yeh that was bullsh*t and the fact that the car infront when they were showing the street bit was a skyline means that we are going to get targeted even more. i get told off by people when i am going 40 in a 50 zone. it piss*s me off so i stop and give them a piece of it haha

AHHAA

i watch that tonight and i couldn't believed they think the footage is from australia. I was thinking about sending them an email saying how they have miss informed the viewer and the footage is in fact from japan and is very old (3-4years old) if i remember right the 1st time i saw the footage it had a title like Drifting in japan initial d style Rx7 vs r32

i think your best bet is to email channel 9 show and tell them about it, as they always run things about how today tonight f**ks up LOL

Anybody who believes a today tonight story could be the slightest bit factual needs to visit a doctor and get their head taken out of their arse. I saw it and thought it was pretty funny, especially the cop browsing youtube to try and convict people lol. Replaying street drifting videos from japan every 2 seconds surely must have been the idea of some new student who has just posted their enrolment forms for a media course.

Dont bother complaining to today tonight, they won't give a sh*t and will continue to air bogus stories to their target audience of old senile gullible people. I'd suggest emailing the chaser's war on everything about it if you want to attempt to get any sort of positive resolution, they love ripping the shit out of today tonight and ACA.

yes, we drift and do burnouts everyday because tires are so cheap here and everyone's not afraid to crash and burn... in fact, we do that even while having lunch and sleeping

So has anyone e-mailed today tonight or channel 9 or even chasers then? we could at least try? if anyone can provide me with some footage of it so i know what i am talking about i am more than happy to send e-mails through.

I met Dixie Marshall who heads up channel 9 news team, i think thats a great idea. Dont know if it will go to air however might give channel 9 some ammunition if something else were to happen as well. She said that they do like stuff like that :thumbsup:

There are only two ways to deal properly with them:

1: Don't watch it. If the show comes up in conversation tell anyone who is prepared to listen not to watch it. Clearly the stories & the "journalism" on the show are from the bottom draw. In fact how the have the gall to call it current afairs is beyond me. None the less while ever they can get ratings that are in any way acceptable they will continue to broadcast such rubbish. So stop watching. This will both lower their ratings & also stop everyone from getting upset...

2: If you want to complain, you have to do it first to Channel 7. Effectively to complain to the ACMA (Australian Communications & Media Authority) you need to give the broadcaster (channel 7) the opportunity to resolve your grievance. The link is here. http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD//pc=PC_90137

You can also try the Chaser & Media Watch. But this happens all the time & the tv stations have a hide as thick as a rhino's.

Haha i like that idea :happy:

They can go around and drift RC cars around town and then have people dressed up as cops give them speeding fines and impound them :thumbsup:

I volunteer my RC drift car for the segment :thumbsup:

Seriously, that segment was just utter bullshit.. ".. wherever they are, we'll catch them.. " yeah mate, fly to japan and TRY catch the people so you can hold them accountable to Australian laws.. Top Stuff. Is anyone else disgusted with how stupid our "top cops" appear to be?!?

Surprised? No, not really.

Remember these are the same people who periodically confess they are unable to actually do anything about curbing the road toll.

How long would you keep you job after you told your boss you didn't know how to do it?

Or for that matter completely misrepresented something that it takes all of 10 minutes to verify (ie drifting was in Japan)?

Accountability for both the police & for journalists is completely non existant.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
