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

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
