Not sure if this interests anyone - but details are below.

TAC Minister John Lenders today called on young filmmakers to enter a film competition to raise awareness about the dangerous risks young people take on the road.

The Comp: Make a Film, Make a Difference

Required entrants to submit original concepts to win one of two $20,000 grants to make a short-film highlighting the dangers.

He said the competition was open to people aged 25 years and under and was part of the TAC’s drive to reduce the incidence of road trauma among young people.

The two winners will be given a $20,000 production budget to make their film, access to a mentor or producer and a $5,000 grant to assist with future filmmaking. It is planned that their films would be screened in Victorian cinemas at the end of the year.

FURTHER INFO

OPENS: The competition opens today.

CLOSES: The closing date for entries is 17 June.

Details including a brief are available here.

how many 3fast 3furious movies are people gonna make.

if i had the time to think of an idea i'd love to enter this just for the fun i have when making movies etc

actually, an idea i know will certainly not win: midlle aged non-import driving conservative business men and women, swerving, speeding and weaving through traffic, in car shot of the man/woman looking in review mirrion and *though* "come no barstard let me in" then cuts in front of someone while the car in front actually stops for a red light and BANG car crash. "if you're middle age, and arrogant, you're a bloody idiot"

what am i talking about, that never happens......................... *swear*

I need a new Mac - but am too old :)

Here's two ideas if anyone wants to milk them...

1. Tram passenger alighting hit by car

---------------------------------------------

Scene: 4WD picking kids up from school in inner suburban area eg: Hawthorn. Kids jump in back and are f*cking around (as kids do). Mum looks agitated (as mums do).

Scene: More kids (older and in uniform) get on tram and are f*cking around (as kids do).

Scene: 4WD seen in traffic on major road - can see tram up ahead.

Scene: Kids on tram laughing and joking and generally being little twats (like normal kids).

Scene: Kids in car messing around - mum turns to yell occasionally - can tell traffic and kids stressing her. She overtakes another car with gusto (prob driving an X5 - sweet :)). Can see she closer to the tram now.

Scene: Tram stopping (lights flashing) - show mum yelling at kids again

Scene: Inside tram kids saying goodbye to one kid who is getting off. Show kid stepping out door and... WHAM - 4WD hits kid and he's gone.

Scene: From behind tram show 4WD slamming on brakes and skidding to stop. Too late...

Scene: Emergency services on site. Cops with mum - blanket pulled over kid on stretcher.

TAC Logo & something about paying attention in busy traffic.

2. Slogan for drink driving

-------------------------------

Good for holiday period messages.

Show guy drinking at party with buddies. He seen with beer and also soft drink. Not maxi-smashed, but could go either way.

Ballsy voice over guy - "if you are going to drink and drive these holidays..."

Cut to dude's face looking up (from stretcher) with blood and hollow, lifeless eyes - car in bg wrapped around pole or bus or something. Medics pull sheet over guy and pick up gurney to put into Ambulance.

"... don't get carried away"

TAC logo.

There you have it.

Both billion dollar ideas. Use them and profit!

I want props though - make it that the 4WD has Golgo plates ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
