POLICE plan a $750,000 blitz on speeding on the Pacific Highway after a weekend in which motorcyclists turned it into a ``race track''.

In one instance police had to give up pursuit of three bike riders after they hit speeds of 250km/h.

Brisbane Water highway patrol sergeant Gary Carr said police recently obtained $750,000 to fund round-the-clock patrolling of the highway between Mooney Mooney and Kariong during busy periods.

How come the paper was talking to Brisbane water police about a NSW Highway :laugh:

Brisbane Water is both Gosford & Woy Woy on the Central Coast, Command Centre for the F3 Highway Patrol. I've seen many cops around Mount White on weekends (especially early Sunday mornings for some reason) targeting bikes both ways where the road divides near mount white.

A group of guys (known as Midnight Run Club I think - drive VERY FAST!!! midnight runs on the old pac during weeknights) recently were targeted with an operation at the bottom of Mooney Mooney. Multiple cops and camera's - People lost licences & cars were impounded. They stopped when police were regularly there.

Just make sure you make a recon run first! Plenty of other great roads in the Peats Ridge and Mangrove Mountain areas anyway.

You speed on that road...you will get caught. It's only a matter of time... but looks like sooner rather than later with this operation.

The speed limit on that road is not overly slow either for the corners that are there.. plenty fast enough to still enjoy the drive!

even if u are going the speed limit down that road if u are driving something interesting good luck not getting pulled over and lectured at the least.

Overly is still too slow though sometimes though; even seen yourself "try" to keep up with a s2 R33 & HSV Ute on that exact stretch of roads not exactly keeping to any speed limit.

RECON FIRST!

copy that 10-4 :D

well, if the old road gets too much of a hassle - ill just use galston gorge - 2mins from my front door :P

Love the three lane hill climb from Brooklyn to Cowan - Fast sweeping corners, plenty of room, most corners are on camber so easy to control slides - should just spend evenings timing runs up and down - Posting best times behind one of the road signs. Cops aren't targeting it either.

Whens the East Coast Targa this year, are they still closing it off for racing?

burnsie - round the clock....to me means 24/7 :P

gun metal - apparently the dutton rally is meant to be doing it in november - december this year

and that hill climb rocks.... :D

Oh the ironing!

Everyone knows that this stretch of road has been heavily patrolled at different times for many many years, and those that still choose to enjoy a spirited drive in that area do so at their own risk.

Scathing, I guess the Police think its time to crack down on those people that over estimate their abilities and push themselves and their cars just that little bit too far.

Considering the massive number of serious and fatal accidents on that road, the majority of which involve either a performance car or a motorcycle, I am not surprised that Police are stepping up their efforts to try and do something about it.

hahaha mooney mooney - you might know some people I know :P hahaha (went to my school)

burnsie - read it again :(

"obtained $750,000 to fund round-the-clock patrolling of the highway between Mooney Mooney and Kariong during busy periods.

This may involve speed traps set up permanently over weekends."

round the clock :(

im still not going to risk it mate - you can :D

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
