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.

Video and the acts therein are 2yrs+ old.

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.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
