Sometime it's best to stay in the car and act meek.
Ask if you can get out of the car and just have a chat - there's gonna be that 5% who are just not personable and well... you get that.
But I've been done bad (ie. 30 over) and the officer was polite, charming, even apologetic and you know what... they're people too.

So you chopped the Commodore?
Good one bruv
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:

Because that shit don't affect us
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.

Dark coloured 33 gts with rims, exhaust, gauges, the usual shit.
It happens. It shouldn't but idiots behind the wheel of high performance cars will drag each others, rotors, eights, sixes, fours.

Fark man...
If the principal of a company is willing to talk to you on his mobile, that means that the buck stops there and a problem is being sorted.
UAS is one of the good guys in Syd. and they deserve their reputation.

All these supplements are the same - they work to some degree.
In an avg. year (20,000km) I'd recommend ONE treatment.
I'm using one type right now, it's not a dramatic improvement, esp. if you car is in a good state of tune, but there is a difference.
T.
Just out of interest.
I just returned 360km/50 litres city cycle. Optimax.
24km every day... bit on the weekends. I hit it hard but never really over 6,000rpm.
T.
A catch can without a rebreather is a closed system. Why would it be illegal?
A certificate is what? $400? Hmmm... I find the fact that there are what? 40-50 engineers in this state to be quite strange.
T.
Hmmm... that's bad.
I had a 300zx sensor put in and it was a bit better.
I honestly think that you need to find a competant FC tuner and explain what you want to achieve.
I'm also thinking about going back to the stock ECU and seeing what happens.
T.
Gosh that's terrible. I get maybe 330km per 50 odd litres and I reckon that's poor.
I have the FC as well. Has yours been dyno tuned?
I wonder if I can ask the tuner to have a look at 'trailing throttle' settings to improve fuel economy.
T.
See this I don't get...
Big pump therefore more flow.
But the reg. should still provide the 'cork' to stop the flow.
So I'm guessing the performance aspect of a big pump and no other mods is that the increased flow makes the motor get more fuel, more quickly so the car feels more 'surgey', more responsive?
When the new pump went into my car it did feel more surgey, like more kick, response off the line.
But that could be just a flawed impression.
T.
Standard reg. and a Bosch 044 is no problem.
You need to get it dyno tuned.
I have an 044 + Apexi/Nismo reg. and I dyno'ed it a day after I had the pump put in. Fuel consumption is normal.
T.
Carl,
People also report a much nicer sound and more throttle response. Do you get this?
I love a car that leaps off the line and goes from 60-80-100 in a jump.
T.
The reports I'm getting about these chinese manifolds via anecdotes is that work better than you'd expect and they are stronger than what you've heard about SS manifolds.
Some grinding is needed to get them to fit but nothing a competant shop can't work out.
