hello guys and gals,

as you may be aware there has been a large amoutn of unfair one sided biased reports on p platers, import owners and the like, giving us all a bad reputation. im sure you know what im talking about.

anyway, a member of another forum has had enough and is calling on everyone to send in this email that he has typed up to the aca feedback address.

Hi,

My name is ............... and I'm a member of the car scene in Australia and I am sick and tired of your one sided programs showing anyone with a modified car to be a hoon, when it is in fact the opposite! Every time you run a "hoon" story you are deliberately deceiving the public as to the real truths, and ACA have never ever once given the real members of the car scene a chance to show the real and other side to the story.

The car scene has now taken it upon themselves to make sure you hear us loud and clear, and this email is just the beginning!

We will not stop sending this same email until there is confirmation in the car scene that a proper and truthful story has been done on this subject by ACA. We will not lay down any longer and have the public only see one side of the situation.

Regards

........................., a proud member of the car scene in Australia

send it to http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/feedback/feedback_form.asp

send it in at least once everyone!

I'm more up for spamming their email address until its un-useable..

but seriously, do you think a show that so seriously distorts the facts really care what a bunch of Internet nerds put forward. Hell, that'd be the next story on their hit list.. "hackers" taking away internet freedoms or some rubbish.

Leave it for the old and the senile to believe all that shit, as they already do anyway - ACA just shows them what they already want to see and believe in their minds.

Yeah, whoever decided to set up an auto-spam program needs a 9mm hole in his head. It will do nothing and probably put a bad light on the whole thing.

Send one email from each name and email address, and remember that emails from an address like [email protected], are probably more likely to be looked at seriously than ones like [email protected] or [email protected].

Just my 2 cents.

Sending the same email over and over will at least get there attention but we should suggest a few story ideas to them. If someone could think of a story that would be entertaining and apeal to a large audience they might listen.

For example a club track day showing family and friends getting together socializing and racing around the track. Then get a few drivers to talk to the journo stating that they do drive on the streets in the cars they are racing in for the day. They could explain how they drive by the road rules and by racing on the track they become a safer more confident driver on the street. Also they could state they are sick of getting labeled as a hoon just because they drive a modified car.

Or maybe a show and shine showing the creativity and the imagination that people have to build these cars. Again the car owners could explain that they are street driven cars, they do respect the law, and they are tied of been put in the hoon category. Just a couple of ideas im sure some of you could think ofa lot better.

cheers

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • 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.
