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 :(

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
