If it's a white GTR, which it appears to be from the pic, I see that car driving around my area all the time.

Good on them for setting a precedent - pity it cost them so much money though! :ouch:

Good on both of them.

Technology like hand held radar guns are used by police to not only make their job easier and safer, but so that the general community can be assured that the police are doing things in the right way instead of using the "experience and judgement".

Interesting to note that even after the officers in the sons case were proven wrong the magistrate still decided to rule in favour of the police and fine him.

Well, I have to confess that's Michael and I in the news and thats my M-spec, good work Adam.

I don't know if any of you listen to John Laws at 2UE I was on there earlier on today as well.

If you are really keen watch "a current affair " on 9 tonight . It should be on there as well but if they don't have it ready for tonight , tomorrow night .

I think If I ever meet you guys, I'll buy you a beer :D

Good stuff, and I'll tune in to watch tonight, or tomorrow, but you sure they wont turn the story around on you and say you guys are hoons involved with street racing and ram raids? :worship: hehe kidding :D

Cheers,

Chris

haha, I just put "R34 GTR" in the title of the thread for a laugh. I recognised your face long before I realised it was your car in there too. In black and white in the actual paper it just kind of looked like any other late model car at first glance.

I actually didn't expect to be the first one to post it so 10 points to me for being first to post and 10 to you two for getting out of the spiders web. Ok you can have 10 each.

Great work, good to see someone standing by what they believe in..

What GPS unit was in the car?

Ezitrak by Rojone, the best available unit on the market..

I may ad the car was a WRX STI , no longer in the family.

the funny thing is it certainly took them long enough to pick up the story! or perhaps it became that much more news worthy after micks case too? either way, I'm glad to see you get some credit and recognition for it finally. now maybe ask those knobs at ACA to chip in for your legal bills.... :worship:

My story was on ACA when I won the case about a year ago as well as to SMH.

Micks took a lot longer to conclude for various reasons.

"now maybe ask those knobs at ACA to chip in for your legal bills.... :D"

I can't comment on the above .

lol, fair enough :D sometimes I think out loud! I know I wouldn't be doing it for them for free after paying so much out of pocket.... I also wouldn't have had the balls to follow it through in the first place.

now that you remind me i do remember the ACA story at the time about your case.

Good work on this guys - like others have said, it's good to know that people are willing and able to stand up for what they believe in, and follow it through to the end.

I saw the article in today's paper, and was just finishing scanning the paper before I made a thread about it, but Adam's beat me to it!

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • 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.
