you see more falcon/commadore hoons because they are the most common car on the road. i see just a many skyline owners that just have to show me that there skyline is better/more powerful than mine by trying to race or getting wheel spin. im guilty of spirited driving too and i would say that most people with a skyline have done it at some stage.

I agree that going to the track would make is easier to behave on the road by getting your fix so to speak, but i have yet to see a track that is free of charge like the road. thats how you get hoons of the road in my opinion, like a bmx/skate park kind of setup for cars. i know im dreaming

pretty much answered your own theory/question......it will never happen.....specially if the rann govt is still in power.....because they believe that a race track here in SA closer then lala would get more people hooning on the roads....look at all the other states....they all have a circuit and a drag strip......for f**k sake tasmania even has a drag strip

lol worked with the people who used to skate at shopping centers but unfortunately i cant see it working as easy with cars. there needs to be people running a track due to the safety issues. so it will always cost $.

as long as its not stupidly priced it should get people off the streets though.

you can go to mallala for $125. There is no excuse

i cant afford $125 for a track day. but that is just the cost to get into the track not fuel/helmut, break pads etc. im sure for a lot of people on here that is nothing but to me that is alot.

im not saying that because i cant afford a trackday it gives me an excuse to hoon. but car enthusiats come from all walks of life.

You better not ever get busted speeding then because even a small fine would be that much.

If you can't afford that much for a track day I'm wondering if you're driving the right car ... performance cars cost money, pure and simple. A lot of people would spend $125 a week in fuel alone, just in normal driving. If you can't afford to put $30-$40 a week aside to use the car the way it's meant to be used, maybe you need to sell up and buy something more within your budget. Otherwise what's the point? You don't need 220 kW to do 110 km/h, and in city traffic all it's going to do is waste fuel.

I appreciate that you love cars but you need to appreciate your life circumstances. I've held off buying my dream car until now because I couldn't afford it. I really don't understand the point of a powerful car unless you're going to drive fast, and the only place to do that is the track.

    • Is the 650rpm idle on the rb25det neo for stock cars only? I've never had my car before and after tuning it to idle at 650rpm when cold. Always idle's cold around 1100rpm, and then drops to about 900-950rpm. I've heard the r33 gtst's idle there.

    • Hi all, I’m currently running a str pipe hi low hks exhaust and downpipe. Was wondering if I change out muffler to a titanium one will it change the sound of the exhaust? Plus I have always liked the look of the titanium pipes … anyone have recommendations to one?    side note already have titanium intake pipes. 
    • I looked up my other car that is a R33 GTST series 1.5. Anyone able to confirm what a Aero Form Bumper is?     (1G) 2 Door Coupe; (2GK + 11V) RB25DET; (4B) 2WD HICAS; (7F) 5 Speed Manual; (14G) Super Fine Hard Coat; (15U) Large Rear Spoiler + Aero Form Bumper + Rear Wiper (Aero Selection)
    • Ha ha, all good! I've almost caved in and realised I'm buying one.  I know myself well enough by now that I will start chasing ADHD butterflies half way through building it and not finish it so I'm better off spending the extra money buying one instead of making one just so I can get into straight away.  I would very much enjoy making one as fabrication is probably a strength and definitely a passion but I don't want that to be at the detriment to the car I'm ultimately building it for! There's some pretty good ones around for ~$1100 at the moment so I think I'll just go that way.  At the end I sell it or as mentioned, get another project to make further use of it! Thanks gents.
