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!

      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

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      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).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
