Now this information probably won't affect most of the people on this board, since milton is a hoon hangout for bogans in commodores and wankers and overriced pieces of crap on a thursday night.

However,

Occasionally I find myself at Milton just as a landmark for hooking up with other folks before moving on, in this particular case I was waiting for Firefrog to meet up so we could go for a couple hot laps up coot-tha.

Pulled into the servo and saw 4 bikes and 3 cars belonging to the boys in blue. Also saw an SAU sticker on a nice grey r33, so i waited around for the owner to show up so i could introduce myself.

The member in question was boosted33 and his mate with f**koffcrazyshit under the hood of his Astina.

We hung out, laughed at guys popping their BOVs right next to the cops, then doing not one, not two, but four laps past milton making noise and then laughed even more when the cops pulled them down a side street for 30 secs then cops came out and headed right, and car goes left.

Watched this happen 3 more times wondering wtf.

Firefrog turned up and not 2 minutes later, our suspicions were confirmed as a bike cop came up and said boosted33 and firefrog had to follow him to a Dept. of Transport defect station.

boosted got out before frog, and frog didn't get any defects (lol) so i'm hoping he's ok =)

So yeah, Milton these days is crawling with police using it as a honeypot to defect people. Advise to stay the hell away for a few months.

edit:

Also did a recon lap of coot-tha first at fairly decent speed, but didn't see anything, stopped at the top briefly then came around to do the proper lap. Had to wait in a parking bay at the bottom of the hill to wait for a 4wd to come out that we saw go up from the lookout, and next thing we see is a piece of crap corolla being chased by police and pulled over. Decided it was a good time to do my lap now (and wondered why they didn't ping me last time) and pulled off a decent time.

Coming down the hill the cops had pulled over the 4wd down near the planetarium.

Looks like Milton->Coot-tha is alllll evil on thursdays.

Yeah I was just filling up there after work. Waiting for my friend to fillup too, then bumped into einstein. No defects for my car, sorry I bailed on ya too Einstein, had to get up early the next morning. My lesson is learnt don't fill up at a BP on thursday nights after work.

that's cool, i'm glad you didn't get defected

as for timed runs on public road, shrug, it's a really nice road and hard to duplicate at professional tracks

it's not like i push things stupidly, it's just a fun back way up to the lookout more or less =)

yeah i went down to check out the action with the DOT in the adjacent Suncorp stadium bus station doing everyone that came near...

there were cops up to 1km away in surrounding streets telling people to turn into the DOT station for inspection...i cruised in the backway and avoided getting rounded up....parked and went for a look-see

we also went up to cootha and we were in the planiterium cp when the cop bikes rolled past...we got outathere quickly!!

pretty safe to say i wont be taking the skyrine out this thurs!!

Cheers

Francisco

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
