hated how all the "hoon" side claimed to be "car enthusiasts" when clearly they werent imo. one of the kids on there is on my facebook and is the biggest honn going around, posting skids and diccussions about aquiring stokies for the night :angry: dont know how anyone can claim car enthusiast and not know about track days and more than likely still does skids on the street

edit: some on the hoon side looked like genuine enthusiasts

The kid that spoke the most just dug a hole for himself.

Looks like all they did was admit to driving over 200km/h

Then say stupid things about having a sook if he gets a yellow sticker and going doing burnouts.

Wish I could see the whole thing unedited and see what valid points there actually were.

Got any examples of what quality material was said?

that was rediculous way to swing the questions asked in the view of the people opposing "hoons"

how about the cops turn around and suggest a day each week where the race tracks are open and free for us to use??

thats why idiots use the streets, why pay to drive on the track for what 5-8mins?? and pay $70?

theirs my answer be nice if one day they listened..

Did anybody seriously think it was going to be shown in any other way? What kind of ACA viewer wants to see a fair an balanced discussion?

I honestly can't believe that hoons are still the hot topic of discussion, they've been running with it for what? 5 years now?

That's ACA for you, sensationalist BS IMHO, I'm sure our boys when given the chance would be raising all sorts of valid points pointing at the massive difference between enthusiasts and hoons.

No enthusiast that I have met has ever though burnouts were good anywhere other than at a drag-strip before a run and not one true enthusiast thinks that drifting on a main road in the wet is a good idea.

Sadly there are people out there who feel that doing a skid is better than sex and that naked ladies will jump in your car if you get sideways around a corner.

Most of the people on here have put way too much money/blood sweat and tears into their pride and joy to do stuff like that anywhere as silly as open roads when there are perfectly good tracks etc. out there where you don't have to worry about the po-po and silly nana speed limits.

just my 2c

feel free to disagree

Well the usual 1 sided crap... nothing new.

EDIT: & LOL @ the cop who says that 99.9% of the community obey road rules... maybe if he only meant always driving 10km/h under & taking 30 seconds to accelerate.

What about those who never indicates, hog the right lane on the freeway, doesn't stop for stop signs. All breaking road rules I see constantly by "normal" people in their white eco boxes.

Yeah that was a totally bullshit statement.

I mean how can the Vic Gov't rake in over 500 Million in speeding fines per year if 99.9% of people are behaving? :)

And those are the ones that get caught.

Did you say that? Lol

Have to remember what you're potentially arguing with when you argue with a cop

I see nothing about research major in statistics or the superhuman sensory perception their powers bestow them with :)

Please tell me you mentioned that while you were there haha.

E: Sunkist beat me to it >.<

Didn't get a chance to raise that statement, had already questioned a number of others and brought up other points

All of which were logical unfortunately. Next time i'll just yell and carry on, but make valid points - that'll get airtime cause retards @ home wont know the difference if there is a show on display

But risk it on the road...Kill someone life in prison

hm, really? who's going to be on the dandenong mountains for you to kill other than yourself. not that i do that, but the fact that track days are so bloody expensive for minimal time, doesn't really make anyone who hasn't done trackdays wanna do a track day.

might seem expensive for a mere 3 x 20mins, but 20mins is bloody long on the track. I understand that, but do you think the random on the street with his $5000 vt is willing to spend the money? doubt so.

Really though - those types will never go along to a track even if it were free and easily accessible - that's just their cop out. They will always find more thrill in what they can't legally do - much like how most of us felt the first time we drank underage.

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
