After being a member now for quite some time I find it interesting that the SAU has no street stories area and is against any subject that touches on the ‘power on the streets’ topic. I know more than anyone the dangers of street racing with two of my best friends in hospital after racing on the streets (yes I know they are dick heads and no I wasn’t in the car) however I find it amusing that many of us talk about having 200-300rwkw+ power figures and I would be surprised if any of us haven’t ever put a group of morons that roll up next to us to shame in a VT clubby or the like.

I’m not interested in people posting stuff like “I hit 200km/h then the highway patrol GTS came out and couldn’t keep up” kind of thing, just the amusing little things that happen on those daily drives that would bring a smile to those that read the thread.

In NO WAY am I condoning illegal street racing or drags but rather wondering why any topic at all about putting the boost gauge over ‘0’ on the streets is so strongly ridiculed by us, the owners of some of the most powerful street cars in Australia.

My 2 cents anyway. What are yours…

IT's because we don't want to encourage silly behaviour. I might make a judgement of a particular situation and decide how far I'm willing to go but someone else might take my tale of the event as condoning some other behavior not envisaged by me.

Basically we avoid "kill stories", and try to keep tabs on posts about breaking the law, because that's how we wanna run the forums, a clean, hassle free environment.

This results in:

a) making this forum pretty boring for the likes that frequent Fast Fours forums etc.

B) makes discussions safe, so we don't have cops goin thru our forums to find out when our next cruise is, so they can set up EPA stations and RBT units.

c) We don't need kill stories and brags because we know our cars are the goods and we just don't have to compare em to anyone else.

If you really need to impress someone with stories, your car goes just as fast on the race track (if not faster) than on the street, and its a WHOLE lot safer.

On here street dragging is like your sexlife, everyone knows you do it, but no one needs to know how or when you do it or with who, it dosen't make you any less of a person if we didn't know either. What you do is your private info, and dosen't need to be made public.

There's amusing things that happen every day, and we have a wasteland to discuss all that, but not all amusing things are recieved as well. If I got a kick out of killin someone, and came on here and described how much fun I had killin someone, not everyone's gonna see the humour in it. Likewise with any other activity that breaks the law, some people don't like it, and rather than make a few people happy and upset a lot, we have a majority rule. Its democracy.

Very Wisely spoken words Shan, your 100% correct and my observation was based purely on having alook at a few other forums and noticing this aspect as the main difference between SAU and the majority is all.

"On here street dragging is like your sexlife, everyone knows you do it, but no one needs to know how or when you do it or with who"

Maybe we can exchange stories along these lines as a substitute. But again the guys at Vic Roads and the EPA would probably jump on the forum more and more!! To make up for their lack of experience in this area

where is the leb-jet-bt1 when you need him to post of street racing?

but yer, as Shan said, just keep it clean, and we are left alone...

somewhat debateable considering i've been pulled over 4 times in a matter of 8 days !

but there wont be any 'substitution' stories as such :D

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      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?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      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.
