what do you all think of this new drug tester that all the cops are floggin off over ...

I hope it never hits the roads like previous models they have had.

I mean it might not affect everyone but it will affect me and if they ever ask me to chew on the tester thingy i will tell them exactly where they can insert that tester ...

I reckon that it wont be used because it would take extensive cross testing to see if anything gives faulse readings like some cough mixtures and sudafed that contain pseudoephedrine which is a main chemical that is used im amphetamines..

hmmm ..depends, they said it would only pickup certain types of drugs. So i doubt it would pick up dope or something like that?

They say you have to suck on the stick thing for like 1-3 minutes, so i doubt they're going to use it that much because of the time it would take and the holdup to traffic. So I can only see them using it if they thought you had the obvious signs of being on some type of drug.

ppl shouldn't be driving on drugs anyhow if u ask me. I'm not sure whether i believe the statistics (as always) but they say i think it was 30% of people involved in fatal accidents have drugs in their system.

If you ask me, most of the problem coming home from those things is the tiredness of dancing for 10 hours straight or something.. and then coming down and fatigue finally hitting you, not the drugs themselves. And considering their is no "fatigue tester" then i don't see it doing much difference.

Problem with truckies is that as much of it is to meet stupid deadlines and push more crap thru to make more money and stay awake. All they'll do is come up with a masking agent or something or just change the drugs. That area of elicit drugs is pretty organised.

I think in reality, drug testing can never really do too much - just like in sport whereas the drug manufacturers are always 2 steps ahead of the testing.

another question this tester raises.....dope stays in your system for ages......what happens if you smoke a jay the day/night before the day you are going for a drive and get tested?? Tech speaking you are not under the influence but it may still be in your system.....

I dont think the local dealer around the clubs could give a toss if its detectable, so I think that the 2 steps ahead thing doesnt apply in this case...

If you take any sort of drugs, first off your a tool, second of all you are in no shape to be driving!!

** Note... I had a friend die through drug related causes when I was younger so im very much against drug use.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
