he was ripping it on a crowded street if he slipped on the brakes he could either smak a drunk fool crossing without realizing what was happening or maybe even lost the rear end and gone into the people sitting at the cafe's. not likely but possible, especially if the driver dosnt know what there doing.

heres a nice example of a quality burnout.

i agree its way overhyped, the guy seemed to be in pretty good control of his car, however it wasnt really the safest spot to do it. if it was in a empty car park with no passengers i wouldnt have a problem with it. however the law wouldnt see any difference.

Hmm yeah but a drunk person could cross infront of anything, I'm not quite sure how drunk I would have to be to not notice someone ripping a big burnout next to me though. I wouldnt know because I have never even attempted to do a burnout, but if you felt yourself losing it surely you would be able to stop before you went flying into a cafe. Youd have to be pretty stupid to keep your foot on the accelerator the whole time.

As for the ferrari incident, a I understand what happened was:

-Hektik dude gets married, rents $150,000 ferrari

-Not used to the ferrari's power, handling or controls as he has never driven anything other than his hyundai excel.

-Fangs it and loses it on shifting to second which woulda been atleast 50kmph and keeps revving till he runs into a car.

I do agree it an insane spot to rip a burnout though, you cant really expect to do this and not be crucified by the media and have an example made of you by the law

even if what that cock did in Rundle Street wasn't dangerous, the last thing I'd need if dining out on the footpath with my missus is a lung full of smoke and a face full of rubber......go somewhere else dude!!

Surprised nobody picked up an outdoor chair or table and chucked at the Tard's car.

Partly laws against stuff like burnouts is to stop tools who don't know what they're doing from hurting themselves and others. Go to failblog.org and check out "Burnout Fail" to see what I mean. If you can't be bothered, basically an idiot in a beemer does a burnout with the door open ... and gets thrown out and nearly runs himself over.

Burnouts aren't dangerous if you know what you're doing ... but there's no way for the police to know who knows what they're doing, so they have to make it illegal for everyone. The other thing is that stuff like burnouts is best done in an environment where those present appreciate such things. If I'm going to a drag race or something I expect clouds of smoke and bellowing engines. If I'm having dinner down the street ... not so much. As the previous poster put it, burnouts and dinner don't go well together.

It's stuff like this that gives us a bad rep, and it's a lot to do with why police harass import drivers. If it wasn't for idiots like this we could enjoy our cars (and our meals) in peace. Come on guys, keep it safe on the street, and save fanging around for the track. It's what they're there for.

type "driving fail" into failblog.org and review the 7 pages of results. maybe we should outlaw driving too?

the amount of drivers out on the roads that dont have a clue what they are doing is ridiculous......it amazes me as to how did they get their license......out of a cereal box perhaps......

Getting a driver's licence in Australia is so pathetically easy ... there's nothing in the driver's test that examines your ability to control a car. You might get the brake pedal and the accelerator confused on a regular basis, but so long as you indicate in the right places you're fine.

What we should do is get rid of the minimum hours requirement for learners (about 120 in Victoria I think) and replace it with a couple of sessions of driver training. A few hours on a skid pan, learning how to control a slide, how to stop quickly without losing it, stuff like that. It would teach learners a lot more than dozens of hours driving in traffic. At the very least, the government should introduce subsidies for people who want to learn to control their cars better. It would save a lot of lives.

there is a bit of both out there....inattentive driving plus people who think they are the next schumacher in their vn commies......it should be mandatory for the Learners to go through defensive driver training as well as do the 50 odd hours of supervised driver training.......i know my lil bro is going through his learners atm and i make sure that i make the point very clear to him in regards of inattentive driving or thinking that he is the best driver on the planet.....dont take risks and i will be making sure that he goes for those defensive driver courses.....

the shit thing is, many of the drivers out there dont bother doing something as easy as using indicators (my pet hate) or they put the indicators on, while theyre changing lanes, not before..

ive noticed a lot of douchebags in suv's and hatchbacks overtaking me on main roads when im going 60-61kph, many of them overtaking on the inside lane (bad move). its these people that we need to get sent to the automotive gulag for 're-education'

That's pretty much what I'm on about. They put their indicator on and change lanes without looking because they've used their indicator means they're allowed to change lanes as aggressively as they want without looking. Women who delve into their handbags either on the passenger floor or the seat and yank the steering wheel left as they reach over.... the list goes on!

Not even 20 minutes ago I got beeped at on Tapleys hill Rd by a woman who I was behind at a set of traffic lights. Lights went green and she slowly sped up to 40-45Kmh so I changed lanes and went to move in front of her and she sped up and beeped at me. Then disappears in my mirrors as she slowed down again to 40Kmh....WTF. I think I saw her get pen and paper and write down my plate

Doesn't bother me if they did. I'll get them to go ask her why she did 45 in a 60 zone in the right lane and then why did she speed up to block me from over taking her!

I get that all the time. People driving slow in either left or right hand lanes. I change lanes to pass them, then suddenly they don't want me passing them so they speed up. Then when I do get in front, they carry on like idiots and tailgate me. :banana:

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
