While I dont know this for sure, an old workmate told me he had an issue with P plates which he put to the police to find out what the case was.

Legally its stated as P plates have to be clearly viewable on the outside of the vechile. So with tinted windows, you really arent supposed to have them on the inside of the car at all. Especially how some pople hide them in corners and so forth. So technically if you have tinted windows or read visors, etc you should display it outside the vechile.

PS: Go to Sydney, they are all outside the cars :D

Yeah, wtf is up with that?

Stick it on the fkn window you tool, how hard is it?

It's because sometimes the P plates are visible when placed inside the car. Either the windows are too tinted, or the angle of the rear window is too slanted. The poh-leese pulled me up in my 33 complaining about that, and told me glue one to my rear bar... It never happened lol.

Not from Melbourne, but my hated car lists are:

Excel (especially ones where people spend money to riced them up, might as well just throw all that $ done the toilet).

Civic (the old hatch model, look like a ugly bug, riced up ones just makes me hate them more).

BMW 318 (Got a bunch of family friends who buys a 2nd hand one & thinks they are in the rich group coz they drive a BMW; the cars that doctors drive... hello its a 318! the bottom of the 3's range! come back & show off when you have at least bought a 335, M3 or 760).

Jazz (just don't like it)

+1 riced up lancers

+1 camrys driven by 1.4m blind asian women thinking 60 means 6

+1 318s....now i really hate these....the worst thing is that those guys think theyre fast...pwoah i wana get my mums magna out and just rape one of those fux....:) angry :)

Anything made by SsangYong!!!!!

Dirtiest cars ever.

haha. Two girls from my high school bought these shit 80s 318is for that exact reason; they thought they made them look classy. The pieces of shit broke down so often and had to get towed holding up the whole rest of the car park from going home.

N/A S13s with chromies and the like give me the shits. Was at my friend's panel shop, and a guy with one came in asking for a 'body kit.' My friend said sure, it'll be blah blah to fit it if you supply one. And he goes can't you supply one? My friend asks the guy what kind of kit he wants (Vertex, GP Sport, etc) and the guy goes on to say "I just want a kit. The guy around the corner said he'd give me a body kit painted for $1000"

Screw you Patrick - I regularly have lights on during the day. Company policy :blink:

Makes people look at the cars more.

so..

2 light bulbs, say 55W each = 110W.

say you do 20000km per year, at an average speed of 45km/h..

say you drive during the day 70% of the time..

20000 / 45 = 444 driving hours/year

444 * 0.70 = 311 day time driving hours/year

311 * 110 = 34KWh day time lighting energy/year

1 litre of fuel ~ 16KWh of chemical energy

assume 25% efficiency for a combustion engine, and 70% for an alternator, which means

16 * 0.25 * 0.70 = 2.8KWh of energy from 1 litre of fuel

34 / 2.8 = 12 litres of fuel per year for lighting during the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's $18!!!!!!

And we haven't even considered the cost of changing light bulbs!!!

What about the effect on the environment!!!

shame on you! :)

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
