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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
