Also.

We have a high road toll this year. Only compared to 2007 - 2008 which were real low road tolls. Think about it.

Some were saying this years road toll number was because petrol was coming down in price which meant more cars on the road plus less compassion for petrol wastage. I don't really believe this to be honest. But its interesting non the less.

What about mobile phones ? That little media frenzy aint the flavor atm ? 4 times more likely to cause a crash if you are talking on your mobile. How about I throw rocks at anyone using a mobile and glare at them as I think they are criminals.

Ive been on a few cruises lately, and they do seem to be ending with "burnouts at lonny" usually the time for me to go home, its my own small protest against it. I dont mind going thru the hills at a decent speed, but when its just a bunch of people standing around in one area, doing burnouts, thats when i crack the schnitzels.

Why are they targeting imports when its clear that all these commodores and falcons are doing the burnouts in these videos, i have not seen too many videos of "hooning" in an import..

people dont race commodores in the fast and the furious.

maybe the general public see an import and automatically think "fast and furious, speeding, drifting, powerful, etc..'

and if you pay attention on the roads, most cars are commies or fords, if they were to target them, theyd have to pull over every second driver,

and regency would go out of bussiness if they were targetting commies only.

thats just my opinion.

well said, but it only proves that hollywood thinks that bogans are wak :P

I for one never understood burnouts as a piece of appeal.

1/4 miles, sure. Race laps, sure. Drifting, not so much but at least there is some beauty in watching it.

But making a wheel spin until the rubber liquifies and combusts? Shit. even a ford laser can do that. small minded entertainment for small minded peasants.

I think that sums it all up about car clubs like RCK and the rest that follow them

Good find Krishy! Seems that kid is after the sympathy vote "I've got to live with this for the rest of my life", call me callus but shouldn't he have learnt something from the experience then?

Im with Ben also, burnouts have never been a big attraction to me even though i use to frequent the grags alot. It seems a simple disregard for human life is in some of these idiots heads. Brainless thoughtless idiots who just dont realise how quickly a simple burnout can go out of control and wipe out an innocent bystander.

Honestly how would some of these people feel if they had to live with the thought in the back of there mind, that their few minutes of smokey glory and general stupidness cost someone their life?

Maybe the media should get in touch with the survivors of the last few "HOON" accidents in Adelaide and ask them how they feel now about there actions and put a press realease of that on the news stations! But of course the whole mentallity is "It wont happen to me, i can control my car!" Gurantee thats what the victims of most "HOON" related accidents will answer.

i see my father reading the newspaper front and back each morning, it pisses me off that everything read in this newspaper is deemed 100% true. f**k the newspaper. there just trying to sell stories, but not only that,they get people fired up for something so small. these hoons represent 5% of the population, all of these $2 commadores should take the blame. we should not take this burden on our shoulders.

Dickhead crews like ACC and RCK don't do anyone favours, but they generally cater to wannabe criminals and gangsters, teenagers and glue sniffers. They don't use their brains much, and pull stupid stuff like what happened in Pt Wakefield without realizing that journos were there. If theyre stupid enough to have journos, then theyre stupid enough to have undercovers, and hopefully, said undercovers can crust them for stupidity.

-D

just to back up your quote about rck being dickheads, back in the day when i had a commonwhore i attended an rck cruise, and as we all left a carpark on pt wakefield rd each car pulled a burnout for the camera, half the idiots had to stop and change there tyres around the corner? then not even 20 metres up the road they had a 6 car pile up lol doing about 20kph?, then after they got moving again they drove straight into a police block and 90% of the morons tried to do runners? needless to say i sold the commodore and never attended another cruise again.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
