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 :P , if this is indeed true.

Carlo sold the RB26 S14 in 2008 after the audition tape was made. The guy who bought it was caught doing some rediculous speed in it shortly after. It was a pretty big story at the time too. Its now a track car.

Completely agree that unless the road was closed off this guy deserves anything and everything coming his way - if anything does.

Who cares how old the story is, why it was done.

Would you like to be in a car coming in the opposite direction with kids in the back seat?

FFS, if i want to audition to become Ferrari's next test driver is it ok to do a top speed run down the Hume to mail to them?

ACA are a bunch of wanks no doubt about it, but if the road was not closed off, ACA weren't the ones thinking they're the next DK from FnF Tokyo Drift.

From what I have read on a couple of different forums, it was closed off. Not legally, but the road was blocked so there would be no traffic.

I get the feeling that from his confidence in drifting across double lines and the simple matter of not seeing any other cars in the video, the road was blocked off...illegally, however, as no police or council in their right mind would assist with this surely when this tool could have just gone to a racetrack and done the same thing in a much safer environment. He says his name and shows his registation plates etc. but I'm certain that would all be done on the assumption the firm he sent the audition tape to wasn't going to release his details to anyone else (e.g. police). I'd say the guy was just a dumbass and so is ACA.

What is also stupid is the assumption that drifters who do their thing on the racetrack have never done it on public roads. You have to learn it somewhere and most of the time that's where it starts...tail slides and burnouts on the street. I think there'd be very few who could actually say they learnt how on a racetrack.

and instead of channel 7 sticking the knife into ACA they stand by their track record and attempt to sink the knife into Top Gear the TV show. Cue interview with random bogan "concerned parent", random facebook quotes with no sources mentioned and rent an expert. wankers the lot of them.

YAY for ACA justice! Let's chop up some vids stick it together to manipulate the truth then get an angry mob fired up and turn it into a witch hunt! Salem witch hunt 21st centry style! YAY!

Seriously I can't stand Australian UK or US media reports. There is more truth in North Korea than all these put together!

well tbqh you've got to get your news from more than one source and then synthesize the outcomes for yourself to get a realistic picture of what is happening in the world around you. the problem is that this is time consuming, and most people CBF.

LOL @ them using Facebook quotes as evidence of some sort of car enthusiast culture supporting the kid in the video and having people read them out in shitty voices. I'd be more trustworthy of a rattlesnake than any current affairs program.

yeah but it seems with teh amount of old people growing they seem more ready to accept crap like this. I'm glad I was brought up to not blindly follow what I heard or saw in the media.

Unfortunately there isn't any popularised forum where this stuff can be exposed; I would imagine that Media Watch's ratings would be minimal (though they get good reactions out of those that they blast!)

The voices they used in the facebook qoutes are halarious. And the old guy talking about hoons on his street, $100 says the street they showed with all the tyre marks wasn't even his street and they told the guy what to say for the camera. No way that guy could string together those sentences.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
