For those that watched today tonight, tonight (24-1-12).

What a bloody joke. cops RTA EPA set up A RBT to catch moded cars, and rome thestreets to catch said cars.

Fair enough if your car is not legal, but the way today tonight promoted thestory was along the lines of these words. 'these so called car enthusiasts withtheir moded cars........... I cant rember the rest and nothing is up on YouTubeyet.

Sorry for being so vague but didn’t get to catch the whole story. Anyone elsesee it.

They got nothing better to put on their show mate

Yes they are F%ck wits

Yes they will blow even the smallest argument out of proportion

and yes this is why anyone with half a brain doesnt watch this crap

Edited by GTR_JOEY

I actually start to feel my IQ lowering when I am forced to watch these shows

Yea "forced" lol

seriously these shows are for old people who really have nothing better to do then have a whinge...

sounds like my Mrs grandparents :rofl2:

exactly, or a good laugh. some of the stories are that far beyond "OMG stupid" that they can only be a joke. just dont pay any real attention to either of these (or most comercial TV news for that matter) and you will be a happier person for it...and as mentioned above, prob save a few brain cells in the proccess......and they say drugs are bad for you.....

Same in the ACT. Local authorities have been TOLD to target HPI looking vehicles. Stats are down so they've been told the quotas.

Been going through the Carparks again targetting HPI looking cars. Same with the cops on the radars and breathalysers.

Both myself and my housemate have been done in the last week. R33 and R34.

At least they can do is say its not a rbt i pulled u over coz u drive a skyline..

Today at caroline springs i saw a cop in his marked car full on look at me and i looked back lol in my r33 with green ps i was like f**k im gonna get pulled over and i didn't :)

this has been all over the car forums today and it was heartening to know people are paying attention and ready to defend themselves, the problem is as stupid as the show is it does influence a huge cross section of the population and when they slant stories in a certain light it puts more pressure on authorities to make life harder for the average car enthusiast. ie biased articles (telegraph is guilty of it too) force the cops to act and come down hard on the more innocent majority of performance car drivers.

was thinking though, i wonder how many of the reporters/staffers cars would pass a strict defect station? Anyone up for heading to the respective offices of ACA and today tonight and doing a comparo to see who fares better?

nothing new they have been cracking down on cars like this for years, operation name changes thats all

i ended up in one of those bloody random inspection bays and thats going back 6 years now , same ol crap

And 30 years ago it was guys in HQ holdens, XA falcons, Toranas and RX3's getting the same biased treatment. There just werent as many internet forums in those days to spread the news.

I was targeted for driving a modified 180B in the late 80's - at the time I thought it was police harrassment. Now I realise it's because I drove like a dickhead.

180B those things are collectors piece now days , rotaries have always had it tuff i remember they use to be out cruising around these days the only place i really see them is at the creek so i guess things have changed

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
