I've got Korns greatest hits... wanna copy?

I'm so observant (no really) - does anyone watch ABC on wednesdays, there's a show called Hollowmen which I accidently taped the beginning of, and anyway the intro has various shots of Canberra and I was about to delete it and then I spotted a Skyline! It's the arse end of a white R34. It's only a really quick shot, so I rewound and slowed it right down to be sure.

so there you go. just thought everyone should know.

got all of Korns albums...(if anyone needs a back up!!!! let me know...) need something else now lol... also pete murray and jack jonhson so not only the heavy stuff but some mellow as well. Kind of like the heavy for weights training, have disturbed, Metallica (old school) linken park,

Crackdown on ACT car hoons

29/08/2008 12:05:00 PM

Car hoons have been targeted by police in Canberra, with authorities shutting off a rural arterial road after receiving a tip off about an illegal street race.

More than 60 drivers were breath tested, 11 cars slapped with defect notices and eight traffic fines were issued in a major clampdown last night on dangerous and irresponsible driver behaviour.

Police closed off a section of Naas Rd, south of the ACT rural town of Tharwa, after receiving a tip off about a street race and burnout meet.

Traffic Operations Acting Superintendent Peter Davis said the operation was part of an ongoing effort to reduce antisocial driver behaviour on Canberra's roads.

"Police are able to target these drivers with the assistance of the public and using unmarked police vehicles," he said.

"This group appeared to have arranged this meet which was quickly shut down by police.

"We will continue to target illegal behaviour and we would encourage anyone who may see this type of behaviour to contact police."

I've read on some other forums that they're cracking down a lot and people are leaving their cars in the carpark in places like Civic or at UC and coming back to find a nice defect sticker on them. Apparently all this has a lot to do with some of the dodgy street behavior that's going on in Canberra.

I know that this Rush Hour thing isn't new but has it recently gotten bigger or something? Not sure why its so much in the spotlight now?? Plan to stay as far away from that crap as possible :thumbsup:

give us a race track then!

We've got the hillclimb track, Wakie is only an hour away and there is always rally. Not bad, although it could be better, keeping in mind that this town mainly supports theatre and arts with little support for motorsport. Bureaucracy makes official motorsport expensive for young people, so its a shame more tax dollars aren't going towards these things to keep it off the street.

Our local press doesn't cover much of local motorsport either, so promoting is difficult. I was amazed at how much the Bathurst press get behind their clubs... while I was up there at the beginning of the month it was covered on two TV stations (9&7) and their local magazine. I was on the front and back cover of their newspaper and I didn't even do anything special (just turned up), yet our clubs publicist has sent info/photos to quite a few of our local newspapers and they didn't get a mention (to my knowledge, and I was watching out).

Stanhope got rid of the V8's (sadly one of the few promises he did deliver on) and didn't deliver on his empty promise to build the Dragway within 18 months

Something to think about at voting time :thumbsup:

Some thing that goes on Thursday nights, I think the location varies. Has a lot of "car hoons" that gather and do burnouts and drifting etc. Attracts a lot of police attention.

I only know what it is cause a few of the boys on Canberra Cruises were mentioning it.

I don't know the truth to this but apparently a few weeks ago a cop was undercover and people found out and he got bashed.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
