People also need to realise that just because you own a nice car does not make you a hoon i have seen plenty of people go flying past me in there family cars vans utes, little toyota hatches, steryo typical bullshit is all that it is but its a shame that it will never be changed, if you look at the crash statistics i be that less then 5% of all crashes involve imports and the majority are just bogan idiots in there POS cars speeding. The imports can handle a high speed thats what they are designed for (not saying this is what you should use them for) and they you get your regular joe in his Toyota echo doing 150k down the F3 with wheelbarorw tyres on the car what you think is gona happen. The general public needs to wake up to the fact that you dont need a import to be a hoon.

Does all "chapters" (qld,sa,wa, etc) have this Code of Conduct as well? Or is it just specific to the NSW club? If it is only specific to NSW would it be a good idea to have it implemented across the board?

Not sure about other "chapters" have it Jason, but we implemented it 1 month after 2010 AGM and about 3 months before the CAMS Secretary (Doreen) recommended it for all clubs.

At the base of the NSW Membership Form it reads...

* I undertake that holding Membership of SAU.NSW means that I must not bring "Skylines Australia" into disrepute.

* I pledge that whilst displaying SAU signage, I shall drive courteously on the state's roads as a true enthusiast should.

* I understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU.NSW and thus, treat other SAU members and sponsors accordingly.

^ ^ ^ Nothing too harsh - not meant to be legal-speak - but having this means we're a respectable outfit 'er club.

LOL the media coverage of this makes me laugh.

I am certainly not condoning this nor encouraging it but I wish to shed my opinion on this.

I used to travel this rd every day for work for two years. I had a 79 rolla daily (and the fully built 33 for fun). If you didnt have your foot firmly planted on the brakes the car would hit 110 quickly. Most commuters using that rd sit on about 110 and nothing for every third car to be doing 120 including nannas and cops. Its a steep hill and a wide main highway. So it would take about 2% throttle in a skyline to hit the speeds stated in the media coverage. If they were racing then you could another 100km/hr onto those speeds.

I think the blow out form this is well over stated just because of the car that they are. Cops could pull 100 people over in a 2 hr window every day for speeding no worries at all.

On a side note; I do love the do-gooders on forums that say things like, omg these ppl should be banned from breathing etc etc. We all know jump onto boost in say second or third gear in a skyline on a flat piece of road and you can add 50km/hr to your current speed in a matter of seconds let alone down a hill. And realistically who hasnt broken the speed limit in there skyline by giving it a bit. These guys were silly and put it on youtube and got caught.

Its just sad that sau had to be bought into the saga.

As i said not condoning just being a realist.

^^ this man for PM

x2! Everything he has said i agree with, especially being guilty of it (everyone) at some stage. I also think they now have much more to worry about than the opinion of stuck up forum goers and a ban with the impounding and fines/loss of license they are facing. Of course though, it does put sau in a shitty position with the possibility of the media negativity somehow moving across to the site, especially if more than a couple of the guys are members.

I love police-speak, they must go to some sentence structure language school in case they have to appear on TV. They throw in that many waffle words they have to think of what they're about to say, makes it disjointed and formal beyond their education level.......allegedly!

lol... I count no less than 8 Commodores in the inpound yard.

Where are the stories of the Commo "hoons"?

Pretty boring story to see a RWD aussie car straddling a speed bump spinning up the rears in a quiet residential street I guess

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
