After watching this report they also seem to be mixing the story one is about drag racing and the other drift to me its just a report

to stir everyone up, but we should take the chance to try and voice the need for more race tracks in NSW at a cheaper price to get people

off the street in a controlled environment

^^^^ perfect if there were places for people to go i.e tracks they would be used, the amount of money they pour into these task forces could easily build a track and have a better impact then fining everyone and defecting cars!

anyway no chance that will every happen, however its annoying that the public is seening driffting as a hoon sport and not a motor sport now!

You also have the opposing view that building more race tracks will encourage this behaviour. I don't support this view though, we do need more. Considering theres 1 racetrack for a city of 4 million, otherwise you need to drive an hour and a half or so to wakefield.

Watching the video the guys an idiot. Go to eastern creek or something if you want to drift.

I do take offence at the fact that they portray drifting as an illegal activity, which it is on public roads, on race tracks though it is a legitimate and world wide sport.

IIRC on the radio or news or something, it cost NSW tax payers 10m for the Homebush V8 race.

This just a 1 weekend a year race.

Just imagine if they invested that much to say...the Lucas Heights motorsport precinct, or the Wyong shire one....

The NSW governement would actually get more investment out of the new tracks, every weekend Wakefield Park and Eastern creek are booked out, and its hard for smaller clubs to book a day at these tracks.

So instead of spending our 10million one a 1 weekend event, how about they build a proper facility where they will make more money in the long run?

I do not understand.

Oh, and more importantly, the NSW government can help reduce the loss of lives by having proper driver training there....or more revenue...I forget which one they want more....

Not that the NSW Government will listen to that logic. Perhaps if and when the libs get in they'll can that race and build another track.

bahaha libs spend money on minorities? i highly doubt that.

fact is, ACA's target audience is old berryl and bob who will take things as fact as they are ignorant to pretty much everything - they will not change the way they approach their stories because it gets the greatest response from their target audience - old, ignorant, idiots.

hi, im jimmy fuckface, an ACA reporter. all people who modify cars are bad mmkay.. here is johnny fakeexpert, an expert in car racing

*dresses bum in normal clothes and gives him important title* "yes thats correct. they are ALL bad"....

thanks johnny, see i told you so.. back to you.

you gotta love the fact how everyone that ACA interviewed where watching that touge video so closely and analyzing it... Trying to figure out where in Australia this video is from LOL...

it still amazes me how biased and manipulated facts and stats are by the media and yet so many people accept/believe it as fact... :D

and just as i write this - i hear screeching tyres for about 30 seconds near my area.. LOL

I have to agree 10m for a race weekend waste of money its time v8 super cars put some money back to grass roots motor sport

can you imagine if the nsw government and v8 super cars pooled there funding together along with profits from the racing series and revenue from

there safe driving campaigns they could build more tracks and employee people to work at them dangerous driving off the street, more people with work

win win

LOL especially at old berryl and bob.

The whole program is sensationalist designed to scare you and demonise minoritys whether it be car enthuasists or any other group small enough to be ragged on all the time without the majority standing up and saying WTF!?!?! I especially like the episodes where they find these people who got high interest loans from the local "we give you an advance or your pay cheque" folks and then they end up owing them 10's of thousands of dollars and its some how the lenders fault?

Its true that they need to build another race track... *cough* kurnell *cough* anyone? lol.

I never bother driving to the city @nights anymore since police usually get heart attacks when they see circle rear lights. (x2-4 worse if you have import mates with you).

So i usually just drive on sundays during the day...

Infact when i used to own a silvia a cop once chucked a handbrake to try to defect me. How lovely.

I've never lost any points but its okay... lets thank Bob and Berryl mentalities.

QUIKKKK GETT HIMMMMMM!! Sound = Speed! / Hoon!.

  • 3 weeks later...

I love the mentality that these articles create.

I own a V35 350GT8 SEDAN!

When going for job interviews, so what car do you own?

A skyline.

I have almost lost people then and there but they look and argue with me that it's an infiniti not a skyline.

just because it's badged like that.

But yes, people that race on the streets are idiots.

I will admit, whilst overtaking I will give it a bit of gas. But that's farrr safer than slowing down to overtake.

Like people on the motorway who are cruising at 100 next to you then indicate, then slow down to 80 when they're in front of you. WTH!?!?!

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
