A young driver does a burnout out the front of maccas and then sees in his rear view mirror the flashing red and blue lights -

does he:

a) pull over and have his car confiscated and crushed

b) plant his right foot and lead the cops on a high speed chase to avoid capture (he could always dump the car later and report it stolen).

Now, I'm going to try be sensible when I get my first car, I might do something from time to time, but if it came to me doing a burnout and being busted by police, I'm not letting them crush my car, I'm taking my chances, simple. Not that I promote 'hooning' on public roads in any shape or form mind you. I think its down right stupid, but lets be sensible here, crushing peoples cars?

How about this:

If you get caught breaking stage 3a water restrictions, say you got busted washing your car on town water, first offence you get a fine.

You get caught again, they cut the water from your house for a month

Third strike, they burn your house down.

So your going to risk getting your ass thrown in jail, massive fines and fees, criminal record, might get killed or kill someone during the chase............. just so they dont crush your car because you've broken the laws on numerous occasions and have not learnt your lesson.

You're damn right I will, you want my "expensive car", you're coming after me for it. As i said, not that I'd be a hoon on public roads, but if that did happen, you'd know my reaction and the reactions of many others. Here in Victoria, they just take the keys off you and sell the car at auction, not crush the thing. I'm not retarded enough to put myself in that situation, but IF I WAS I can't say I would just pull over.

Or people will just race around in $500 XE Falcons lol.

In Victoria, they can get you for "excessive acceleration" and its up to their discretion what that is, or even little things like slightly breaking traction in the wet. So if you decide to hold first gear for a while, or accelerate hard without spinning the wheels, or slightly spin the wheels in the wet, good bye car.

Mate, if you don't stop its going to be a case of a criminal record and/or jail time, not just loosing your car. Its not a case of "oh well the car will be gone better make the most of it"

I know, but people don't think in high pressure situations, best mates Dad lead the police into a high speed chase in his XY GT Falcon back in the 70s and got a year jail for it, the police report says the car was "bouncing from gutter to gutter", he says the only reason he stopped was his best mate was in the passenger seat crapping his pants, I suspect if it wasn't for him, my best mate wouldn't be alive today. Police probably know this too, people are going to go for their lives on the third strike I can tell you that now. There is also a saying, once a criminal, always a criminal, not only do you get jail time, the criminal record means you won't be able to get a job, which means re-offending to go back into jail, or selling drugs.

You can act and think logically and take the moral high ground as much as you like, but when you're in the thick of it, you aren't in control of yourself.

I think you guys are taking the photo the wrong way. The logic is more like "all hoons have skylines, but not all skylines have hoons". Or something along those lines.

Crushing cars is just stupid and vindictive. It's akin to a child stomping on another child's sandcastle in the sand pit because he/she didn't get their way. It's all about causing emotional pain for the perpetrator with no positive result for anyone. I'm all for "don't want the time, don't do the crime" and deterrence, but what a friggen waste crushing someone's car is. Auction the car off and donate the money to charity for f**ks sake, instead of just destroying resources for the sake of watching someone cry over their car.

if you are dumb enough to continue to drive like a dick after the first 2 times you deserve to have your car crushed because you obviously have no reguard for the laws. you get a few goes at changing your driving style before the car gets taken off you, so if you don't use the chances you are given then tough titties. it's your fault and no-one elses. don't do the crime if you aren't prepared to do the time.

and there is no point running. once the cops have your rego number they will know where you live, and can find out where you work, etc, so you WILL get caught and will just end up being in more trouble and may end up being someone's bitch.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
