R33 Gtst Slow, Whats Wrong

[WYTSKY]

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.
