At the risk of sounding prejudice against certain cars...

whats with all of the bad stories about cars...being about commodores and falcons?

I read the news everyday at work and this is one of the latest articles:

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...5-12377,00.html

People keep telling me i have a hoon car, but i havent really read of any skylines being crashed except for that red one...which i bet was stolen...

BUT working in a country town, everyone here loves commodores or falcons and gangs up on me because im into imports!!!

Anyone know any other stories or anything?

Or even, can show me stories in the news involving skylines or WRX's? :thumbsup:

5 minutes, hai 5!

Most commodores rear vision is impaired by a big f**k off skin/unit/show some/thor sticker, so they don't bother looking behind them any more because they can't really see. That's reflected to the rest of their driving habits, true story.

And I was going to buy a VE SSV Ute next :P

Do they make them for men yet??

It ain't only falcodores being tools. Had a 200sx infront of me on the freeway last week decide that it would be a good idea to spin his wheels, in the rain, amongst traffic, doing over the speedlimit and nearly lose it into the side of another car :)

I seen your old 33 do a pass on the stuart street drag strip monday :cool:

Article from: Australian Associated Press

A P-PLATER was caught driving at 180km/h before crashing his car on the NSW north coast, police said.

Highway Patrol officers were doing speed checks on the Pacific Highway at Bonville just after 4pm (AEST) yesterday when they detected a Holden Commodore allegedly travelling at 180km/h, twice the legal speed limit for P-platers.

They followed the car, which went out of control on a sweeping bend at the top of the Lyons Road overpass off-ramp and crashed into a safety railing, police said.

Police arrested the driver, an 18-year-old from Fernmount who was uninjured in the crash.

He was taken to Coffs Harbour Police station where his P1 licence was suspended and he was charged with driving at a dangerous speed, negligent driving and exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h.

He is due to appear in Coffs Harbour Local Court on July 13.

I still havent seen any reports in some the same context about skylines, WRX's etc lol

"wheel-spinning continued for more than five minutes"

falcons can do 5minute burnouts now? :)

You haven't abused an EF obviously.

Yes, falcons have a rev limiter. (Bwaaaaaaaba---baaa-bbaaa---baaaaa *drop to 1* bwaaaaaaaaaaaaabababababababaa) and so on.

Can't even believe that car sold...

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
