From what I have been told by a reliable source that plays in hwy patrol cars all day is that the dvd's are free. I also believe that all hwy patrol officers are wired up with a mic so it would record whatever they say along with the camera pointing out the front and rear windows at you.

Yea i got pulled over in my 34 on the way to canberra this week by a hwy and the first thing they do is tell you everything you say or do is being recorded. Was caught doing 122 when i should only be doing 100, copped it fair and square, mind you they were waiting right on the bottom of the big dip on hume hwy, saw the same cop with some others on the way back doing radar, gave em the thumbs up doing 98km/h on the way back, the looks on their faces...priceless

I had my gps set to warn me when exceeding 110km/h, every 30sec it was "ding ding ding ding" it's just an akward spot 110 so I ended up doing about 100-105 the whole way whilst watching other cars and trucks fly past like I was still.

Well yes that's what i'd normally do but the Hume Hwy is the worst place to speed. All the police cadets training in Goulborn along with all the cadets/officers travelling to/from Sydney for work along the Hwy isn't a good idea...

Yea guess i should have been more careful, mind you there was another car on the inside lane and we had a subaru outback with us driving infront, both were going faster than i was. at least he didn't tell me to pop the bonnet...

Years ago when I drove interstate for a living I used to use a dictafone to record when I was pulled over, often the police officer asked was I recording what he was say ,I always replied no Im recording what Im saying any background noise dosnt matter but dont yell and scream at me

yeah ive heard of someone doing that too, they spent some time locked up so everytime they got pulled over they got a really really hard time from the police, so he recorded all the conversations that he had with police and they tightened up their act when they realised they were being recorded.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
