Saturday morning/lunchtime spotted 2 maroon R33's, on both occasions drivers were clearly looking down texting while driving and didn't see me wave. Switch on ya idiots, if you stack into a tree it'll be another kick in the nuts for performance/modified vehicles cos seriously who's guna see a skyline wrapped around a tree and think "i bet they were driving safely and not speeding".

I had another sweet road rage incident haha.

Had a commonwhore follow me down Barton highway sitting I close for my liking.

Did the old tap on the brakes and slowed to about 60 in 100k zone but they still wouldn't over take.

Ended up finally flying past me on double line with a huge puff of smoke

Well just spotted and joined for little while a mini cruise comming out of Kambah to round the back of Hyperdome.

33, 34, BMW, 2 x Evo's, 200sx and a v8 commi and my 34

Dont know where they were off to but was fun splitting both sides around this fuel tanker (bit of Fast n Furious style) :D lmao

Rev Head round up on ACA tonight at 7.30. Fark me

extra attention from the Po Po for a while, like there's not enough already.

I hate hoons bringing this down on enthusiasts.

last weekend for example. Good time had without doing burnouts and drag racing.

Time and time again it kills me to see the 'car enthusiasts' they interview - were they ever to interview a proper enthusiast or come to a proper event, and write a story without putting a bad spin on it from the beginning, things would be a different story.

I know! Why do they always pick such total dumbarses?!

We've talked many times about inviting them to one of the bigger, properly organised events in Sydney (such as the Anniversary Cruises for example) but we just don't trust them!

At the end of the day, we'd have NO SAY on how the story is run. And we all know what that means! It's better to try to keep our name away from them altogether.

After working in the media for 20+ years my best advice is ...... Don't do it.

Journalists will rarely do the story you want to tell, they will do the story that will be the most sensational regardless Of how many facts get bent, twisted or completely blown apart. There is a simple equation .. News must get ratings, ratings equals viewers/readers/listeners, which equals a demand for advertising which of course equals money .. And that's all that counts.

No one will want to watch a story about a bunch of Skyline drivers cruising, sticking to the speed limit and drinking milkshakes, so the journos don't want to know about that stuff. Show the public a story of a group of people that everyone from 9 to 90 should fear, in screaming turbo charged visions of death doing burnouts, now there's an attention getter (even bigger when you chuck in a few P platers)

Tread very carefully using journalists to get recognition, think about who or what they are working for first.

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
