Guys, I am not upset at any comments aimed at me/police as I know this is a car forum. Where most have been of you would have hassled by police for the cars you drive . I joined here couple of years ago as I had a modified R33 GTR and Have had 2 TT Soarers and still drive a TT Supra.

I have been EPA'd for noise on Soarer to which I changed exhaust I even had my Licence suspended for Speeding when I was 18. (funnly enough in a Daihatsu applause) for 131 in 110 zone so if they dropped speed by 1 km then wouldn't have been suspended. I learnt from it and as most can agree have done worse than that and got away with it.

Here is a story of how bad some police are. Obviously I am in the job and my house got broken into few years ago. You would think I would be looked after but NO. I had lazy CIU that told me I staged the Burglary (insurance fraud) as we lost extreme amount of Jewellery $100K (which wasn't insured by the way) and instead of assisting me and investigating it they hassled/interogated me and my partner and did nothing. SO even though I am one I am far from impressed with most of my colleagues.

So I can see all sides which is sometimes hard for me at work as well as others can't. I agree most police typical holden/ford fans and dislike imports but that stems from the R32's kicking their arses if you ask me. They just can't get over it.

Anyway thanks to the few of you that have assisted me.

Enjoy your cars and drive safely.

saw a yellow GT3 on springvale road turning onto princes hwy (towards dandenong) last friday at around 5:40pm~

Only saw the side of it, so didnt catch the number plates.

Thanks for the tip of ftg construciton. I drive through that stretch of road nearly twice a day. Thought cops couldnt book you for speeding if its up/down a hill? Guess they laser you on the straight stretch near the train museum/farm etc..

I remember one time there was a car with emergency lights flashing parked up the hill. Had a speed camera fixed to the front bar..really shifty

Do u mean a mobile speed camera had its hazards on pretending to be a broken down vehicle was operational?

...if so, thats illegal. They cant 'pretend' to be broken down eg: have the jack attached, hazards on, etc amongst other things such as disguising the vehicle to be a 'commercial' vehicle with stickers and signs etc.

Unless they've changed that just recently????

yeah it was a mobile speed camera car with its hazzard lights on. It was up a hill too, thought they can only snap photos on a flat stretch of road..

you sure it was a gt3? there is a yellow porsche in springvale constantly

the one i saw had the gt3 writing on the side of the car

That yellow Porsche is a piece of shit,

It was originally silver with scratches everywhere on the body, it sounded like a boat and it didnt' even have Heater. Its not even a 911.

1. Can't believe this justifies 5x pages!

2. Can't believe no-one has posted any pics?

Unless the suspected car looks just like this - you're all wrong on it being a yellow 997 GT3 - which considering I'm like a gynacologist with ho-has when it comes to seeing these things, I've never seen a yellow one.

I am not doubting that It probably will be unlikely that I would be able to impound his vehicle but still want to speak to him about his driving. I am more than happy to move on with life not ever catching up with him. I just feel like someone driving like that should be spoken too. I would think that most of you would agree.

I 100% agree....

Can you clear epa's :thumbsup:

No I can't clear EPA's I can only issue them LOL which I never do anymore. Yes It was one of the above Roads and if you know them that speed during the day pretty dangerous as fairly busy.

Oh and by the way I did catch armed robber with knives on him friday night as per your instuctions. I hope your happier now everyone.

Hey gdogzgtr you said you have a r33 GTR do you live in the Rowville region? If so i remember my mate telling me a story when he got pulled over by a cop when he was driving his white evo then the next week he saw that same cop pull up next to him in a GT-R r33 from memory it had a T-wing that you?

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • 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.
