You do not go to illegal drag meets, and try and paint a picture that things are "good".

The typical people taht attend such things are the kinda dumb idiots you see on Highway Patrol... it'll never end well.

If you wanted to paint enthusiasts in a good light, you would come to a sanctioned and legal event.

maybe he should write a story about internet safety? At least it wouldnt be a waste of ink.

I can predict the title, "hoons are also internet pirates stealing all your personal information!"

I thought the age was better than this :)

F*** ya'll! Just because there's a controversial thread doesn't mean I have to offer up my opinion! So anyway...

I'm thinking this Ian fellow has gone about this totally the wrong way. But to be honest it sounds more like a troll than a genuine enquiry - journalists can be stupid, but who is stupid enough to throw a negative label over the people you want to speak to like that? Or perhaps he's actually doing a story on SAU and wanted to find out our reactions to such a question.

In the event that it is genuine...I'm sorry that you expected to find hoons here...we have a couple who aren't too bright (every car club does) but most of us are car enthusiasts. Future tip: don't call the person you want to speak to, a hoon. You might as well have called them a no good f***ing idiot. If I were a hoon I sure wouldn't want to talk to you. And I don't want to talk to you...so does that make me a hoon? Errr :)

I equate this to doing a report on serial killing and asking to spend a weekend with a serial killer, asking him to show you a thing or two by killing some people and then (assuming you survived the weekend) writing an article whinging about how much murder there is nowadays (read: you really are stupid).

If you want a real article that will get read then go against the pop-media grain and write something about differentiation of car enthusiasts from car hoons. Underground infiltration has been done to death.

Yeah. And lets not forget about the extra taxes Journalists have placed on lands that are an abutment of Church grounds....so yeaaah.....lets do it.

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By r32-25t · Posted

      Standard GTRs are boring and there plenty of them, do what ever you want to it and just remember nothing about them is cheap anymore and if you’re picky about how you want things done it gets even worse.    if it’s an n1 or something very limited then maybe care more about it’s heritage

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!

      As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car

      Any feedback on GReddy Turbine Kit T620Z in r33 GTST/RB25DET?

      By R3N3 · Posted

      For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By R3N3 · Posted

      +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
