From another forum:

Well I dont know where... but the story (if true) was that the cop car had just over taken the semi and just pulled back in when they noticed an emu standing on the road, so the coppers braked to a stand still and the truckie had no where to go

you mate. are truely a f**k head.

I agree

^^^then wats up with the snow? ( excuse my stupidity)

The snow is in fact foam from the fire extinquishers that the QFRS would have used.

Lucky to survive if they did

Isnt the law to not stop for animals on the road anyway?

I hope all the people were ok. Cops might have been. They would have coped (pardon the pun) across a fair bit of surface area (their backs) would have been much like 'tower of terror' or something.

The truck driver, I dunno, the truck looks pretty bad.

The Emu, I dont care, they are nasty, ugly, pointless birds, and there are heaps of them.

yeah, law is to pwn any animals in your direct path.. but i think its safer to swerve / stop for an emu.. its likely to infilct a fair bit of damage to the car too.. problem is when u compare law to morals..

Snow....... It's foam, the fire dept use foam instead of water for these types of fires, can you see a fuel tank, no niether can I so I am assuming the fuel went everywhere, lucky it did not ignite if you ask me.......

Cops have freinds and family too, and nobody deserves to lose a loved one.

OK lets shead some truth on the story. Cop car was hit while stationary on the side of the road. Both officers were out of the car. Only the truckie was taken to hospital with non life threatening injurys. Got to love a good story though :wave: Emus :thumbsup:

Police estimate the truck hit the car at about 80kmhr. Police officers sh#t themselves in .5 second when they turned around and saw that! Have a number of friends in the QLD force and they all agree very lucky boys! Forgot to ask them where it was.

Cheers

Even though the truth has now been told. Personally, I would go for the emu over the truck. My ever so basic knowledge of pyhcis tells me, the truck has a f'load more inertia than the emu.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
