to be honest, i think banning p platers from driving high performance vechiles will significantly cut down the problem. i am 18 and on my green p's. and i know that i am contradicting myself when i say that im looking to buy a import a bit further down the line, cause im all for the power restrictions. but im still getting a import, because, well, i can.

I think its very dodgy how people that can't even read or speak english are on our roads with lisences, that is also dangerous!

Maybe the government should arrange better availability for use of tracks, for people to go to rather than on the roads.

I am sorry to hear about the accident although I hate thinking the impression it gives us skyline drivers!

take it easy

Im all for power to weight restrictions Frankie

Because that shit don't affect us :P

I'm reminded of how things are different now that P platers have to wear them for 3 years and there's lots more paperwork and tests.

Even if there's education and all the restrictions in the world, kids will still crash high powered cars. You know that sick |

I don't think P/W restrictions is going to help.

A stock Falcon does 182kW, a Commodore now does 175/190kW.

The sad fact is that these things are endemic to our nature just as John Conner says in Terminator 2.

But you can still reach 160km/hr in a Corolla.

What happens when they start crashing cars like that when dragging on the M2/4/5?

it takes alot of bitumen to get to 160km/h though....

let them, motorways are far more safer to go high speeds on - weren't they built for just that?

maybe you should include people who can't spell either mate :P

Well ive just come back from the Northern beaches earlier this evening when i saw no less than 3 R33 GTS-T's speed off from traffic lights and one white R33 GTS-T series 2 with BC or DC as the first two letters of the plate racing a commodore along the main road in Mona Vale - If this is you, your a fawking idiot.

That was probably me... lol jkz

So you chopped the Commodore?

Good one bruv :P

Seriously, there are lotsa tools in Skylines.

One thing though... apparently this incident that sparked off this conversation was not a drag... just a cruise and they guy just hit boost and spun out at 70km/h.

I call some suspicion but it's not more believable than a 33 dragging a Honda Civic :confused:

"Government should make race tracks more available"

lol this is gold if you join 3 car clubs you could do a supersprint every weekend for 100 buck and actually learn to drive

my experience is that the people with really done up cars(looks and rice) come to one day find out there shit cant take it (cant understand why a 50 year old laps quicker in there mini) and never come back cause there not fast enough and not looking cool enough... lol

best one i ever saw was a mirage with all the rice...stick it into the wall on the first lap at Oran park(must have thought it was Brighton and tried to do 150 around a 90 corner)

People whinge about access to race track if all the p platers out there actually wanted to go to the track suddenly there would be more days due to demand

i must say there are diffrent people who attend drags and circuit day..

and in general that is a good thing ... the two dont mix and i must say i like it that way

im all for getting more younger drivers down to the track but realistically i like the fact they dont go there and "in general" the people who do are people i would assosiate with more

but i supose there are just as many up themselves people at circuit day as there are tool at the drags..

lol

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
