as far as my boss knows im working.. so shhhhh!

nuh f**k msn. i used to have it and never got any work done.

but back on topic.. if u guys wana do regular meets, theres some good spots. me and my friends used to meet on the corner of anzac hwy and marion rd. never ever had police probs. close to shops. and u just go straight up cross rd or greenhill to get into the hills. mmm hills, would love to go on a hills run soon one nite.. if anyone is keen.

i think your missing my point pete,what gives them the right to pull someone over that is by no means doing anything wrong, just minding there own buisness in a seemingly clean legal car,obveiously if you have a loud exhaust or things like that thats a different story but its a generalisation on there part, its like me saying to a customer oh i refuse to work on your car because you look like the kind of person that doesnt have any money

now if i said something like that id get freakin shot! so what gives them the right to think oh its a performance car so it must have something illigal on it lets pull it over.

another thing that grinds my gears is how consistantly dumb the police are getting,95% of them wouldnt know a what blow off valve was if it jumped up and kicked them in the nuts. i for one think they should at least have some sort of training on at least the basics before they get the right to decide what is deemed legal or not on ones car.

i do agree tho most of the cars are defectable tho lol.

lol at what you said dommar too haha.

yeah Jack I wasn't flaming you. We keep screaming for more of a police presence on the road due to the increasing crime rate each year so we can't keep crying out foul, we take the good with the bad. No doubt that cops have a daily quota to fulfill which is to justify the number of cops patrolling the streets and their income to the government coffers otherwise we would find them having a siesta under a tree somewhere and our taxes would keep rising to support the extra police presence, classic case of taxes vs fines, I prefer the latter.

No doubt there is a stigma with young looking males in imports and the attraction to cops.......take a teaspoon of cement and learn to live with it cause its been like that forever, only difference now is that it used to be young looking drivers in EH Holdens.

The first thing that will attract a cop to you is behaviour on the road (1st) then the car you drive (2nd).

I ride one of the most obnoxious and in your face things in Adelaide....yet I feel comfortable in town and down at the Bay. In the last 18 months I've been pulled over 3 times on the bike and in the end they only wanted a look. When you hit town or the Bay, just be sensible and avoid the blitz areas for defects ie. Colley Reserve.

i agree id rather the latter part of your comment too pete.

the same thing happens with my father on his bike, its rediculasly loud.so loud that i know when hes coming home 5 minutes before he actually arives because i can hear it from blocks away and he has never had a problem with the police, with the hypercharger on it the induction noise is intence lol if anything that gets peoples attention more then how loud it actually is.

lol im at work to steve,i have nothing to do here anyway its very quiet today.

I've always been into bikes. Cars are just an in-between interest. :D You're frowned upon as much as you are driving an import. But it does come down to where and when you ride. Just like if you cruise the city and bay Fri and Sat nights, you could be targetted as much. Same if you ride your bike the same stretch or in the known 'hot spots' in the hills. With the exception of RBT stops, I get pulled over on the bike 3-4 times a year. I haven't been pulled over in the car yet. Even tho I'm frowned upon more on my bike, it doesn't deter me whatsoever.

Owning 5 bikes and 2 cars is evident of where my heart is at :rofl:

What do you ride?

As of today, an Aprilia RS125. im a sucker for 2 stroke powerbands i guess, i'm going to work my way to the RSV Mille when i qualify.

my mechanic got defected! cop thought his r34 was an r32..................... :D the defect note says it's major, uncompliant air filter and uncompliant intercooler! and all i can say is there is nothing wrong with the air filter, it's got 2 brackets on it! and the fmic, there was nothing cut in the chassis so i'm stumped! oh and zero driving hours

Used to be crap in the later days of CSA, we'd always get randoms in commonwhores doing a quick open wheeler then go speeding off down marion road....5 minutes later a cop would arrive and ask what was going on. lol

it comes down to the age old argument,what other people cant have they make other people pay for,any car that looks like it gets looked after,is one reason too many for the coppers to check it over. its just lucky they dont know what thier looking at,the day that happens were all in trouble,i just got me a r33 with all the bits,i spent most of the weekend just trying to hide bits they look for,its rubbish its got that way.

Yep, when I got a new dash I went to the trouble of removing the big boost gauge and hiding the boost controller into the glovebox.. took a while but now my interior looks stock standard and thats a Good Thing

-D

Actually thats pretty much exactly what happened on my cruise Eddy.

Went down to maslins, then a commonwhore rocked up, did some ringies in the carpark, down the other end from us, sped off and then bout 20 mins later the cops rocked up.

Didn't say anything or come over to us. Just sat in their car in the opposite carpark, watched us standing around the cars...and then drove off.

I took photos of them using my uber massive zoom lens :D

bla bla bla to much junk to read, the street scene is still there your all just not looking, and the cops are fine stop bagging them they go on these sites and they are doing their job and everytime they have come on my cruises they have NEVER put a pretty sticker on any of the cars

by the way cruises will re start soon :D

yeah i had gauages for boost,temp on pillar,t/timer under the s/wheel and under the bonnet were those cheap looking hose covers etc,so i ripped it all out to clean it up,looks pretty standard inside. put me t/timers and boost controllers under dash in hidy holes for any changes,but it wont stop them pulling us over unfortunately. we need to have more cruises organised in sa,more out of town cruises tend to attract less attention,all we need a newmeeting spot or way to communicate within us all,without hopefully attracting the hoon drivers

well the car scene has died in adelaide because of this stupidly cold conditions

while these conditions are great for our front mounts

its not so good on us human beings

wait till summer boys and gals

the car scene will definately return but at the same time the cop attention will too

its so stupid that the cops make us import drivers a moving target

as some of you know i have recently been defected

the reason being "suspected suspension damage"

now how they came up with that i dont know

but after escaping the defect numerous times i guess i was expecting to be done sooner or later

we have cruises i organise them and have been since the star of the year almost, i have rules and we dont go near the city and the meet spot if fine and wont be changing also most of everyone has my number so thats how we stay in touch or we have radios

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
