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!?!?!

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
