Yesterday at 3:40pm just after school, i was walking down new street when a white holden ute stop in the middle of the road. Cars stop and line up almost to the end of church street and the guy starts to do a burnout. judging from the group of people around, laughing there asses off at this poser (like me), noone thought this guy was the least part "cool". he does one, then goes for another one, somehow he reverses into a red golf behind (why was his car in reverse, then again i have no idea how to do a burnout). His tow bar gets lodged in the poor golf then the guy tries to drive off pulling the golf about 10 metres down the road... what was this deackhead thinking?

hahaha gold... that's a street away from me and I missed it! damn I always miss fun stuff...

was walking down to get some breaky a couple of weeks back and a tool in a Audi RS4 kept booting it around the roundabout on church and st andrews... like full bore launching this thing down crowded streets... he was obviously showing off to his mate in the passenger seat but seriously, not a great place to demonstrate the cars 0-100km/h time!

ps. it fully chirped 2nd though

I saw a tool in the side streets of richmond between Swan and Church being a hero in his.... wait for it.... Toyota Sera! Yes that's right, his ultra high performance SERA!!! it was wet and I was behind him and all of a sudden he slows to a complete stop, next thing he revs it's tits off and dumps the clutch and does a burnout up the road, keeps flooring it then gets to the first of 3 roundabouts and decides to power on half way through it.... So instead of going around the round a bout he goes in a straight line because his wheels are just spinning trying to get traction, BANG! Straight into lamp post! Dumbass! I lol's and left him there. He was ok but the car which is nearly all glass was not doing to well.

I feel sorry for the person in the Golf. What hope did they have.

I don't know why they bother anymore. I don't think anyone actually cares anymore. Watch for 2 seconds to work out what the noise is. Mumble something like. What a tool then go back to what your doing.

I used to work with a bloke for a short time who would go out and buy a set of 18" tyres for his zorst and chipped EA (ish?) Falcon XR8. He on average had a set of tyres for about 4 weeks (sometimes less) before he replaced them. EVERY TIME.

Beyond a joke really. Seen one burnout seen them all. (except for an awesome oldschool rx7 burnout I saw on the net about 10 years ago (A proper burnout comp though)

saw an epic one a couple of years ago... some dickhead tried to powerslide his BRAND NEW (like 1 day old) cv8 munro round the sliplane onto kings way from albert road....

he got it way more sideways that he expected and.... right as the car was about to kick back......

HIT THE BRAKES!

he scandy flicked it into a pole @ 60kph, but was lucky enough to hit just behind the door...

i was literally crying when we saw that no one was hurt...

I was on Vic Cruise Club recently and they were trying to organize a track day which I was all for. However one of the Commodore drivers said "will there be a burnout pad? Track is boring, who wants to go around in circles? Spinning on the spot bouncing off the limiter is where all the fun is to be had." :P

That's because they know that the imports will destroy them :D

Why are there so many Commodores cruising down Chapel St? Because there's no corners ;)

We've had lots of Hero's like this lately. 2 of them died the other day and 5 the other week. When will people learn...:P

They don't learn because tend not to learn from other people's experiences; only their own.

People who drift on the street seem to think that public roads are perfectly maintained surfaces like racing tracks and that if you lose control the worst that will happen is a hard bump like in a go kart. It usually takes a bad car accident to make someone realise a metal cocoon isn't much better than hitting the bitumen off a motorbike.

Not when you're doing stupid things in a car...

Also that statistic is largely influenced by the chance of the initial impact happening in the first place though, and what happens after the impact. Factors like motorbikes not being easy to see, motorcyclists doing stupid things, not wearing enough safety gear, cars running over fallen motorcyclists...result in those statistics. IMO I'd rather come off a motorbike properly geared up with kevlar and a helmet than have a pole come through the side of my door in a car and put bare skin to metal/glass.

And then there are the people who dont learn at all. My Brothers friends case and point, got P's, borrowed brothers car, wrote it off, borrowed mums car wrote that off, all this in less than 3 months. Or his other idiotic friend who wrapped his Xr6 turbo around a pole got paralysed from the waist down, then got another Xr6 turbo with his payout decked out with hand controls before rolling that on a residential street. Some people just never learn and never will.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
