I just saw another episode in the SAGA on Hoons. Once again modified cars were blamed for rowdy plebs who aggrevate Police. This particular instance showed a bunch of idiots from Sydney abusing police, grannted some of them owned imports and other assorted modified cars, but I don't see how this can be blamed for all the things that these guys do wrong. ACA even went as far as saying two guys were shot dead as a result of "Hoons."

They interviewed a Senior Police official in NSW and he said the best way to stop these guys acting the way they do is to take their modified cars away from them!

Now I'm no expert in criminal behaviour or psychology but I definatley know that taking a car off a person will not stop them from abusing police, acting violently towards others and even killing other people. I'd say this kind of behaviour had developed and occured long before any of these people even held a drivers license!

But once again innocent car enthusiasts cop the blame.

Strange isnt it, you can get done for DUI, or in excess of 0.05, and what happens? but if you dare do a burnout, TAKE THE CAR.

When will they learn, its the peanut behind the wheel that does the damage, not the car.

Hey I know, if someone goes and discharges a firearm in a built up area - we shoud just take the gun off them for a couple of days! I'm bloody brilliant, lets get the pollies to pass a new law!

Tonights episode was pretty bloody transparent, I hope the majority of people who watched noticed it too - then again, maybe I misjudge the public at large????

Police are not educated.

That's not true. Police in Australia have no power. It's the same stories with teachers, teachers can't do shit and the kids know it. So they act up, then they get to 'real' life the continue doing it knowing they can get away with whatver they want.

There is no point arguing this. It happens everytime stupid shows like ACA and Today Tonight air their crap. no good comes of it, you just get a heap of heated arguements.

Of course you could write into ACA, but they won't acknowledge you, cause you are a hoon, and might go shoot them, cause all hoons are killers.

classic line from that report...."its a random lebo check"

what a bunch of dumbasses! negative stereotypes is what kills it for the rest of us. those who aggrevate the police only make it worse for everyone else. The police are there for a reason....and that reason is there are too many wankers on the roads. If you are caught on the roads by the poilce for doing something dodgey, then you are not being victamised. end of story. just dont stuff it up for everyone else!

Totally agree there eXc.

The only option is a semi fascist govt. ppl dont know whats good for em anyway.

Cam: would be nice, yeh we do have alot of people but how many of them actually turn up and get heard? around 1-2% id say. The recent rally aust thing shows this, we should have had 10 times the amount of people there.

Is it me or are imports and the whole car scene gaining popularity these days? fast and furious and all that, sure we had american graffitti and all that kind a stuff but it was never as glamourous.

Some of the older fellas might shed some light on this.

Could be that hy po cars are too cheap and people are too bored due to being told what they can and cant do all the time.

I believe that hypo cars were always out there, and i believe this was always the case, there will always be ppl that wanna burnouts/drifts/watever.. its human nature..

However in terms of ACA and TT it seems that hy po cars are the flavour of the month, the sad thing is i believe the general public is largely uneducated and will continue watching these stories and believe everything they hear.

I mean looking at their stories what has hair removal products and other household cleaning products really have to do with news..

Its the same reason why tabloids and womans weekly is so popular. The public in general has a extremely malliable mind and we are becoming more and more like American example. Believing what we see and instead of making educated decisions follow like sheep and creating a society of Fear to sell products or have the select few enforce their views.. (hrm sounds similar to a dictatorship doesn't it)

Maybe some of these people should start watching SBS news and really realise there's a world out there and there's more to life than "is your toothbrush really going to give u cancer", but of course they wanna find out why all these crazy hooligans must own modified import cars, and that its impossible for professionals and other enthusiasts to have the same interest..

I think the problem is that people ar NOT paying attention to TV as much as they did in days gone by. Therefore they only see what is in front of them and what directly affects them. So some guy telling you that salinity is a problem aust wide or that we are running out of water is now seen as standard run of the mill sensationalism and nobody pays attention till they cant get food or water all of a sudden.

Sure the older generations still watch that crap and so too the uneducated types but id like to think that we are steering away from the bad old days. I heard a speaker the other day talking about the X Generation and he mentioned that we were very wary of "phonies" i believe that is true. Most people know if someone is trying to make them swallow something they dont want to.

Sure hypo cars have always been around but they were never this fast, reliable and cheap.

Here is some of their upcoming story titles:

"MODIFIED CAR OWNERS CAUSE CANCER"

"BOXING DAY TSUNAMI CAUSED BY HOONS"

"HOONS ASSASSINATED J.F.K"

They really piss me off, in a way it should be boycotted but you can't really because this whole effect will rub off on us. Numbnuts Ray Martin didn't help at the end either, shaking his head "makes you think dosen't it".

They will continue to mislead the public until they actually decide to go on a meet with someone to see what it's really like.

Every burnout is doing damage to the environment and causes the death of thousands of dolphins annually.

The only way to stop them is take the cars off them.

But if you drink drive, expect to keep your car cos it aint that bad really now is it, at least you didnt do a burnout. Poor dolphins.

Man I am tired :D

Damn, your right!!!!!!!!!

I didn't even realise that properly, people caught drink driving get ***k all, a few hours lock up & then that's it, back to their car & they are off home (possibly still pissed), so they are without their car for a few hours.

Somebody accidentally loses traction going around the corner, and all of a sudden your car is confiscated & you are a menace to society that must be made an example of.

Fricken double standards.

Too right! The more you look into laws and compare the sentences, the more you will realise how wrong they have prioritised.

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
