Did anyone see the Today/Tonight story on Hoons ?

Just goes to show all the f'wits that do this are not the import owners, but good o'l Aussie vehicle drivers.... 99% of the cars where commodores, I did not see 1 import driver involved!!... the 1% was that stereo van.

Why were there no import drivers you ask?... well because the majority of import drivers are sensible drivers and respect the vehicle they have!!! .. its the minority that f it for us.

I hope the police read this post and realise who the moron drivers are out there!, please stop picking on imports and go after the real losers out there ... eg the VL/VN?VR/VS Commodre drivers that ruin it for everyone and can't do anything but burnouts.

Why do I feel like im hitting my head against a wall though when I say all this.

End rant!

Rob.

Yeah i sat there glued to the TV while my dinner got cold thinking this is gonna be a HATE peice focused n imports when all i end up seeing is COMMONWHORES!

Firstly is does just show who the real instigators of the problems are and secondly thanx for lettin my dinner get cold you barstards :) hehe

But seriously it must make the police think twice when this kinda of act is fully documented and caught on camera SHOWING that clearly in that footage there was 99.99% commondores.

Common SAPOL do us a favour and do something about the real problem, take a leaf outta VIC's book (can't beleive i said that) and do something about the real people cause problems out there on our roads.

Not all Commodore owners are losers mate.I own a caliais turbo and am nothing like that and never will be.

These guys are normally young P plater wanna be BROCKY'S, but dont put all of us into that bracket.

There are people out there doing that sort of stuff in all sorts of cars NOT just commodores.What makes people drifting there IMPORTS through industrial back streets any better? Just as bad.

No disrespect intended.

Majority spoil it for the minority.. oh or is it the other way around lol :D

It comes down to the ol' VL to VS's are pretty damn cheap to the point where every P plater and their dog can own one. This is why you see so many flying around, Just drive down Anzac on a Friday/Saturday night.

My sister who's 16 just bought a yellow VL BT1 on gas thats done what looks like a genuine 200,000km's for $1800 from a bloke that came in to some money and wanted a new car.

The imports.. some can afford them even though they are also getting cheap but the problem is insurance. This is what I think puts a lot of young people off them.

Its not so much its this car or that car its what P platers can afford at the time.

I think with the case of the imports its the minority that spoil it for the majority + a lot of the older school people really don't like the 'jap crap' cars.

My old man is one of them ;)

Thats my thoughts anyhow.

Sounds like you need to give him a bit of a 'late model Jap crap' education then mate ;) Ask him if he'd like to use his other eye :)

hahah.. i'm sure he will come around once he takes it for a spin.

He keeps asking me.. When are you dropping the motor in.. I say.. when i can get in the shed. ;) Funny thing is he used to freak out at me leaving the shed messy when I lived there, now i've moved out it is worse than ever. 1 VL Shell + 1 VL that runs but has no front shocks + wood shavings every where.. lol.

Yeah, i agree.

VL's and the like can be had for next to nothing these days, so they're affordable

to P platers for sure.

Imports are also getting very affordable, but like you said, insurance is a problem for these guys.

I am looking at putting my 500hp running gear into an R32 with GTR kit and 19's.

See how we go, very tempting.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
