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...

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
