But ye overall that was a really heavily edited piece.

There was actually some very very decent discussion in the room in the middle/end part of the forum. Pity NONE of that has made it to air.

The part that was edited, that has pissed me off the most, was the discussion point about doing it legally on a racetrack. The younger fellows there said they didn't really know how/where to do it (as in circuit racing). How to get involved etc. They didn't realise they could essentially do it in their cars they own right now.

To see their faces when they were told that, their reaction I believe was 100% was genuine.

I even offered to give more information about how to "get to a trackday", but of course - sensationalist media at its best.

Overall the exercise was unfortunately pointless.

Ian Luff also made a RIPPER comment about driver training, that was also edited out.

^ What I thought.

Birds would go well with her.

No, no I wouldn't. I was watching this thing from a monitor room and that woman was extremely irritating - wouldn't shut up about group membership/mentality, even for irrelevant topics, like she'd just got out of social science 101. You couldn't see it in the edited tripe, but in the real life 1.5 hour extended version she got a lot more talk time.

The old copper was a tosser too - while everyone (including the hoon kids) said they'd learnt something from the discussion, he said he hadn't learnt anything and nothing will change blah blah - fantastic attitude / contribution.

I don't know how Ash stayed quiet for as long as he did, I was raging hard in the back at some of the stupidity from both sides of the room. There were some good moments of discussion, but yeah, we all know ACA aren't interested in that stuff. What pissed me off most, is that the general theme of the forum was the right side of the room asking the kids why they did what they did, and how they could get them to change their behaviour...so the kids told them...and got shouted down for it? Joke.

Pretty much exactly what I wanted them to show... but also exactly what I thought they wouldn't.

Errr, sounds dangerous!

Was about to come looking for this thread after I saw this ch9 mention this on fb. Sounds like it didnt go over well. Dont suppose anyone recorded it? Do they run repeats of the news later at night?(forgive my ignorance)

Cheers for the link,

A waste of 10 minutes of my life, a bunch of morons If you ask me... found it pretty funny how some people are so simple/retarded.

the blonde on the left of the "hoon" side was alright as well.

there was another pretty girl on the Ash's side... just curious was she there as an involved party, ie lost a friend/relative etc - or was there some crowd filling going on... "for TV" purposes?

The females I remember from Ash's side were the psychologist woman, and some girl who had lost her brother to some hoon accident. Also shat me up the wall because, again, she was there only to blame the kids on the left hand side for her brother "not being here today".

and some girl who had lost her brother to some hoon accident.

i'm talking about the blonde girl in the back-row on the non-hoon side... just wondering if it was usual rubbish TV producing to put her there (in the context of having someone in the "forum" who was there for no other reason than aesthetics)... then again, we didn't hear from a lot of people so maybe she was there legitimately.

Ohhhhh hahaha she was classic. Lied through her perfectly white teeth. She's a mutton-dressed-as-lamb ACA reporter - they must have cut out her part in editing, where she sobbed in the most melodramatic fashion, recounting her traumatic experience of hoons on Prinny Hwy harassing and threatening her and her camera crew.

Ash and I met her before the show, she was nice, but turn your back and there'd be a knife in it haha...that's the impression I got. Should have seen the look on her face when we asked her if there was going to be any legal car action shown during the night. We were about to leave until she brought in Luff and that host guy to convince us to stay. Should have just left.

now i have to watch the stupid thing again just to see the girls you guys are referring to.

admittedly i wasnt really paying attention the first time i saw it. waaay too much fabricated bullshit in the way

She is a reporter for ACA

Was it a prerequisite to wear a straight brim cap to get on this panel?

I bet most of those idiots drive v6 vl-vt commodores.

Ash I admire your courage participating in this. I like it how you were strategically placed on the side with respectable looking people.

Unfortunately nothing will ever change in this system. Hoons are to profitable to the government. And make for great TV for ACA and TT.

This just shows that intelligent, responsible car 'enthusiasts' are a minority and will always just be seen as HOONS.

We actually said to them "If you place us on the side with the baseball caps, we won't be doing it." But yes, I'm sure they were happy to have less normal looking people enthusiasts on the left :)

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
