Wondered this myself, dont know any history there. However these people are very close knit and the forum is private so I don't know what they would have to gain by making it up. Especially because I know the names dropped in the thread are real people - as opposed to made up shit.

ns.com thread kids.

Thanks to the Olds.

Will be interesting to see what the Sunday Mail write up tomorrow.

I reckon it'll be in the papers sometime next week - they dont put it together and print it out in such short notices do they? Or unless they had a pre-written hoon article about operation diagonal cracking down on hoons meeting up in the hills for a deadly race to the death and just wanted to grab fresh pictures before printing it out.... :bunny:

Just got off the phone to Neil Hastie from SAPOL. A meeting is being organised between himself and Inspector Philip Newitt (the guy running Operation Diagonal), myself, and Shane to discuss improving the image of legitmate car clubs such as SAU:SA.

Neil has assured me that recent events have not dampened their aim to work with clubs to improve the image of imports. They are aware that labelling all imports the same (as the media is doing) is counter-productive and casues more problems than it solves. They are aware ACC and RCK are the problem areas, and even the S15 incident on the weekend was non-car club related.

I will provide a summary of the outcome of the meeting in due course.

Until then, please refrain from doing anything stupid :P

:(

Just reading the NS thread by the Olds, and i think it would be very valid and crucial to have members from the other associated forums attending this meeting. Remember we are not just defending SAU:SA, but we are not defending the hoons and hangers on that associate themselves with these clubs and forums and bring them into disrepute.

I can not highlight enough the point of no one talking to the media, they will twist and turn your words into anything that will make a story and sell papers.

Remember that when you are driving an import, you are representing a wider community. Therefore any wrong you do will throw judgement on us all.

:D  this came just at the right time... i think its only fair if they crush the police car he was driving... there should be no double measures here. if they can crush cars owned by parents, they should also crush a cop car...

yeah, i also think itd be a good idea to bring one of the senior members of ns on board for ruby's meetings with sapol. ie, kat, kristian, or the olds.

I have been in contact with certain senior members of HT/NS.

Wow ... first Rann unites the bikies to fight against him ... now the import car clubs are uniting to fight against him :D

otherwise that will be double standards ahh but hang on he was drink driving of a blood alcohol level or 0.217......he is fine as he wasnt hoon driving....so they wont crush the car and just coz he was a cop he might get off lightly too...

If they start crushing cars for so called "hooning" like spinning the wheels off the lights etc or doing 100 in a 60 (so F*^&in what) how about they start cutting off the hands of thieves, or the offending members off rapists, or putting murderers to death (on the spot - no trial)

This whole situation is just ridiculous. It is a total bloody joke. They are putting more effort into speeding/hooning then getting real criminals off the street & into jail where they belong.

How about getting off their ass & giving us a decent track to go for it instead of all this bullshit.........

I am not condoning silly youngsters in so called high powered cars thinking they are fast & smashing their cars up like on Magill road (looked like completely stock motors on the road in the photos!) a while back, but give me a break.

The crushing idea is just plain stupid. If the car belongs to someone else or is under finance then who loses out?

If a car gets crushed it doesnt stop that person driving another car does it? Does the roll toll get that affected by people doing burnouts? No. High speed maybe. Drink driving definately. Biggest problem in country areas is people falling asleep due to the stupid speed limits. If they raised it to 160 on the freeways no one would fall asleep!!!

What is some joker has just stolen a car.. is he going to care about hoon laws if he gets pulled over - dont think so.

They should increase the penalties for the criminal behaviour & let common sense prevail on the streets.

I go out to Mallala to get my jollies - maybe the cops should put money towards that & get off our back.

I had a chat with the inspector Newitt (or Nisbit ?) heading taskforce diagonal tonight, and he believes that the crushing legislation is going to be passed soon. He also said that crushing will only be used for repeat offenders of serious HOON behaviour rather than just a one off events. (Not sure that that is enough reassurance for me though)

The impression I got was that they are actively targeting individuals that engage in stupid behaviour rather than clubs and associations. That being said he indicated there will be little tolerance given by any police officer for people caught endangering themselves or others on the roads.

I thought I read "Inspector Nismo"

I've been told that by people from SAPOL also. They're doing their best contacting committee members/leaders of car clubs and expressing this statement. SAPOL are aware that the trouble makers in jap cars are individuals and not members of legitimate import car clubs.

I had a call from Neil Hastie yesterday. Inspector Newitt will be caling me sometime this week to arrange a meeting between SAPOL and Shane and myself. We will be raising this discussion with them.

:cool:

think i seen task force diagonal at work last night on pt wakefield rd. cop on bike pulling over commo (hopefully its 1 of the 1s in the paper but i have my doubts) fortunately my pea green civic dose not attract any unwanted attention :P

I drove past two car units on the port expressway last night. Both times they just watched me roll past. Didn't see any cameras or equipment attached. I get the feeling the have someone specific in mind.

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 馃槢
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
