Right now on ACA. Check it out.

funny how they use the typical crazy carlo drift from a few years ago they just do it to rev the cops up so they pick on people with nice cars. i feel like slapping that woman across the head.

Calais Turbo members don't carry on like f**king idiots.

It doesn't matter what car you have, if you drive like a f**kwit you deserve to be charged and have both your car and licence taken away from you. It is this very small minority of car hoons that f**k it up for the true car enthusiast. I am sure there will be an operation or crack down in Victoria sometime soon because of this.

It looked like a black heap of shit s13.

Their was a segment on ACA or Today Tonight about hoons a while ago, and its funny because the video was of a touge battle in Japan. Media make up so much bullshit, for once they actually sourced a video of a hoon acting like a dickhead, but then again had to add on some footage that is so old e.g crazy carlo drifting (they forget to add he did it on a closed road). They just do these segments because they want no one driving performance cars, and are trying to get performance cars being linked to hoons when its only a small minority. Why not make a segment about the true car enthusiasts with a r34 gtr N1 or vspecII for example, simply because the majority of the population will not give a shit, but the majority of population does give a shit wen they see hoons drifting, hence why the media publisises that.

Amazing how the few spoil it for the rest of us, and the whole public perception.

Although they really do need to get some new footage, the Crazy Carlos is getting old. HEY ACA THAT'S ONE GUY, GUESS HOW MANY REAL ENTHUSIASTS (eg. not idiots) THERE ARE OUT HERE. COME AND ASK US.

Almost guaranteed that someone from Nine will be reading this to see what response it has caused.

Again people, we want to try and set a precedent as a club and as enthusiasts by being mature. If this means turning the cheek sometimes, so be it; I know there are times this is hard to do, but as true enthusiasts, all we can try and do is educate people about the reality of our situation, which is that we love our cars and we spend the money on them with passion, and that (and I hope this is true of all members) we behave in a safe and legal manner on the roads.

You set an example with your actions... It's just unfortunate we're not given a public voice to say that.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
