Hmm, I'm gonna go shoot some cops !!!(i am jokin here) omg sorry, im now guilty of muder and can be jailed:lol:

Thats the dumbest article ive ever read who the hell wrote that garbage. How can u make a realtion between reality and the net? it just doesnt make sense. How exactly are these ppl "defying" police by posting stuff like that?? only when they go out on the street and actually do it is this relevant at all. Keep in mind that alot of these ppl will pull over at the first sign of the ol' blue and red. Next thing u know they will say any1 with a high powered car and a computer is a crazy street racer.

*sigh* yet another dumass writing about something he has absolutely no comprehension of.

Well, its been stated elsewhere, habitual drink drivers pose a far greater threat to society, yet there has been absolutely no effort to apply the same level of punishment to these dregs of society. These bozos simply walk away with a slap on the wrist. They get their licence suspended - again! (how can you suspend a licence that's already on suspension?). But they continue to offend, and no-one does a cracker to stop them.

Fair enuff but how many times do u here about ppl gettin busted for draggin as opposed to ppl gettin done for DUI. What do u want em to do?? publicly stone them to death? i have a m8 that got done a few years back for DUI and he used to drive home every weekend trashed. Since he got his lic back he hasnt once got behind the wheel even slightly pissed, now that is what they are trying to acheive so good on em.

Gotta fight a war on all fronts and thats what they are doin. Its mainly the fear thing that they are tryin to get into our heads. who would honestly drag under the threat of being caught when they can go to a track?

I'm not talking about 1st time offenders, I'm talking habitual / repeat DUIs - like that the sphincter of the universe you've got over there in the West (ACA the other night). Despite being a repeat DUI, he still has his car. He just doesn't have a licence.

Suspending their licence doesn't stop them driving, and it doesn't stop them driving drunk. LOCK THE BASTARDS AWAY (IMHO) so they can't continue to not learn the lesson we are trying to teach them. Or at least confiscate his car so he can't drive it for a while.

Yeh i get ure point but ACA is not exactly a real source of info seeing as its just tabloid news. Think i saw that story, they heckeld the guy in the bottle shop and said ooooh hes evil cause hes in abottle shop but he was buyin fanta and his m8 was drivin. IMHO ACA should have a disclaimer "all stories are based on actual events" cause thats all they are "stories" not fact at all any1 who believes otherwise is an idiot (no offense intended to any1 who watches it).

The problem is that there is a grey area between actually criminal offenses and traffic infringments so it kinda makes it hard and can create issues. These ppl are odd cases and for the amount of ppl who are DUI offenders id say these types make a VERY small percentage. I dont think the same could be said for ppl with speeding fines now could it??:)

what a totally pointless article!! :zzz:

of course people are going to be opposed to having their car impounded!! so they have a bit of a whinge about it on their club website - umm so what?? they probably whinged to their mates too, oh and their gf, maybe even the next door neighbour :)

My point is...it's not exactly "news" that people have a bit of a bitch on discussion forums.

must have been a slow news day :)

But do u hear any objections to movies like "the fast and the furious"?? well i havent seen it yet but im sure it would make every dumass riceboy wannabe get in their dads car and try and drive it under a truck or sumfin completely dumb like that. U know how ppl come out of a jackie chan movie and are all like "whhaaaa wgahh hrakow " with there m8s as they jump around like tools. What makes sensors think that these same idiots wont do the same on the road?

Hoons use Net to defy crackdown....

I guess:

"Car Owners voice their opinion on a serious issue affecting them via the fastest growing method of communication"

just wouldn't have the same ring to it now would it (besides being too long winded!).

so the story goes, a pair of idiots in the US raced eachother after seing that movie, one of em plastered his car all over the back of another car or something. And you only had to stand outside in the cinima carpark and watch people drive out, u could see which ones had gone to see that movie, they were the excel drivers trying to pull drags with skylines and stuff on the way home....

i think they make out street racing to be alot more dangerous then it actually is.. granted some is dangerous...

but there are other times were you race to the speed limit.. anyway i dont think hooning will stop. personally i would rather here about car enthusiasts meeting up havin a good chat about there pride and joy, then getting together and raping girls or murdering people..

    • Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.
    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
