This is the reason I didn't go...although I thought the problems would be as people left the event.

The problem I see with what the police have done here is (although they might have been within their legal right to do it) to deter enthusiests going to organized events. Imagine if they decided to put this sort of presence at an organized drag night at a drag facility. People would not end up going to those and instead move more to the illegal street drags which the event is put on to prevent. I thought the idea of these organized events are to give enthusiests a legal outlet for something they are passionate about.

This is becoming beyond a joke, next thing you know, they'll be outside your house waiting for you..

No one was doing anything wrong.

Hmm yes they are, the new SE TMU cop shop is at the end of my street and boy those cop cars do no where near 50km/h down my street (This is even in their private vehicles BTW). :wave:

You try driving your car in fear that you just reverse on the street and will be pulled over by some smack tard with a chip on his shoulder. The reason our types of cars are targeted over rust buckets is plan and simple.......

The cops are scared that they won't be able to keep up with us end of story. :huh: Plus that cops will look at the car and go nice car, hmm drawn attention now better meet my quoter for the day!

It is BS my misses could be driving my car and the coppers won't even look twice, if I am driving it I get looks of contempt and being labeled a hoon when I am not.

I am car enthusist who takes pride in their car and hence the reason it has been off the road being re-sprayed for the past month. Till the heat seattles down from the young drop kicks who decieded to show their mates look I can do a burnout in a shit box VS commonwhore. We are all going to need to be carefull about how our cars are presented and make sure we meet the legal requirements. If we meet it them the coppers have nothing to pick on. (BTW That pevs a copper of more than actually have the satisfaction of giving you a defect) If you want to get even, make sure your cars are legal for the street.

but it is just that. boys will be boys. the current generation will most probably do it for a few months/years then they will grow out of it, but then the younger kids will start doing the same things.

i remember when i was younger that i did similar things and other boys did the same. i went back to my town and saw all the kids that were in year 5/6 when i was in year 9/10 doing similar things and going to similar haunts that i did. you cannot stop them, the only thing that can be done is providing them with legal and safe opportunities to be a hoon. which is cheap.

what did it cost the ppl at noble park maccas, nothing. so i dont think they will be willing to spend $120-200+ to go on a track 6 times a year. maybe a carpark every weekend for maybe $10-30 might just do it. but even then you will find kids that would rather hoon on the streets.

a prime example is drugs/alcohol/ciggies not allowed before 18, but how many ppl 17 and under drink? how many parents get ciggies/alcohol for their under 18 kids?

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
