Nice to see them getting out there in the media but i think its quite unnecessary to have cops hanging around on every cruise takes away any fun and by fun i don't mean burnouts and drag races, i mean just knowing that your not being watched every second of the way, it makes you concentrate about not making mistakes in fear of getting caught by cops instead of enjoying yourself. I definitely think that Tom Painter stated some good facts and police should ease up and target individuals instead of cars makes.

I tend to think a random cop passing by who saw a gaggle of skylines would be far more tempted to infiltrate the group and pull over a car than a "police escort". Said escort is just going to stay with the group because they know what the destination is. If anyone acts like a cock they will take notes and only put the party lights on if you're doing something dangerous. If you have been misbehaving expect to be in the shit at the next stop, though.

I see absolutely no problem with a police escort on an organised cruise. Are you demonstrating responsible driving or not? There's no need to tread on eggshells if you're doing the right thing - just drive normally. If normal for you is being a dickhead (not saying it is, just IF) - that's when you have cause for concern in which case you're probably not welcome on a cruise where good behaviour is requested anyway.

Don't tell me that these guys spend big bucks on souped up, fast cars, just to drive around below the speed limit. Public roads are for safe use of the public for getting from A to B. If you want to speed, pay to do it on a race track. Get these cars off the roads, and we'll save hundreds of lives.

Does she not realise how much power FPVs or HSVs have?? Or many, many, many, other cars she sees on the road every day straight from the factory?? But no, just get the Skylines, Rex's etc off the road and we'll save hundreds of lives apparently cos we're only ones capable of going fast :rofl:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
