They also had photo's and a witness. So not just a phone call fortunately. Nothing can be done from just a phone call, evidence is still required. And the driver was a well known drifter in town so it's not like he was just showing off for mates.

New PB on street tyres today 11.489 & 124.55mph. Gave the old girl a new look.

Came 2nd to Sean Baney in super street final by .067 sec.

Chinese street tyres rule!!! Cheap, good smoke & hard wearing!!! "Clear" FTW

It took nearly ten years to get the drag track, getting anything else in the near future is highly unlikely.

Best to make use of what we have - speedway, rallycross, drags, offroad racing, go karts, rc cars, 4WD tracks, motorbikes etc

... or buy a trailer and be prepared to travel to Darwin or interstate to get your motorsport fix.

They can't take cars just from complaints as if that were the case a lot more cars would be taken off the road because of peoples "grudges" or "dislike" for certain people. They will need some sort of proof to back up the complaints. Photo's taken by residents or catching you in the act. If your only driving around casually it won't affect you anyway.

Who's going test and tune? Cash money up for grabs and it's the second last meet for the season. Hoping to make it out there myself. Numbers are important in both people racing and volunteers. So if you haven't got anything planned for the 12th which is a Saturday from 1pm onwards come out and have a couple runs or help out the officials.

hey welcome not many of our cars r on the road right now mines getting bearings and shit put in carmelo blew his motor up but cum buy my mates work shop 2/71 smith street cgs performance works thats were every one on this forum goes to and hangs out if u need any work dun his the man to see wen it cums to imports

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
