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.

but man, how would u feel gettin caught doing that.

should give him a break about it.

how cut would he feel, he still has his licence after that...until it came on front page telegraph and Ray Hadley the prick started to call RTA and some Cop guy and got him off the road immediatly.

Man thats slack

I refuse to "give a break" to someone who does something as stupid as this. As far as im concerned he should be catching the bus for life.

I realise the media suck and the way were portrayed within it is never good. But at the end of the day, he still did 170 in a 60. This fact wasnt a creation by the media.

As far as I know the road was in a residential area hence the 60km/h limit if you lose it at 176km/h you are going to do ALOT of damage and there is a high chance there is gonna be someone around. you hit a pothole and you are gone and so is anyone else in your path. The guy is a retard and deserves to lose his licence for a VERY long time there is a time and place for going that fast....its call the race track.

Airds Rd is not a residential area, it's a industrial area. Trucks go about their business 24hrs a day.

I'm finding it hard to feel sorry for someone who commited a very serious traffic offence. Sure the media beat it up, but that's cause he was way over the limit. That's just the story the media would love to beat up and he gave them the opportunity.

Yes i have attempted to find the limits of my car, on a seculeded road at nite where i know no one is around. And if i go for a run, ill do a drive bye to ensure their is no other cars around.

The fact of this matter is that it was a residentual road. Anyone could pull out of a side street, shops etc, and most drivers only glance to their left to make sure the road is clear, then pull out.

So a driver goin 170+ is goin to approach this car that pulled out very fast, and i would assume the P plater would then panic and lock up and bang, who knows how many lives are gone.

This guy should take for granted that he didnt kill anyone. ITs harsh that hes ****ed now, but in all honesty, i wouldnt want someone goin that fast on a road that im pullin into.

Secluded road is still dangerous Enrico. The chances of wildlife straying out onto the road is very high. Imagine hitting a possum or a wallaby, even a cat at that speed. Disastrous results !

Well well, thanks to this guy the general public has gone bonkers and the cops have to make it out that they're hard at work. So what are they doing?

This!

It's going to suck but the good side of this is that it even applies to drink drivers.

Whats the story with the cops bending us over all the time? I thought Australia was a democracy, yet they get stupid laws passed all the time & we all just bend over & take it! I was told a story about when they tried to make not wearing a helmet on a motorbike in the USA illegal & lots of people jumped up & down and they got it thrown out yet we can get booked in Victoria for a couple of kph over the limit when according to the adr's car speedo's don't even have to be that accurate! So why do we we take it?

My thoughts are that if you feel the need to drive at those speeds (most of us here do) and you are going to do it on a public road at least do it somewhere out of the city where you can see along way ahead and make sure no one else is around. I couldnt care less what danger people put themselves in when it wont harm anyone other than themselves.

The point with the media is also very valid. 176kmh is easily reachable in a falcon or a decent little 2litre hatch. I dont see how calling it a lethal missile and so on is really adding anything to the story. If some of you can remember maybe 6 months ago or more a guy around 20 or so died sadly in a crash in sydney's southwest if i remeber correctly. The reports were all over the tv and new papers saying how he was street racing in his high powered nissan skyline GTR. Then in most of the papers was a list of lethal cars and a slight description. ie WRX, 0-100 in 5.4seconds and available for as little as $20,000). The thing about the story was there were pictures of the crashed car and it was just and old r31 silhouette, turned out to be his parents car apparently.

I think more often than not the media looks for good headlines first and an accurate report second.

Oh well shit happens id say! ive done 180km/h few times on road in Melbourne's Hume Highway in 3am... No car was around, so i thought i might as well do what ever i can, unfortunitly it got stuck at 180km/h coz of the limiter... Theirs a place and time for everything, i wouldnt be doing more than 100km/h in a 60 zone! and yet again 100 is still fast in a 60 zone coz a car might come out from a intersection!

Just remeber this, your allways in a Risk when your speeding! Last Year in Melbourne, their was this VL Turbo, this car was worked of its nuts! It would blow 90% of the people in this forum, (even though i hate to admit it coz i realy hate VL Turbos) anywayz, some people might know him as Rajab brothers, he was dragging some guy in Bell St, a street which has mini shops on it, and he lost control dont know how and slammed the car into the pole and died immediately!

He worked on his car so much it ended up his life! Cars are made from plastic, fibreglass and cheap matterials those days and easy to die in! Any car is a lethal material!

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
