how to give modified car enthusiasts a bad name.....


Recommended Posts

by far the worst display of stupidity by them in this quote.

***en awsome cruise we had a mad time goin home on freeway was a mad time 190 in the emergency lane and doging truks tryin 2 run us off road lol

Seriously, these are the clowns that should not be on the road, sure have some fun sometimes. but the line is drawn between fun and stupidity and i dont even have to mention what side these guys are on :), but doing stuff like that is beyond the joke and thats the reason why the cops are so hard on us guys, cause we are sadly in their eyes in the same category.

Please dont ever let me catch any of you guys doing any shit like that, its a discgrace really to calling yourself a car enthusiast.

Sorry bout the rant but i think you know where im coming from.

I couldn't agree more :uh-huh:

must admitt there were some nice cars put what they did was

blo^$y rediculous and just makes life harder for the rest of us

the cops up here already have a dislike for the sydney modified groups and that shat just doesnt help

I seriously hate the whole 'car enthusiasts' tag and the way it is ALWAYS negativly used, by the media and the stupid idiots that cause this heat to be put down on people like us.

The name itself suggest a sense of respect for the machinery that we drive, plus with that respect comes a certain degree of following the road rules, (hey, we all cant be perfect).

But what really gets me is that these....(and I'm about to use a clique here) 'hoons' try to pass themselves off as enthusiasts.....

Really they are bored, stupid, immature little s***s who have no respect for the car that they drive, other people on the road and just general public order.

They all seem to have an inferiority complex about the 'true' car enthusiast....

IF that event in Terrigal was really about car enthusiasts then it would have turned into a mini car show, becuase most people there would have attended to enjoy a nice trip up to a senic place and talk to a few people about a common interest and possibly make a few new friends in the process.....

Well sorry to ramble on, but I felt like I needed to get that off my chest.....

Thank you all for listening....

'I'm Kent Brockman, and that was MY TWO CENTS"

funnily enough after the cruise of friday night up to the same place, the only time we had trouble with the cops was at maccas!!!!! it's my guess that if we never went to maccas that we would not have had any issues!!

pretty funny overall!!!!

guess we wont be going up there anytime soon without any issues, hope this isnt the case!!!

Are these guys serious or just FCKED in the head!

I just read a few pages and they are the biggest bunch of tossers I have ever read posts from. talking about killin cops an stuff. doin 190km/h on the f3? dickheads. I thought it was just the Magazine that was shithouse but now I see the forum isn't any better. too many knobs.

We all have problems with the police, but if you be reasonable and keep calm, just chat with them most of them will be alright. they should try organising with them like last time I went on a cruise to bathurst in a big group, the organiser rang the local cops there and told them we were coming and where to. The supercruises never seem to have any problems I hear. there were heaps of cars there last year.

I think these guys need to step back, and take a look at what it means to be a car enthusiest. maybe re-evaluate how they act on cruises.

They're not enthusiasts, just hoons who just wanna drive fast and don't care about anything.

The comment about dodging rocks and trucks in the emergency lane @ 200k/hr left me lost for words

I was out there (resident of the Coast an all) for some lunch and saw the biggest convoy of circus clowns roll through...

It was a case of:

Rice, rice, rice, oooh that's kinda cool, rice, rice, damn that's low, rice, rice, geez that's loud, rice, etc etc...

(It's interesting they describe the place as a "quiet resort" pffft. Hardly. More like a run-down Coogee.

I tried go through the Haven to check some of the rides out but there were so many arse-monkeys parking all over the road, wandering all over the road, not to mention all those who stopped to talk to their mates thereby blocking the road.

I think the worst aspect of this is the total lack of respect they've shown for the destination, the authorities and the (generally) good name of car enthusiasts and tuners.

Be they hot rodders (unfairly named in newspaper), street machiners (when you say hot rod, mostnon-car people think of V8s) and import/high-tech drivers we've all been impuned by this behaviour.

I hope the police show a similar lack of respect the next time someone like them organises a cruise.

Sorry, rant over...

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
