A P-plate driver has been charged following a pursuit in country Victoria.

A police divisional van at Rocheseter attempted to intercept the 1989 Nissan GTS coupe as it passed them at high speed on the Northern Highway shortly before 8pm.

The powerful Nissan reaches speeds close to 190kph before the pursuit ended five minutes after the pursuit began as the Nissan's driver slowed down at Echuca.

The 27-year-old driver, from Alfredton, was arrested without incident and his car impounded.

He was charged with reckless conduct likely to cause serious injury, failing to stop for police, speed dangerous, exceeding the speed limit, driving an unregistered vehicle and failing to display P-plates.

He was bailed to appear at the Echuca Magistrates Court on September 29 this year.

The guys a retard, but did they really need to mention that it was a Skyline? Would they have pointed out the car if it was a 1989 Magna?

Doesn't matter whether they mention Skyline or not. It's not gonna give name bad to anything.

There were a few other news before where 2 cars which is clearly mentioned in the news as high power Commodore had a drag racing on the street ended up one of them or both getting into accident. And there were other news where they mention the car involved is a Magna on another case.

It's just news. mentioning Skyline in it is a fact, not an attempt to tarnish anything.

I'm not overly worried as a tool is a tool regardless of what they drive- & I agree 190? wot happened to the speed cut so it maybe the news paper sensationalising to make themselves look better- not that its eva happened b4- its normally 2day-2nite who are the clueless ones who never let the facts get in the way of a good story not murdochs own baahahahahaha

story from last night, notice they mention "Honda Prelude" but only name the Suzuki by brand. I'm guessing it comes down purely to what's mentioned on the incident report.

lol suspicion of drag racing... both in their 20's at 2:30am heading away from the city down a backroad with single and double lane sections. yathink?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
