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?

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:

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.

      Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
