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

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • 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.
