Small/handheld breath testers are not exactly accurate... they can test you 5 times and get 5 different readings.... does that mean you get done on the average? The breath test is so they can take you off the road to use a more sensitive breath tester or blood test.

Simon is right and the ones which are used by the coppers are re calibrated regularly where as you cant re calibrate those small hand held ones, some allow you to replace the actual sensor but it becomes expensive

Maybe for what *you* pay...not for what *I* pay though :happy:

ooohh what do you pay? either way i'd prefer a glenfiditch glenfarqs (sp?) etc, i much prefer a single malt, actually tried some really good ones at the food and wine festival on sunday.

but yes a 0.00 blood alchahol limit won't have any significant, if noticable at all effect on the road toll, so why do it?

They have to do a second reading (some time later - 15 mins or half an hour or something),

Im pretty sure this used to be true, but unfortunently I dont think it is a requirement anymore, its purely at the officers discrestion.

Because when a mate was pulled over on paradise rd Slightly over, (2 beers at dinner?), when I asked the officer about this, this is what he said basically. Some clarification of that law would be good. anyone?

Stats are taken if someone is in an accident and have a reading of alcohol in theri blood that it is alcohol related even though it might not have been their fault or could have been a passenger. The state uses these lame stats to claim tougher pe

daaaale broooo

yeh totally agree with ya there, how u been? hahaha to be honest im still worried bout the swab tests that they were meant to be implementing...dam listerine mouth washes start to taste like shit after a while :)

i laughed when i saw this one the news though, kinda gay but what can u do i guess....cops are cops

wasnt the 2 beers that attracted the coppers bud, may have been that freakin loud HKS turbo with ur screamer going off hahahaha pm me dude

and drink responsibly to everyone else :banana:

it'll never happen, but i'm in support. i've always found it strange that we're allowed to pilot tonnes of metal, with ANY level of a known and freely available sensory inhibitor in our bloodstream.

Agree.

I support lowering the blood alcohol limit to 0. Or maybe 0.02

I am already drunk at 0.05

Well instead of supporting the rediculous change, maybe you should just not drink if planning on driving, son of rajab Cadbury :D

I'm not a bogan, I don't drink. I only know I am drunk @ 0.05 from my 16-18yr old period :D

f**k that

so because Im on 24/7 morphine slow release patches for insane pain that then means I shouldnt have a license?

^

no different to having a beer with dinner.

No I dont drink (now) seeing Im on morphine, but to stop everyone from enjoying a drink responsibly is called Prohibition.

and yrs of human society have proved that Prohibition does not work, can not work, and never will work

One mans drug is another mans pleasure

I mean, how can there be a law banning marijuana, for example? Its a natural plant, such bullshit

at the end of the day I make my own laws. One and only - do unto others as youd have them do unto you.

its kept me outa trouble for my life and will continue to do so

if I feel like going 300kmph on a motorbike or 220kmph in the stagea in the hills then thats my choice, my responsibility

if i feel like a beer with dinner thats my choice, my responsibility

if i feel like a bong then a hills drive again thats my choice.

they can make laws but if everyone refuses to obey it isnt much of a law then, is it?

and they cant jail everyone. . . .

make your own choices people. just be responsible for your actions.

.00 bac will not happen, society would say a big "f**k you" to the laws and disregard them.

Your choices have consequences for others.

When driving I don'texpect someone to be coming at me at 300kph, or even 220kph. If I cross into the other lane, legally, and you're travelling that fast we will have a head on collision. We will both die.

You don't follow your own law, you do what you want with no regard for those around you.

We live in a society where a person acts with no regard to anyone but themselves. A world where people elect to fullfill their selfish desires without a thought to anyone else. I don'treally expect any better, when you have expectations then society can disappoint you.

ETA: And yes, if your morphine impairs your judgement then your licence should be revoked.

I agree, for the time that you are on it, then once you are cleared then you can get back on the road ! :D

N.O.T - It is the same if you need glasses to drive & you don't ... ! :)

These sort of 'Arguments' 'Debates' are really each to their own, everyone has an opnion on it, Someone that has gotten away with it/does it every weekend will have a different opinion to someone that has never done it or someone that has lost loved once due to drink driving/drug driving etc! ...

If you drink and drive, kill a random motorist, not only are you going to jail for manslaughter, you get to have the guilt for the rest of your life, was it worth that last drink then heading home? Or that $40 instead of getting a cab?

Yeah sometimes you might be lucky and get to your destination, thank yourself lucky f**khead !

This has probably been said a few times in the topic but meh, lol ... My opinion is as good as yours :P

f**k that

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
