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

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
