task force 'diagonal'...

... :)

why do they always use such lame names?

they don't want to make what they're doin obvious so they come up with a name for it, like the anti-bikie task force Avatar.

Read the Sunday Mail today, they've already picked up 3 cars and at this time their gathering evidence also known as trolling car forums for hot spots.

The photo with the boost controller in the ashtray looks like its a R32 :)

so hydraulics are part of the hoon thing? :)

the way they word it for the causual reader "it alters the hieght of the car" makes it sound like its for performance reasons. usually once its installed the car handles worse than it did before. i dont get why they illegal they not really dangerous unless you gota monster setup to get the car way off the ground or if you stupid enough to do it while driving.

so you cant modify your car to handle worse, thereby making you drive slower around corners and you cant modify your car with coilovers improving the handling.

bovs increase power :banana: lol

love the hoons strike back thing :banana: next week is hoons declare war

yeah, read the article. had a chuckle. in some parts they actually try to explain the mods in lay terms... but fail. and in others, yeah, they do what dan has pointed out. meh, whatever. wont find a BOV tucked up under my wheel arch, or nitrous hooked up to my carby while im bustin the hydros cause im sick.

lol. STAR force officers fast roping out of black hawks into the vili's parking lot? :)

all because of that american gangster-style hydraulic suspension... such a shame.

time for f n furious qoutes, apparently the cops like to refer to the movie for their accurate modding information more than i do for corny laughs :)

Johnny Tran: [Dom walks away] TORETTO! TORETTO! SWAT came into my house, disrespected my whole family because somebody narc'd me out! And you know what? IT WAS YOU!

[Dom punches Tran and a brawl ensues]

Dom: *I never narc'd on nobody! I never narc'd on nobody!*

when they getting specially modified cars to chase the hoons, put hydros on the cop car. thatll make the hoons think twice about making a runner

In the Sunday mail article Kate Kyriacou quotes Constable Neil Hastie as saying that "The blow-off valves - which are normally on top of the engine - are being concealed in the wheel arches. ...They know these things are illegal so they are putting plenty of effort into hiding them better"

This just isn't true. The standard position for most bov's is just after the intercooler - concealed in the side of the front bar.

While he does recognise that bov's are factory fitted and (when fitted correctly) legal, it sounds like there is going to be a continuation of the uninformed view of "Your blow-off valve looks like it's hidden down there so it must be illegal"....REDICULOUS!

I know that on RB motors the BOV is sitting on the crossover pipe in the engine bay.....but i have seen it on the likes of the 180's etc that the stock BOV is sitting behind the front bar.....so does that make them illegal even though they came stock????

BLOODY IDIOTS

this new breed of street hoons are using illegal suspension parts to enable them to take shortcuts in races simmilar to whats done with a feather in the famous video game "mariokart" ghost stage. there are currently no confirmed deaths resulting from the use of hydraulics but its not the majority voting public that use them so better safe than sorry we get rid of them

sorry thought id have a go at journalism dosnt seem that hard :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
