic stories they do. But now I realise, they are just as stupid as their average viewer! Amazing. :D

I'm a little surprised too, I thought it was a marketing trick to cater to the largest number of ratings...clearly this is not the case, it would appear to be a someone who completely believes in some of these ridiculous stories that are published.

alot of ppl believe what they're told without any prior knowledge - if its on TT, it must b tru... :banana:

as for that email back 2 sharon... its obvious - hes just an arrogant know-it-all prick

has no1 signed his email address up for heaps of porn/spam emails yet? :banana:

This has absolutely amazed me. I can't believe the reply emails that have been sent from those twits. What chance do we have of any sort of fairness when the tosser who runs the show actually believes the crap they show?

Maybe we need to find a way of broadcasting some of the ridiculous replies these idiots have sent....

And like so many people have said, I'm so sick and tired of being labeled a hoon just because of the car I drive.

^^^ You already know the answer to that my friend...

'Delusions of grandeur' - I repeat, 'delusions of grandeur'

Me? I'm not the least interested in driving a Grandeur! sick punny man i am

Whilst Mr Archer is evidently only interested in ratings to be on top of ACA, I'd be surprised if I get an answer to my E-Mail :banana:

Hey guys,

This is a subject that has infuriated me, SAU and clubs like it have only ever promoted safe driving, however this does not create a good story when narrow minded people are the "producer" of a so called "highly credible" show such as today tonight. This is a simple case of overgeneralising a culture which has two sides like any other. There is always going to be a group of people who make life difficult for others and the problem we have is that other car enthusiasts are giving us a bad name. The issue there is that so called "highly educated people" in a position of high social status fail to realise this and we are forced to pay for these idiots on our roads. I bought my first turbo skyline at 17, I was young and stupid but probably only did stupid things in my car half a dozen times but only in industrial areas in the middle of the night, however it was joining SAU where the guys made it quite clear to me that it would not be tolerated and these guys opened my mind up to safe driving, you don't need to be a hoon to enjoy driving a performance vehicle. So in my case it was one of these so called "street racer gangs" that prevented one more young kid killing himself or someone else it wasn't the poor advertisements on tv where the cops stand there threatening to take down hoons.

Guys we have some serious numbers in this club and I think it is time that we and clubs like ours need to do something, I'm unsure of what because I haven't really thought about it but there must be some way we can reinstate our club's integrity with the Australian community before this gets out of hand, with the media's crucifying of people like ourselves, things are gonna get out of hand to a point where whether guilty or not we are all going to some way have our cars impounded/crushed because it will be supported by the community.

Regards,

Steve

well if TT wont listen to anything but themselves, perhaps someone/we should go to an outlet that will be willing to hammer the shit out of TT... i rekn ACA would do it just out of pure spite... if we sent the ACA producer some of the emails that archer sent back to various members on here, im sure that ACA would jump at the chance to contradict TT and make the producer of there direct competition look like a total wank. perhaps invite an ACA reporter along to a charity cruise and show him/her what 99.999999999999% of the ppl who own "performance" imported cars actually are responsible drivers and respected/successful/intelligent members of the community.

for example, my 1st car for all intense and purposes was a proton persona. i used to fang and hammer the shit out of that thing and now that i look back on it - was a dick. i got the opportunity to drive a skyline and thought "shit, im gonna buy myself 1 of these" 2 months later i had 1. i saved money for my gtst and altho it is much more powerful then what my persona was, i think i drive it much more sensibly due to the fact that i saved money for it, it is much more powerful, and i have experienced (as im sure most of you's have) a little too much throttle around a corner can b scary, especially when your not expecting it...

having said that, WE HAVE ALL done stupid things in cars and if 1 person says they hav not then i call BULLSHIT...

I think that would be a great idea, maybe if a cruise is organised with the intention to promote safe driving, have the cops involved etc would make tt look stupid.

very disappointed in MR Graham Archer's replies. he should sign off as Wanker instead of Producer the gimp.

'Producer | Today Tonight' is synonymous with 'Wanker' and certainly 'Fatuous' (the irony is the half wit wouldn't even know what that meant LOL).

i'm curious as to if we did a cruise to help bushfire victims, would we still be portrayed as hoons by TT/ACA?

If it doesn't fit in with the prejudice they ignore it and continue pushing their agenda.

Has anyone thought about the formal complaint process?

The link below explains how to complain. ie. within 30 days of them airing drift in japan or track drift and saying they are hoons everyone and i mean all forum members lodge complaints to the station sending a very clear message to senior management.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
