street racer busted on sat night !!!


Recommended Posts

Have to agree...wen it comes to that split second of whether ur going to lose your car which you've spent sh1tloads of $$ on sometimes what is the right thing to do just doesnt come into the equation...the guy decided to put his foot down and i dont think any of you (unless youve been in the same situation) can judge and say that u definately wouldnt do it if ur car was about to be confiscated...

like someones sig says

ban low performance drivers not high performance cars

leave the cars alone or we will get physical they do nothing wrong

do what you will with the driver........

but yeah you couldnt bag him for running but you could mock his Intelligence for doing so

The police have to get authorisation before engaging a high speed chase and they take into account all variables before taking action, but they kinda bend the rules when they do it.

Most probably, that is unless the dude stuffs up, and kills himself, then there is the outcry and they have to do all the proper investigation.. Thing is a 250kw+ silvia is probably going to pull away from a pursuit boat fairly easily anyhow. Unless the engine blows up :cheers: That just made a good story because they actually caught somebody. The amount of times that they don't is a lot. "street racer successfully runs away from cops" hardly makes the front page of the news.. for obvious reasons..

if it was a skyline the paper would have said 'Nissian Skyline' rather than 'Import' we all know that..............

i think they're stupid laws, i remember saying in a post about the new hoon laws that high speed chases would ensure. If the police got his plate number they should have stormed his house with a SERT team in the early hours of the morning and arrested him. not started up a chase...............

he should be banned from driving for a loooooooooooong time..........

Street Racing is NOT racing...

Take it to the drags or you deserve to get bum raped...people liek that cause the bacon to pick on those who have LEGAL imports and want to enjoy their cars...

Take it to the strip or go the **** home...

What the hell were cops doing trying to chase somebody going up to 200km/hr??

Cops should know when to pull off.. What happened if he had spun out and killed himself and others. Innocent bystanders, etc. Sure he shouldn't have been speeding, but it's a lesser of two evils I would have thought?

It would have been his own stupid fcukin fault!! What do the cops do let em go because they drive too fast? I hope the dickhead gets a good stint in a cell with bubba frankly. If you met the guy he would be a prize idiot too I'm guessing. Should have his car crushed in front of him and his licence CANCELLED.

well obviously he was breaking the law.. I just don't like propoganda when I see it.. disguised as a news story.

It would have been his own stupid fcukin fault!!

Well yes, but if he killed somebody else then you'd have to ask, is it worth the pursuit? The risk of taking lives, just for upholding the law. Even if it was his fault, put under the adrenaline he is more likely to screw up when pursued. It's happened many times in NSW, and many innocent people have been killed.

All they need to do is get the plates, and make a knock at his door the next day. I don't see why they have to be pursued there and then?

it was a Sil80 with a 20 in it, apparntly the dude had a chance but blew the motor and came to a grinding halt and thats when the boys in blue caught up wit him... rumor has it hes thrown alota cash at the engine.... theres a write up on it @ qldstreetcar

Yeh at the end of the day they would have had the rego of the car at way less than 200km/h+ and could have just called it off and waited at his house. Or at least followed a long way back. Provoking someone to speed is almost as bad as being the one speeding. What if he, police or innocent motorist had died because of the chase?

The 'HOON' would be blamed, because the police were 'protecting the innocent' even though they are putting everyone on that motorway at risk.

The above is alot safer for the police, the driver, and other innocent drivers on the motorway.

Im 19 and can figure that out, do police even think anymore?

man i cant believe the anty -hooning laws can just take your car and sell it without paying you any money. I would be going to court over that.

There is no way cops should be able to drive over 180kmph for their own safety and the safety of others!! I remember an ambulance got done a while back by a speed camera on the M1 doing 180kmph and there was all sorts of public outcry!!

They should have speed limiters. If you are driving at 100, or 110 and a car goes past at 180+ it is CRAZY and cops shouldn’t be able to do it!!

Theres an awful lot of moral outrage and high-horsing going on around here, especially considering the things I see the majority of SAU peeps do themselves.

No hypocricy from me, I'd be doing a runner too. ESPECIALLY if it was my 3rd warning and I was about to lose my car. I've whinged from the start that having a "3rd strike, youre out" rule was going to result in car chases. Of two people who have had their car taken from them, they both tried running. In a way, its kind of a pity there wasnt some sort of more serious outcome (although obviously not death or permanent injury) to give a wake-up call that taking someones pride and joy _IS_ going to result in desperate measures being taken.

I drive like a testical, and I'll be happy to be reamed in the bum if I ever get caught. But theres a big difference between losing your license, and losing your material goods. I'd like to see some peoples reactions to being caught for a 3rd time, especially in that first moment of panic the red and blue lights start flashing.

Maybe after being caught the first two times and losing your car overnight you'd think twice though right...? We're not talking about a little speeding here, I'm sure we're all guilty of that from time to time, but the "hooning" laws aren't applied on every Joe Citizen going 70 in a 60 zone in his company magna...

If you got caught street racing twice, had your car confiscated for a period of time, doing it again *knowing* what will happen if you get caught again (which is likely to happen since you've been caught twice already) and then regretting it when you see the cop lights would be pretty bloody stupid wouldn't it?

Bottom line is, if I knew I would lose my car next time I was caught I wouldn't be enough of an idiot to do it again. If this guy had got away with it, he just would have got caught some other night anyway.

Whether it's right to take a person's vehicle is another point altogether I think.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
