Last weekend i was driving from Sydney to Melbourne via Hume Highway. It was like 3am in the morning,a supra drove past me and slow down(i think he was waiting for me) and when i catch up,overtake him and he pull next to me and overtook me again. I was doing 120(i should be driving 90) and we keep overtaking each other for a few times,than i start to get annoying. So i put down a gear and drove past him. About 20 seconds later,a car behind me is flashing high beam,i thought f&%k man,not again..SO i just ignore it,less than 10 seconds later it start to flash blue and red lights,than i know is a cop.(Not the supra,there is a highway petrol hiding in the bush) I was doing 160 at the time,so they pull me over,took my license,gave me a paper that says i have to go to court. I dont blame anyone but when i think about it now i feel how stupid i was..

Today my gf drive my car,some how she lose control and bend the front right hand side wheel..Does anyone know where i can find some parts for that(i dont even know what i need) around Northern Beaches in Sydney..

been there done that..

prob lower control arms.. or hub assy.. you really need to have a look under... also check that your nothing is leaking.. if so it will either be your shocks or steering rack..

get it on a hoist so you know what u need.. ring round just jap, and places round moorebank.. bit of a trek but if u get the best price it will save u alot..

good luck

well unfortunately you will be getting nicely f**ked when you go to court. nothing you can do, you broke the law and got caught. some people would say that 160 in a 90 zone at 3am is a tad reckless and i'm sure the magistrate will be one of them.

160 in a 90 zone? That wat 70 k's over the speed limit? If you go over 45 or more over hte speed limit that a licence supension of minimum three months. But since u did more u might get more. Sorry to hear, but doode u shouldn't let another w@nk make u speed as much as u did. Would have been better to be annoyed or slowed down than lose ur licence for several months.

How did u get home that nite anyway...just out of curiosity.

160 i say dont worry about the car cause you wont have a license for a long time

No way man,i love my car..Im thinking of selling it,but never let it sit there with a damage..

Any way,ill let you guys know how long i will lose my license..hopefully no one will need that information.. :devil:

I also got pull over by the cops when i had my r33 on the Hume Highway but thats was about 4 years ago... and i was trying to catch up with this black supra... but i was doing a 100 but the cops pulled me over when i was at 70 and told me that i was speeding and they had me on camera about 3km ago doing 105 which is funny because i would have thought they would get the supra before me since i know that thing was doing atleast 140 and was way ahead of me... i wasn't going to go that fast....

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
