People also need to realise that just because you own a nice car does not make you a hoon i have seen plenty of people go flying past me in there family cars vans utes, little toyota hatches, steryo typical bullshit is all that it is but its a shame that it will never be changed, if you look at the crash statistics i be that less then 5% of all crashes involve imports and the majority are just bogan idiots in there POS cars speeding. The imports can handle a high speed thats what they are designed for (not saying this is what you should use them for) and they you get your regular joe in his Toyota echo doing 150k down the F3 with wheelbarorw tyres on the car what you think is gona happen. The general public needs to wake up to the fact that you dont need a import to be a hoon.

Does all "chapters" (qld,sa,wa, etc) have this Code of Conduct as well? Or is it just specific to the NSW club? If it is only specific to NSW would it be a good idea to have it implemented across the board?

Not sure about other "chapters" have it Jason, but we implemented it 1 month after 2010 AGM and about 3 months before the CAMS Secretary (Doreen) recommended it for all clubs.

At the base of the NSW Membership Form it reads...

* I undertake that holding Membership of SAU.NSW means that I must not bring "Skylines Australia" into disrepute.

* I pledge that whilst displaying SAU signage, I shall drive courteously on the state's roads as a true enthusiast should.

* I understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU.NSW and thus, treat other SAU members and sponsors accordingly.

^ ^ ^ Nothing too harsh - not meant to be legal-speak - but having this means we're a respectable outfit 'er club.

LOL the media coverage of this makes me laugh.

I am certainly not condoning this nor encouraging it but I wish to shed my opinion on this.

I used to travel this rd every day for work for two years. I had a 79 rolla daily (and the fully built 33 for fun). If you didnt have your foot firmly planted on the brakes the car would hit 110 quickly. Most commuters using that rd sit on about 110 and nothing for every third car to be doing 120 including nannas and cops. Its a steep hill and a wide main highway. So it would take about 2% throttle in a skyline to hit the speeds stated in the media coverage. If they were racing then you could another 100km/hr onto those speeds.

I think the blow out form this is well over stated just because of the car that they are. Cops could pull 100 people over in a 2 hr window every day for speeding no worries at all.

On a side note; I do love the do-gooders on forums that say things like, omg these ppl should be banned from breathing etc etc. We all know jump onto boost in say second or third gear in a skyline on a flat piece of road and you can add 50km/hr to your current speed in a matter of seconds let alone down a hill. And realistically who hasnt broken the speed limit in there skyline by giving it a bit. These guys were silly and put it on youtube and got caught.

Its just sad that sau had to be bought into the saga.

As i said not condoning just being a realist.

^^ this man for PM

x2! Everything he has said i agree with, especially being guilty of it (everyone) at some stage. I also think they now have much more to worry about than the opinion of stuck up forum goers and a ban with the impounding and fines/loss of license they are facing. Of course though, it does put sau in a shitty position with the possibility of the media negativity somehow moving across to the site, especially if more than a couple of the guys are members.

'racing' lol... why do they always say they were racing!?

if you went to a track and did 143km/h you'd be kicked off for driving like a old person

and major LOL at the vans seen in that last shot of the impounded vehicles... that's a fair effort!

I love police-speak, they must go to some sentence structure language school in case they have to appear on TV. They throw in that many waffle words they have to think of what they're about to say, makes it disjointed and formal beyond their education level.......allegedly!

lol... I count no less than 8 Commodores in the inpound yard.

Where are the stories of the Commo "hoons"?

Pretty boring story to see a RWD aussie car straddling a speed bump spinning up the rears in a quiet residential street I guess

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
