Well, I know the press are morons who cash in on anythign at any expense........

I really have to hand it to them though, It was a top effort to find some1 as mentally challenged as that! It's a shame because manyh people will now form that as a major image in mind when they hear about car enthusists! :P

I'd write a letter to today/tonite, but they'd only take out the parts they wanted and change em to suit their needs.........

There is just no justice here! >;)

"The only good cop is a dead Cop" hmmmmmmm, Star ship troopers mentality. I dont liek coppers sniffin near my car, but i dont wanna go n take em out either. Such a retard

"The only good retard is a retard with a closed mouth" >: (

Haha yeah right

If we took them to a BBQ thingo they'd probrably make up crap for ratings

ie: christian is standing there cooking sausages and they commentate "this man obviously has crime on his mind, probrably going to stab someone with that bar-b-boss...." etc

doubt they'd even show it at all actually. i mean who really gives a shit about the positive side of stuff on them shows? it's all negative negative negative

That's exactly my point Ryan :P

(LOL at Christian with the killer BBQ tools!!)

I seen it, didnt even know it was on.

What a meathead ... I mean yer sure i HATE te jacks as well

and yer sure i wish them harm everyday, but u dont go sayin

it on tv...

Even thoe street racing is a rush and a half, and afterwards

leaves you wanting to go again, you just have to keep as an

ocasional thing. You would be realy pushin your luck is you

raced everynight.

I taped it last night and just watched it.....That freak was rediculas. He is certainly not your average car nut he is a freak.

However, did you notice that the chick driving the black celica (Yeh like that thing is road worthy) she had no horn on the steering wheel and the steering wheel doesn't meat asutralian standards even for a car of that age. I am not condoning what that freak did but I would bet that his car would stop and handle better than hers...

Anyway that is not the point, I think exceeding the limit in built up areas is stupid (the highway is another story with most roads in australia well under the international speed rating by some 20%)

Oh by the way that dark R33 on the show, anyone here own that? was it a GTR if so not a bad doughnut ...... lol

NismoGirl did you meet Urmine at Cootha on dragcombat morning? Or was his beauty too intimidating for you to approach him? LOL

No I didn't actually. I didn't meet any of the Sydney people. I met you Shell and that was about it!

Perhaps those of you over 28 or so will remember the GTHO Phase 3 Falcon, the GTR XU1 Torana, and the E38 Charger. 3 bigtime Au Musclecars from the 70's. All able to pull a sub 15sec 1/4 mile time (That was quick for a factory car in those days) All serious Bathurst contenders, and all produced cheaply by manufacturers for homogolation.

Anyone remember what happened to the Phase IV, the XU2, or the Hemi V8 equipped Charger?

The media happened.

The exact same thing ACA was preying on now, Radio and newspapers did in the 70's

"young kids in powerful cars are going to wipe out everyone" kinda thing.

Except it worked. All the manufacturers got stung hard by bad press and all of a sudden having the baddest fastest street legal track racer as part of your catalogue went from priority A to priority Z.

The media prey on the stupidity of the masses. We, as gearheads are not 'the masses' so thefore that shite don't appeal, and you'd have a less stressed day if you just blew it off as the BS it is. But for the sake of carlovers all over, keep the thought in the back of your mind that the media can and does control the masses, who control the corperations who in conjunction with the Govt, control your rights. They took away our cars once before. It sure as hell can happen again.

OK, so now u all think I'm a paranoid weirdo, I'll say Hi.

Hi, I'm Darren, I'm a pro IT geek and (hopefully) soon to be owner of a slick looking black Dec94 R33 GTS25t M Spec with a couple of little mods. I'm in Sydney and I'll be lurking on these forums a bit becuase they seem to be right full of tasty Skyline info, just the stuff I'm going to need to ensure my new beast becomes a tire frying, 1/4 mile eating, dyno crunching horespower whore.

Cheers.......

Well I wasn't old enough, but being a big ford man and i didn't mind the old XU1's, i've read a bit about the ol Phase IV GTHO and what not. But the media will always run this country, and not only this one. It's good to be in the know, but the government needs to make sure they tell the whole story and not what they want people to hear.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
