Once again its the 'Nissan Turbo'.

What bout the story with Ian Luff i think his name was, with the 32 GTR with '500 KW of power'. Looked like a very mildly worked example to me.

"all P plate drivers are hoons'

bah

so you can't do anything stupid, its only stupid if you get caught? Which means driving at 140 through a school zone sideways isn't stupid?

But it is if you get caught?

hmmm lol

in vic it's 25k's over and you lose your license for a month! 20 over in a 110 zone (or maybe 100+ zone - not sure) and you lose it.

my boss lost his license for a year for doing 100 in a 60 zone in his brand new M3

A guy was "lapping" and dragging as all the P-platers seem to do here in Hobart on Wednesday, and (I'm guessing) was doing the "royal flyby" in his T-18 shitbox, in the centre of town, in a 50 zone, over 100kmh, down the wrong lane and directly through a red light and into a 50 year old blokes car going through the green. The old bloke was killed. The 2 p-platers were still alive last I heard. I hope they get bent over by the cops on this, if they live.

Could have been the same thing with this farkstick.

cheers,

You should have seen the Ten news report.

He stated that the inexperienced 18 y.o. was driving a deadly turbo powered Nissan "missile" similar to one shown here...

Man, I just broke up laughing...

He was doin 175 cause he knows he can...

Yeah... He's on his P plates and been driving for 2-3 years...

He knows EXACTLY what he can and can't do behind a wheel... Hell, with all that experience, we should licence him to drive 250km/h in 60 zones :(uh.gif

"He was doin 175 cause he knows he can..."

Gimme a break!!! slap.gif

His P plates indicate he's "Pathetic".

I don't agree that speed limits should vary from driver to driver. I like the idea that the law should be applied fairly and equally. It's not the speed that your worried about, it's the braking your worried about. There's a massive difference braking between 100km/h to 0km/h in a 200SX and 60km/h to 0 km/h in a normal Falcon/Commodore. My money is on the Falcon/commodore to stop on time.

We own a shop out in Minto and Airds Rd is right behind us. It's an industral area and there are illegal drag races there.

i got done last night for speeding for the first time in the 2 years i had my licence, i was delivering pizzas in my shitter and trhey got me 85km/h in a 60 zone, no p plates, they didnt notice but both front tyres are down to the radial and the windscreen is cracked badly...

they let me off with a tickt for $127 being uder 15km/h over the limit... who says cops are all bad?

the other day my mate in his drift180sx got pulled over doing 87km/h in a 50 zone and they did him for 15 over... maybe i have a good area but i am impressed with police lately.

I know you'll take immediate offence at this post, but don't. Read it twice before you reply please.

So you're "impressed" with the Police because they let you off for breaking the law? You do realise that braking is a function of traction don't you? If you have metal wheels (if you're on your steel belts), you're not going to stop ANYWHERE near as fast as if you had brand new slicks on (extremes to illustrate the point).

So really, in all fairness, your car is quite dangerous with those tyres on there, agreed? Would you have the same level of admiration for the Police if they defected your car for having unroadworthy tyres and a cracked windscreen, like they should have?

I'm constantly surprised by what factors people judge police on. If they let them off for minor speeding offences, the Police are doing a GREAT JOB!!!! If they rape you for street racing your mates up and down George St/Chapel St/Cavill Ave (!), then they're dirty cops...

Weird isn't it?

i agree to an extent andrew. looking beyond what the boys in blue do to protect us from unroadworthy cars though, they are the ones that we call on when our lives are in danger.

but it pisses me off no end when they are overly suspiscious or worst still, abuse that power. last night for instance, i was driving my g/f home at around 2am and i passed a paddy wagon travelling the other way. they proceeded to do a U turn at the next intersection and tail gate me for the next few kilometres. i had enough so i slowed down, pulled into the left lane and they proceeded to go past me, slowly, they peered into the car and turned left infront of me at the next available opportunity.

now in one way im grateful to them, they would've probably done a number plate check to see if the car was stolen, but what if they pulled me over for a random breathe check for the sake of being overly suspiscious? i have no time for this shit, i wanted to get home as soon as i could because i was tired. if i was in any other car besides from a sports car they would'nt have had second thoughts.

so my point is, i think the general consensus within performance car enthusiasts is they are bastards when they appear to abuse that power. id like to think that everyone had respect for them for the job they try to do.

:werd:

I cant believe anyone on here would defend 170km/h in a 60 zone as "hes doing it because he knows he can" and "hes got a better car therefore he should be allowed to"

WHAAAATT?

There is no other phrase to describe the above act than "ABSOLUTE F'UCKING STUPIDITY". As for the "oh and i suppose youve never gone over the limit" crowd, get real. Theres a big difference between doing 70 in a 60 and 170 in a 60.

Anyone who defends this f'ucking muppet deserves the same punishment he gets.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
