I may or may not be out.

I agree totally guys. It gets to the point where you just think "i'm getting pulled over and abused by the general public for doing nothing, why not make it worth it???" I hate the thought of putting anyone in danger when I drive but to be honest my mum has had a thousand accidents in her stock as a rock commodore and I havent had one in my super dangerous HPI...

An interesting point to note is that on "Australia's Worst Driver" the reality show and infact on all the "worst driver" shows from around the world, there has never been a HPI owner. The drivers are usually clueless middle age people in stocker day to day cars! I think you cause more of a problem if you sit in the left lane of the highway doing 20 kmph under the speed limit than if your in the right lane doing 20kmph over!

I'm sure we all have a rant to rant on this topic but I think my 2 cents is in.

i'm out this friday. am up for hitting the town after aswell.

i watched the same story last night, and almost started a thread about it. i'm very tempted to ask a news crew and a reporter from work to come on the next cruise with us and do a story about us, the young car enthuisasts (yes, this includes you richard!!!!), not the HPI Hoons.

hhhmmmm......sounds like a good name for a DVD!

can someone post soonish what the rough plan is eg what time u are out at the museum i will stop in if its around the time i have to go into work ****ING tape silo decided to shit itself and i cant fix it during business hours :(///////////////////////////////////////////// so i am going in at like 7:30 - 8:30

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
