I've yet to attand a shenanigans night, but I'm guessing that we don't stand 2 metres from vehicle when its doing continuous 360's... Or do you guys? :)

No but that does raise a good point...

The story was basically laying blame solely at the feet of the drivers for creating a dangerous situation.... I wouldnt have minded some more blame shifted to the crowd who stood so close. I mean in the few times I've been to computer rd / magnesium drive to watch the show, we've always stood on the footpath behind parked cars.... I'd rather the car got a ding then I got squished.

I mean even when the guy was so close to hitting people in the scrotar they had to jump out of the way, as soon as his arse end flicked away from them they all moved in closer again. wtf?

Anyway.

Hrmm... you make a valid point krawler, however I have seen some drivers (much to my dismay line drivers) being a real dick thinking "Oh there is a group of people on the side of the road I'll just do a hand breaky into them, I'll look real cool.. my car wil lstop in time, no worries.." :)

Send in the Army and barricade them in and charge them under new anti-terrorist laws.

Seriously though, wouldn't it be nice of them to establish skidpan parks with low barricades in industrial areas so users could work on their driving skills at their own risk. They spend millions on football fields where many injuries occur, some life threatening (I'm a level 1 Rugby Union referee so see it first hand) and the upkeep would be minimal. Maybe regular attendance by police to provide a presence and opportunity to be engaged by the community, as well as provide comment and feedback to drivers.

In a nation that worships Bathurst, it is un-Australian to expect people to not enjoy their cars and the odd Doughy. Just make it socially acceptable to do it in the right place.

I will pay that Geoff thats a dam good idea!!!!

Give people a time & a place & it will work as the old saying gose

"Build It & They Will Come",

but the only prob there too is people r going to see that it is a way to make money & make ppl pay 4 the act of watching or doing the skids so it starts all over again, most people don't want to pay just to watch others chuck skids or pay too do the skids so yeah catch 22 :Oops:

Amen to that.

I was actually having a looksie at some of the highways heading west... They've put in new highways off to the side, in some cases bypassing a corner or similiar which means there are several lanes worth of bitumen not being used for anything more hardc0re than stopping grass from growing (temporarily)....

I wonder how feasible(sp?) it would be to put the same concrete barriers they use for Indy around and let the hoons do stupid things there? Obviously thanks to public liability etc they couldnt actively condone it, but maybe just stack some barriers and simply not watch it. Or something. I dunno. You can understand them not wanting to build a facility (lots of $$$'s for a minority group who wont win any seats), but why not let us destroy what isnt needed or even being used?

Feh, I guess the last two paragraphs are a very simplistic and naive approach to the matter, but hey :)

Its all owned by the GovCo, and rented / leased to the airport corporation (private company) on a certain number of years contract.

It makes it hard for any upgrades cause its like trying to convince a land son of rajab to let you do it :D Although I seem to recall the contract is like 25 years or something stupid.

i just wanna say yes everyone goes out and does stupid shit the only reason we don't get caught is because we don't go to the same spot i think it was 4 or 6 weeks in a row thats just a sure way to **** yourself..... you can do a skid in the middle of the city and not get caught but do it in the middle of the city on the same corner or road everynight you will get caught...

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.

      Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      Haha, the big brain move is to buy a second set of headlights to clean up or retrofit. I definitely don't have one sitting in a cupboard that hasn't been touched since it arrived. Just have to ignore the intrusive thoughts that suggest the second set is not quite as good as it could be and to buy a third set that the job would definitely get done with

      Nah I'm talking about the GTS-t with 15" wheels and single piston brakes.  I've seen them pop up occasionally over the years. You can see it in the brochures. Most were early models (aka Series 1).
