Have noticed probably over the past month the increase in police patrolling the Monash freeway in general espec between the Warrigal - Jacksons road area..

For any that do travel near Jacksons road be careful speed slows to 80 just before the off ramp and the police have been know to sit in this area to catch the ones over 80...

Good, Im sick of f**kwits sitting on my arse as I enter the eastlink site off the fwy from the left hand lane.

It's slowed to 80 for the safety of the fellas working not much further than 1m from the concrete barriers, and for the fact that trucks and light vehicles enter the site off the fwy, including my self as I said.

Was going to post last night. I drove down the freeway last night through the Burnley Tunnel from Dandenong. The drive was perfect. Not one tailgater and large gaps left. Honestly I have never seen driving like this over here. Something must have hit home yesterday. Keep it up Melburnians. >_<

Great!

I use the monash every morning and night and having just 1 cop car parked on the side of the freeway will make everyone do 20km under the speed limit if you can even get close to 100km/h during peak times and just slam on their brakes for no reason.

If the governement want to do something constructive for the monash freeway they need to do some roadworks so its not a 'carpark' every morning and night!!

Only thing i do find amusing was in the Herald sun yesterday there was an article informing the public that the police are out to stop bullying on the Monash. Referring to tailgaters and speeders etc... They showed a pic of 3 Police motor bikes spread over 3 lanes and the highway patrol car behind them... Holding up a stack of traffic... personally i think it's a great idea but blocking the freeway for a pic showing them bullying the public and blocking the road was not such a wise idea...

They actually stopped on the freeway or were they just going slow?

just got home from work and there was a marked car that had pulled over a camry just after warrigal rd, and few kms up the road before blackburn an unmarked dark blue commodore writing a ticket for another car..

although its not the monash...and I saw the article also...I was driving on the eastern to the city today and say 2 un-marked cars and one marked one...one the way back 2night I saw 2 marked ones...seems to be heaps about.

on another note I have an office in Broadmeadows and cops setup a vehicle check around there...good to see no Skylines were one the side...I drove past and they didn't even pull me over - I was pretty worried as who knows what they could defect me for :unsure:

i loath the monash, every day at 8 and every night at 5:30 i sit there and watch the $$$ fly out the window as my car sips away at my bank balance.

on the police issue, iv seen a poice car every morninig without fail but when im on there, there isnt really any way u can speed beacuse of the bogdown of traffic. i just wish that he would have been near when that truck driver almost ran up my tail because he wasnt looking and had to stand on the brakes at the last minute as i jumped 4ward as much as i could, and then he spat the dummy at me and started tailgateing me, even when i went to turn off he followed me into the turning lane but didnt go onto the offrmap, what a mega tool

Seven people have died on the Monash Freeway since 1 January 2000.

it starts and stops there.. seven people is an absolutely miniscule amount compared to the amount of drivers that travel along that road each day :banana:

i drive from beaconsfield end to police rd and back every day, 6 days a week and i still havnt once seen a cop. where are they?? so coulda used 1 today to get the como driver off my arse. couldnt even see his bonnet and i was in the left lane on the limit!

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
