Picked up the paper and the byline screamed, “Police seek white Skyline driver”.

OK a Skyline driver did something silly, but how often do we read, “Police seek naturally aspirated V6 Commodore driver”?

Never.

Something about the Skyline name conjures up images of fast/furious smoking tyres and in most of those cases it will be some dunger Commodore or a rusted-out S chassis.

The local rag must have mentioned “white Skyline” at least 4-times in the report while the main story of a “B” double car transporter roll-over read more like an ad for Claytons Towing.

I was surprised the usual "high powered turbo Nissan Skyline" wasn't quoted. Have to wonder if any of these scribblers have ever been for a drive in a stock Rb, it's not all that exhilarating.

Got to love integrity in journalism, oxymoron anyone??

Fact: NA V6 Commodores are the fastest ever man-made object. All people ever see is a blur, so they cannot be identified when involved in criminal activity. :P

I guess it's much the same as any article about a road incident involving a person under the age of 25 classifying them as a "hoon", or "boy racer" in NZ.

    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.   
    • Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.
