no its not valid excuse as u would still be breaking the law. if the car in front of you is going a little slow, then bad luck. if they're going well below the speed limit, then u shouldn't have an issue overtaking them doing the speed limit

Yeah well that's what you're meant to do..... according to the law.

It's probably the situation that more motorists speed than any other due to the inherent danger of being on the wrong side of the road, which is much greater than speeding. I for one will speed as much as I have to to get around a slower car - no matter how slow/fast they are - as quickly as possible. The less time you're on the wrong side of the road the better. Long distance trips are so much longer if you stay behind a slightly slower vehicle too. 10 kph may not sound like much but drive for 10 hours & you've got an extra hour still to drive. Also brings up the issue of driving fatigue, the longer you're on the road, the more dangerous you become. All issues that the law never considers

Totally agree with ya Jared, been doing daily trips to Cape Jervis from my place in Golden Grove (about 140odd k's one way) and I have to say that those 10k's/h make a shit load of difference and when I overtake other cars I sure as shit don't sit in the other lane for any longer than I have to

lol

so all those times I overtook cars on my bike at 260kmph were ok?

lol I highly doubt it.

at the end of the day tho you have the right to have your say in court (if charged with an offense), say what youve got to say to defend your actions but at the end of the day we are all rqd to be accountable for our actions.

tangles, i think maybe 20km/h over the limit is negligable when overtaking a piece of shit dump bucket car.... 130km/h over speedlimit, HAHA different story, i dont think u were overtaking him cause u had to, i think u approached him at 200km/h and said "f*kit" wAAAAAAAAAAAA!

i have one simple question to the lampooners among you..

You that are the first to drill the moron need to ask yourselves,,.." have you ever been 200 kph in your car?" and since i know the answer is yes ask yourself this one..." was it in an 80 zone?" dont bother answering. It doesnt frickin matter...200 is still way over the limit.

Hypocrites...too many hypocrites.

only advice..dont get caught.

The only advice is don't do it.

You wonder why cops nab us with mods and treat us unfairly. Take alook at yourselves and grow up ffs.

cars don't kill people, people kill cars.

even better : high performance cars dont kill people, low performance drivers do.

i bet you everyone here is not capable of driving their cars to the limit. Every single person on here would be an under performing driver. You get in your car with a real driver that races and you will see just how mediocre you all are.

That goes for myself as well by the way.

speak for yourself buddy. Just because you claim to be an under performing driver does'nt mean i am too. I not saying i cant drive a car to ITS limits but i know MY limit and i do race and have had professional training. Id gladly run rings around you for being so conceited. Just so you know, a machine is only as good as its driver or didnt they teach you that when you took your driving/racing school for dummies course??

driving at that speed is stupid on public roads! it doesn't matter if you're a shit driver or a good driver! traveling at 200 kph is more than double 80kph so that minuses more than half the time to react and the distance to do something about it! which would increase the percentage of having an accident by half! speed limits are put in for a reason e.g. the 50kph in suburban areas! it's your choice if you want to speed but I'm not gonna drive around like a nut and make the risk percentage go up! there's a time and place for driving fast and it's where performance cars were made for, the track!

took the words right out of my mouth..

by the way, what kind of car do you drive NOS man?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
