Did anyone see the Today/Tonight story on Hoons ?

Just goes to show all the f'wits that do this are not the import owners, but good o'l Aussie vehicle drivers.... 99% of the cars where commodores, I did not see 1 import driver involved!!... the 1% was that stereo van.

Why were there no import drivers you ask?... well because the majority of import drivers are sensible drivers and respect the vehicle they have!!! .. its the minority that f it for us.

I hope the police read this post and realise who the moron drivers are out there!, please stop picking on imports and go after the real losers out there ... eg the VL/VN?VR/VS Commodre drivers that ruin it for everyone and can't do anything but burnouts.

Why do I feel like im hitting my head against a wall though when I say all this.

End rant!

Rob.

Yeah i sat there glued to the TV while my dinner got cold thinking this is gonna be a HATE peice focused n imports when all i end up seeing is COMMONWHORES!

Firstly is does just show who the real instigators of the problems are and secondly thanx for lettin my dinner get cold you barstards :) hehe

But seriously it must make the police think twice when this kinda of act is fully documented and caught on camera SHOWING that clearly in that footage there was 99.99% commondores.

Common SAPOL do us a favour and do something about the real problem, take a leaf outta VIC's book (can't beleive i said that) and do something about the real people cause problems out there on our roads.

Not all Commodore owners are losers mate.I own a caliais turbo and am nothing like that and never will be.

These guys are normally young P plater wanna be BROCKY'S, but dont put all of us into that bracket.

There are people out there doing that sort of stuff in all sorts of cars NOT just commodores.What makes people drifting there IMPORTS through industrial back streets any better? Just as bad.

No disrespect intended.

Majority spoil it for the minority.. oh or is it the other way around lol :D

It comes down to the ol' VL to VS's are pretty damn cheap to the point where every P plater and their dog can own one. This is why you see so many flying around, Just drive down Anzac on a Friday/Saturday night.

My sister who's 16 just bought a yellow VL BT1 on gas thats done what looks like a genuine 200,000km's for $1800 from a bloke that came in to some money and wanted a new car.

The imports.. some can afford them even though they are also getting cheap but the problem is insurance. This is what I think puts a lot of young people off them.

Its not so much its this car or that car its what P platers can afford at the time.

I think with the case of the imports its the minority that spoil it for the majority + a lot of the older school people really don't like the 'jap crap' cars.

My old man is one of them ;)

Thats my thoughts anyhow.

Sounds like you need to give him a bit of a 'late model Jap crap' education then mate ;) Ask him if he'd like to use his other eye :)

hahah.. i'm sure he will come around once he takes it for a spin.

He keeps asking me.. When are you dropping the motor in.. I say.. when i can get in the shed. ;) Funny thing is he used to freak out at me leaving the shed messy when I lived there, now i've moved out it is worse than ever. 1 VL Shell + 1 VL that runs but has no front shocks + wood shavings every where.. lol.

Yeah, i agree.

VL's and the like can be had for next to nothing these days, so they're affordable

to P platers for sure.

Imports are also getting very affordable, but like you said, insurance is a problem for these guys.

I am looking at putting my 500hp running gear into an R32 with GTR kit and 19's.

See how we go, very tempting.

      Rb25det timing belt position on cam gear

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.

      Hiya!

      Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!

      Hiya!

      By Curlyfred · Posted

      Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!

      ENR34 - Inner Tie Rod is unique part! Replacement?

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Appreciate the insight! Talked to some local folks and they basically told me "it's not that deep." As long as the threading on the inside matches what's at the steering rack, everything else can be constructed-to-fit. There are full aftermarket kits I can use - probably better for my car overall since it's lowered.  Example: GKTech M14 Super Adjustable Inner Tie Rod Set - Nissan Skyline R32 R33 R33, 240SX, 300ZX, 350Z / Infiniti G35 M14I-TROD-2 gktM145-TROD gktM14I-TROD - Concept Z Performance (These can be packaged with their "high misalignment" tie rod ends).
