it is currently 1140pm on monday at the end of the long weekened easter

just seeing that overall 23 people were killed in road crashes this weekend (5 in NSW)

my prediction is that there will be a news thing tommorow say that there were only 5 people killed in NSW over the long weekend

then they will go on to say how their double demerit points and overemforcement has had a positive contribution to this fact (being on average lower than previouse years )

they will justify this by saying that there were"alot less speeding fines and outher traffic infringment notices issued"

what they will foret to mention is the fatct that 60% of the long weekend was encomapased by heavy rain thus makeing radar detection pretty much useless(thus the low nuber of infringments, radar doenst work in the rain), also the fact that police dont like to go out and use radar in the rain "cause they get wet"

drink drivinig will be on the lower side of the average because police once again dont like to get wet.

and finally the gold prediction which has been going one for years

the majoryity of fatal crashes occured on one lane two way rural roads................................ thus justifying the ever increasing instilation of speed cameras in the city (where *** all fatalities occur durring the long weekend)

blind as a prick so sorry about the spelling.

lol

and jo public will go on beliving this shit and putting up with it

Unfortunately this is true.

I watch in amazement as a HWY cop in an SS commodore pulled over a blue haired grandma in an early 90's 4 cyl. Camry (red. w/ venetian blinds) and write her a ticket for doing something very minor in a 50 school zone... maybe doing 60 or so... I was behind her.

This was on a school holiday in a double demerit point day. No kids. What is the point of this?

Obviously a habitual speeder...

License should consist of a defensive driving course. Changing lanes, hill starts, not clipping round-abouts and reverse parking teaches you jack when driving at higher speeds (ie. 110 compared to 60km/h). Most people stomp the brake pedal as though it's their worst enemies head.

I've been saying that education is the key since I have had my licence. But a bit of courtesy would go a long way also to reducing speeding, crazy manoeuvres, and essentially accidents.

A basic race driving course would also help, but it would need to be accompanied by the part that says this is the best way to drive... but push the limit and your gonna stuff up... even Michael Schumacher can stuff up on a road because of unpredictability.

I don't know if you guys are getting this one in the city, but theres a campaign going at the moment that goes something like:

80% of all accidents occur on bends.

I'll bet the genius that thought that up lives in the middle of the nullabour, 80% of the states roads would be a bend in one form or another:bs!:

I'm with you guys on the education front. Everyone needs to know the limit of their vehicle even if they never have to fully use it.

I'd say that ticket could be contested. School Zones specify "school days", not "weekdays". So if that day was a school holiday for the school it surrounds, I reckon she could get the ticket anulled.

Hey EDS33T , i saw one of those signs two weeks ago on the way out to my brothers in Mudgee.

Funny thing was the next morning at about 4.30 am when returning to Sydney almost lost control of the car when i swerved to miss a Roo, put the outside tyres onto the dirt. Imagine if the Roos parked their assses on bends,:)

Roy,

Roos are a problem in rural areas, I noticed two more fresh kills on the way to work this morning that happened in the last 24hrs..

The RTA recommends that you never swerve to miss an animal but if that were case I could rack up another three "at fault" claims to my driving history. Obviously if there were oncoming traffic you'd take out whatever wildlife was in front of you.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
