Lol, seems like "a current affair" is getting as bad as "today tonight" these days with their bullshit blown out of proportion stories that go for easy targets in the community.... i have just one thing to say..... There are always 2 sides to the story, and the one they show you will often be the wrong one!

Thanks for posting that link.

wow that makes me burn.... just giving drifter's even more worse of a name.... its bad engough ffs, we got no tracks, and none of the racers want us on the tracks that are already built..... so what we ment to do..... specaily with this kinda shit geting chuckd around, the tracks are goin to knock us back even more......

Yeah ACA do suck, Even if it was an audition for the role of stig was the driving in a controlled environment or just on a open public road?

Looked like a public road with a handycam and a 200sx.

I am not having a go at 'Carlo' or anything as I think it is a safe bet to say the majority of the memebers of this forum (including myself) have done something not so wise on the roads in the past.

So nowhere does it state what was done, was not illegal?

Wasn't it done on a public road? Definitely looks like one to me. If that is so then it's still illegal whether it was for a top gear stig audition or not unless of course top gear Australia got written consent from the road authorities and they officially closed off the roads for it to be done. From the video i highly doubt that has happened. Thought and planning was obviously put in as they likely had spotters to watch for cars doesn't make it legal but.

rofl they have his plates. he's f**ked. while ACA are wankers for ripping a vid off youtube and calling it exclusive. they do have a good point, he's a f**kwit for doing that on public roads. he's just worsening our reputation... not like our rep is not f**ked anyway.

1. The video appears on youtube in Sept. Hardly "only two parties had it". If it leaked, tough shit, that's the risk you take doing stupid things.

2. The video is indeed exclusive, ACA reported on it first.

3. There is no proof the road was actually blocked off, which sounds like the same type of "creativite" reporting ACA does.

Crikey are kidding themselves if they are going to get anywhere with that unfortunately.

No he is not, if you believe Boostcruising.

APPARENTLY, that vehicle was sold as a full race car last year, after he made that 'audition tape'. It is no longer registered to that owner.

So helping to track him down will be hard for ACA :) , if this is indeed true.

well this story is nothing on the new ACA stuff.. same night a guy in the background of a "report" was looking at porn on the comp.. ACA has just rectified its actions.. beautiful

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
