Couple of young lebs talking smack, senior citizens complaining and saying nothing useful and TT picking the most retarted people to do interviews to make shit seem worse then it is.

Nothings changed in this media 'hoon' bullshit.

I didn't bother to watch the the show when it aired - more important things to do than watch trash TV - but I did see the ads for it. They showed an image of a blue R34 GT-R torn in half in a horrific accident. This accident occured almost 10 years ago and it was in NSW!

It was exactly what I expected from TT.

an my god those blokes were wankers

True.

They refused to believe at all that they were breaking the law and driving in a dangerous manner. And that wanker of a ring leader, reckons he's an expert driver after driving for 3 years?!! :P

yeah well if someone has to remind you how good a driver they are, it's because they're still trying to convince themselves, lol

total rubbish they put on tv these days.

which is why i havent watched tv per se for the last decade, f1 gp and footy matches notwithstanding

and i laugh when the tv execs scratch their heads, wondering why people get on the net and download the shows they want to watch - and its not the fact that people are downloadeding the shows and bypassing the advertising feed that is subjected to all tv shows, no... theyre more concerned about the downloaders not being counted on the 'viewed' demographic... seriously

i had a disagreement with kurt sutter a month ago about this - being that we're in australia and his show 'sons of anarchy' isnt broadcast here, delayed or otherwise - so i download torrents of the show (cause the man is very talented and has made an awesome show - he used to write for 'the shield' too) but my argument is, that the show is released in the states and they dont bother to get distribution in aus, whether it be free tv or cable (we have foxtel here so i KNOW its not broadcast)

thing is, ive downloaded loads of torrents for sci fi shows when they came out, and ended up paying for the dvds a year or so later..

so its a confusing situation - tv is shit. why? cos people dont want to spend money on producing the shows - mainly cause their 'ratings system' doesnt do an effective job...

and when they DO spend money, the broadcast nonsense really f**ks their budgets up

its argued that once the shows hit dvd, then they make their production costs back via royalties, but sometimes I wonder about this logic

what it boils down to tho, is we have shows like home and away and neighbours.... 25+ years each of them... vapid, vacuous, nonsensical pity pulp fiction at its worst, and then u get a show like "Space above and beyond" which was cancelled after a single season, and it was 80% aussie produced too...

download Space above and beyond and pick out the aussie actors like colin friels and bill hunter... theres a tonne of local talent in that short lived show

-D

This is why some of us have set up the following Matt - for what it's worth...

...and so, just because we're older, it doesn't mean that we get less annoyed when a copper wants to inspect the car simply on the basis that we've got stove oven lights on the back panel :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
