shrug.. its naturally progression..

cops pick on modified car owners, something happens.. crowd turns on cops. There is a lot of agression and animosity towards police (and the media) over this issue these days.

Although to topic is an applicable one considering recent events, I seriously despise the poor reporting methods employed by the media. But then again, they don't refrain from neglecting any standard or ethics (and truth) - their job is to sell newspapers, not report the (unbiased) truth.

As for these clowns, well, it was bound to happen.

It's ironic that the ethnic background one of the reporters would have been from a large portion of those that were involved in the illegal street racing and subsequent 'brawl'

The media are vultures, while it was wrong for the crowd to turn on them, you can't say they didn't have it coming.

Otherwise, bunch of young idiots out to prove themselves and it ends in tradgedy, and it gives the rest of us a bad name.

this dosent help anyone..............it kinda helps prove the media's point of saying that car enthuasts shouldnt be let out at night.......

that was really dodgy how the only car mentioned in the other crashes that have happened recently was the skyline.............prehaps they know nissian isnt going to go after them for slander cause not even they want the car in oz!

Well, I can see why the crowd revolted against the media.

The media was the Daily Telegraph, the paper that consequtively ran front page p plate bashing stories, and has continued to attack any modified cars, especially targetting skylines, blaming young people for all of the traffic problems, and generally being the complete editorialising bastards that they are.

I wouldn't have attacked them, but i would've stuck it to them in words.

But don't take that as an excuse, attacking the police doing their job (apparently as far as I know) and street racing, is just plain dumb and lame.

It's a real shame, I wouldn't want to be the one who got crushed between the cars, and I wouldn't have been there watching anyway, who honestly organises a street racing meeting, I thought we all agreed fatf style was gay...

:werd:

If i was involved, and the media came, i wouldnt just stand there tho. :chairshot :matrix:

As for the police, fcuk the hole 'Pig' thing, its true, there just doing there job.

As for the people that watch illegal street racing, your just as bad, stupid and fcuked as the ones driving.

.............it kinda helps prove the media's point of saying that car enthusiasts shouldnt be let out at night.......

I'd hardly classify street racers as "car enthusiasts".....

An enthusiast is someone who knows and respects the boundaries of their car, and is aware of the fact that public roads were created for travel purposes, and were never intended to be used as a racetrack.

Don't stick entusiasts in the same basket as common hoons.

I think SAU should stop linking to articles like this.. it just makes that particular stories hits/uniques shoot through the roof after every sau user clicks on it 3 times, and makes the media think "Great these car crash stories about skylines are really popular lets make more!"

I would say the media comes here to regularly see the "other" side of the story, and gain an insight into the thoughts behind many of the actions..

Just like the cops do..

Once those types would have never thought about visiting Internet sites. I think know most know that a lot of said activities are planned through certain forums (not SAU)

that's how they (media) see everyone, as the same. with no difference between common hoons and car enthuasists. they have no commercial interests in telling the two apart. allthough there is a difference i agree. but that difference is legally hard to prove and that's where the problem is

i dont know why people arch up so much, they're just VVankers, if having a whinge is what they get a kick out of then good on em, each to their own. they're not the government

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
