Is there a specific law regarding take off speed? I'm sure a cop could find something to fine you with if you did drive like that and you'd deserve whatever was dished out.

All I said was it might not "technically" be illegal.

2 things... in regards to your other post where you said " Technically what he's doing may not be illegal if its in a 100kmh zone." he admits to doing it in a backstreet so yes its going to be illegal.

secondly, apparently there are laws for acceleration - my mate has an s2000, was pulled over on the freeway of all places, nothing was wrong with the car, so the officer said fine and they both got ready to head of, he took of fast - as the dumbass cop pulled him over at the end of a bend and he couldnt see around it, so to be safe and not slow anyone down he tried to get up to speed...

15 seconds later the cop pulls him over again and fines him for accelerating too fast.....

I know I don't fang out of booze bus's up to 60....

Wow. Didn't know that about the accelaration thing. I always take of fast but don't exceed the speed limit. In future I don't think i'll be doing that. Thanks for the heads up. :)

yeah definately check it out on a dyno

mine was running slow when I got it, I didn't know

about it cause I went straight from an old laser 4cyl to skyline turbo six

without having driven any other higher powered car so I thought it

was fast and only found out when I got it serviced the guys at the shop

said that it was very slow compared to other skylines they'd serviced and

tested , they thought It might have been leaking boost or something, but

once they tuned it up and such I couldn't believe the difference.

So, you let someone else drive like a maniac in your car while you weren't around to stop them?

Regarding the acceleration issue, I don't think accelerating fast is technically illegal if you don't do a burnout. I went to court a couple of years ago and I paid a good lawyer to represent me. He said that taking off fast at a set of traffic lights is not illegal and can easily be beaten if taken to court provided a burnout isn't performed as this would be classed as hooning.

Incidentally, he beat all but one charge (other lawyers have since said that he basically pulled off a miracle and got the best and most unlikely result in the scenario).

EDIT:

To the OP, stop being an idiot and take your car to a track or drag strip. Backstreets are not the place to be doing 100 kph.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
