Tom,

ps new HSV's have the butterfly valve for exhausts, they arent "high end cars". a lot of people cannot afford high end cars.

As with ABS and powersteering, the technology eventually becomes available to more as it gets cheaper.

How isn't a HSV "high end"??? bogan royalty!!! New HSV's arn't exactly cheap either though...

Here is some revenge on the stupid government that is killing the car seen! Even though its not cars I just saw it and laughed. Thanks to the PM the economy is going down hill. So they need squeeze money from car enthusiasts to keep the government alive.

Bullshit. People have been getting defected simply because its an EASY WAY TO MAKE MONEY. It has NOTHING to do with the hoons, the hoons story is just the icing on the cake for them to put it on top to make a shit idea look good. The public probably doesn't give a shit if people are getting defected for exhausts, window tint, etc. But show them these people racing in a tunnel then have the government claim that that is why they are doing it and BINGO. Something the public will jump on side with.

You want me to honestly believe you have driven through any tunnel in a skyline and NEVER EVER given it some stick to hear the sounds in a tunnel. If you can HONESTLY answer that you haven't, have a pat on the back and sell your skyline.

How can you be a skyline driver and be so f**king boring?

I really doubt there is many, if any, here who have not genuinely given there car some stick to either A) hear it, B) feel it, C) show it.

poor Bernard!

well, serves him right for crusing in Surfers Paradise! haha

When paying rent and utilities is more of an option than an obligation you end up with cash to toss around. Mind you what's a 2 year old hsv worth these days - 40k give or take?

The bugger has got an exemption for no reason, its a load of crap. Deserves everything he gets, considering the fact that he was probably violating the terms of his exemption anyway.

Really harsh there, considering we don't know the whole story... I really love how the news crew was there when they originally pulled him over... so not set up at all.

How can you get an exemption for no reason? In the film clip I see a V8 Range Rover and the M3, both need an exemption for a P plater to drive, legit reason for him to have an exemption is he doesn't have a non Pplate exempt car to drive, hundreds of others have the same exemption.

And this statement is a bit of an Oxymoron " considering the fact that he was probably violating the terms of his exemption anyway.". Fact and probably in the same sentence.... :glare:

Tomic should have gone home after the first incident unless his exemption is valid and him getting caught the second time was within his exemption conditions. Although chances are the cops are right.

umm I'm sure he had an option to buy a car that was not turbo or 8cyl. pretty simple right? people taking the piss on laws (or thinking because they are famous or have money that they can ignore them) are exactly what makes it so much harder for normal people.

for every wanker like that, the rest of us have to work 10x harder at being good

There's a lot of bitching in here but has any one had any dramas over this operation?

I am not real happy about it but have to take my car up to Syd tomorrow to drop off.... Hoping if I run into them they'll take pity on the blonde with the ACT plates!!

Just bat your eyelids, and giggle a lot.

You'll be fine....

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
