Morning Mangs,

Cut off a police car this morning and did skids in front of them. They didn't pull me over :D

you are doing well. they would have locked me up..

Morning.

Bad start to the day. Raging headache when I wake up, no pain killers in appartment and then I drop the nut off my negative terminal clamp into my engine bay and it doesn't come out the other side.

At least the rain seems to have f**ked off :)

LOL.

The full story is this:

Was ~4 or 5 cars back at a T junction, waiting to turn right. This particular T junction has very poor visibility to the left (crest) and is a fairly busy road.

Was waiting there for quite some time, and there was a number of large gaps in the traffic that the front car did not take. I assumed it must be a useless P-Plater/L-Plater/Woman, and was starting to get p*ssed off.

Anyway then the guy jumps out and asks the guy behind him for a push. I got out to help too, as did one or two others. It was a VP commo or something, and as we pushed it away there was a MASSIVE puddle of oil under it (like, the whole sump worth). Nasty.

So then we go back to our cars and proceed on our merry way.

Now by this time, there is a MASSIVE line up of cars waiting to turn right, and we have all been waiting some time as well, so the gaps being taken were perhaps a bit more optimistic than usual...

Anyway I get to the front of a line, see a gap and go for it. As pull out, a cop car comes flying over the crest to the left, but I am already halfway out into the first lane so I am committed.

So what I do is give it a bit of juice in order to get a hurry on and try not to cut the copper off too much, right. But of course, my rear tyres are now coverred in the oil that had vacated the afforementioned VP commo's sump, resulting in instant traction loss despite only a little throttle tap.

The end result of this was a beautiful sideways entrance into the lane I wanted to be in, right in front of the cop car I was busy cutting off... I thought I was going to be in for trouble for sure.

Anyway maybe half a km down the road is the train crossing I mentioned before, which we had to sit and wait for about a million trains to go through. Cop car was right behind me for the whole time, and then a few kms after as well before going our seperate ways.

I can only assume they left me alone for one/more of the following reasons

1) I suspect they were speeding, and knew it. They came flying over that crest

2) They spotted the puddle of oil and matching tracks leading to my wheels, and the broken down commo on the side of the road, and managed to put 2+2 together.

3) Pintara factor/end of shift/etc.

4) Good kharma repayment for helping to push old mate's car ;)

5) I am a god. The evidence has been there too long to keep denying it...

drive into underground carpark a kippa ring shopping centre around 10am

drive into the corner where there are no cars (ie. no chance of cars parking next to me and denting my doors)

auto headlights come on due to it being dark under there... thus lighting up more stuff and improving visibility...

turn the corner into a space and there is a guy (about 30ish) with his pants down doing a shit in the carpark native style...

not only that he waves while touching it (the poo) with his other hand...

i hit reverse cause i thought he was about to fling it... and go the hell outta there...

    • Thanks, I'll shim that plug and hopefully it fixes it.  Yes still factory turbo for now, still have the misfire it's not as bad but still noticeable 
    • I had someone check the CU, they said it was fine but it could be buggered  I was only running around 7-10 PSI on the dual stage controller, but my boost gauge is shit house and needs replacing so I'm not getting a true reading.  Then I ran from wastegate pressure as per Turbosmart but still have the same sort of issue 
    • Yeah this is a thing. I've had mine setup like this for a few years now, works fine. If I dredge my memory bank, I think I had to do this after I removed my factory dash.  So you've tried it on gate pressure, I'm assuming this is the factory turbo? Did you still have misfire issues with that setup?
    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)
