hope it wasn't a skyline or import looks like he/she ain't gunna have a license for a while. oops here is the goss

THERE were more than a few grand prix wannabes left shame-faced after a police speeding blitz netted several lead foots at the weekend.

Among the worst offenders was a P-plater in Sunshine clocked at 128km/h in a 60km/h zone on Saturday night.

He then turned his V8 VS Commodore on to the Western Ring Rd, where he allegedly wound it out to 210km/h before the constabulary caught up with him to remind him he was not on the Albert Park circuit.

His licence was suspended on the spot.

Just minutes earlier police had pulled over another Sunshine driver clocked doing 120km/h in a 60km/h zone.

Police spokesman Sen-Constable Craig Sharkey said the culprit claimed he had suffered a flat tyre and was making up for lost time.

Earlier in the week another speed demon was nabbed doing 180km/h on the highway at Wangaratta, explaining to police he was a motor sport fan on his way to the Melbourne Grand Prix.

He then turned his V8 VS Commodore

So they're giving free publicity to Holden there. Bullshit publicity and preaching to the masses through the newspapers!

hmmm, well they got caught - but how many p platers really doing 150km+ ever get caught? seems rather silly actually. Or what about cops speeding off duty in their bloody commondoor V8's and just flash their badge and get off doing exactly the same thing?

remember i got 'supposedly' done for 100 in a 60... at 3.30am...

stoppid cops... i'll get out of it!

But 210 ? And they CAUGHT upto him ?

How fast (and in what car) were the coppers driving??

Obviously not a camry LOL

Well cops are allowed to speed to catch people as long as its safe.. however it really makes you wonder whether their training is going to 'cause a bad accident in pursuit. Imagine the outcry then.

hey..camry's will do 180. How do i know that - i just do :P

If they go through a speed camera they have to pay the fine and suffer demerit points and loss of licence unless they can prove they were on a call/job... even when on duty!

well i saw 2 examples of cops speeding without lights or sirens down south road, 60km/hr zone, at least 100. 1 was a wagon, the other was just a crappy commodore. Bout 3 hrs apart, so weren't straight after each other. Really made me angry. :)

mmm... i followed a cop on motorbike down the city Link form Tulla on thurs last week.

he was doing over 110 the whole way... so i thought i can if he can... i did 110 and he still was getting away.

no sirens... just crusing along.

That's what i hate the most.

How can the expect to pull people over/have them obey laws... when those who are enforcing them don't even do it themselves.

Disgraceful

lol that vs ss commo was my mates brother

yep his got a court case on his hands soon

hahah

the dick head was goin down fitsgerald rd hammering then onto the ring road.....

aparently he was trying to catch up to his mate in a VL turbo that was somewhere down the princess freeway... the stupid shouldnt of stopped if that was me. iw oudl have been siting on 220 all the way to my drive way and in my garage ...

    • 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! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
