you see more falcon/commadore hoons because they are the most common car on the road. i see just a many skyline owners that just have to show me that there skyline is better/more powerful than mine by trying to race or getting wheel spin. im guilty of spirited driving too and i would say that most people with a skyline have done it at some stage.

I agree that going to the track would make is easier to behave on the road by getting your fix so to speak, but i have yet to see a track that is free of charge like the road. thats how you get hoons of the road in my opinion, like a bmx/skate park kind of setup for cars. i know im dreaming

pretty much answered your own theory/question......it will never happen.....specially if the rann govt is still in power.....because they believe that a race track here in SA closer then lala would get more people hooning on the roads....look at all the other states....they all have a circuit and a drag strip......for f**k sake tasmania even has a drag strip

lol worked with the people who used to skate at shopping centers but unfortunately i cant see it working as easy with cars. there needs to be people running a track due to the safety issues. so it will always cost $.

as long as its not stupidly priced it should get people off the streets though.

you can go to mallala for $125. There is no excuse

i cant afford $125 for a track day. but that is just the cost to get into the track not fuel/helmut, break pads etc. im sure for a lot of people on here that is nothing but to me that is alot.

im not saying that because i cant afford a trackday it gives me an excuse to hoon. but car enthusiats come from all walks of life.

You better not ever get busted speeding then because even a small fine would be that much.

If you can't afford that much for a track day I'm wondering if you're driving the right car ... performance cars cost money, pure and simple. A lot of people would spend $125 a week in fuel alone, just in normal driving. If you can't afford to put $30-$40 a week aside to use the car the way it's meant to be used, maybe you need to sell up and buy something more within your budget. Otherwise what's the point? You don't need 220 kW to do 110 km/h, and in city traffic all it's going to do is waste fuel.

I appreciate that you love cars but you need to appreciate your life circumstances. I've held off buying my dream car until now because I couldn't afford it. I really don't understand the point of a powerful car unless you're going to drive fast, and the only place to do that is the track.

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
