Same reason you see burnouts up hills.

Those with pissweak cars need a 'chock' or hill to do a skid otherwise they don't have the power.

1 strip usually ensues.

These are what we call "sikkunts", often found in low-economic areas such as kwinana/balga.

ROFL @ maccas trays!

When I used to live in scarborough years ago (before they closed off half of that street that goes up the hill at the end of the carparks), someone in a Swift dumped 20L of oil at the bottom of that hill and ALL night idiots were lighting it up up the hill, got to the point where the cops came out and sat on the median strip with the lights going all night.. highly annoying as it was RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR BLOODY APARTMENT!

That was a ritual for decades before the appartments were built.

Scab's burnout night, every weekend. Features include:

* police riot vans

* A demonstration by the council sand dumping ute and it's dare devil team of on-call workers.

* both red and yellow stickers

* people showing their tits (including the rare female)

* People running around a car park with car jack

* slots of blown tyres that look like the ones you left at the tyre place the day before because they were bald.

* cars driven by drivers without a licence doing a burnout

* unlicenced cars doing a burnout with drivers who still have a licenece but, are about to lose it

* unlicenced cars driven by unlicenced drivers doing burnouts

* Unlicenced monkeys driving unlinced uni-cycles doing burnouts

* people giving the signal and saying things like 'arc it up mate'

And many more exciting events.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
