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?

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
