Really? I read 4 or 6 points....

Nah thats only in the eastern states. They were going to introduce a similar rule here where you start with 3 demerits+ 3 more each year you drive till you have the full 12,along with the other learner/p plate changes in july 2008 but then decided against it. Though it is likely it will be introduced sometime in the future

I'm going up to Exmouth with my parents during the Christmas break & originally I was going to take my car but after careful consideration I have decided to take the Camry instead :down:

Also isn't it in the Eastern States where a Red P-plater can lose their license straight away from just 1 speeding fine (even if its just <10km/h over)...

Perth has the worst drivers in the known universe. There should be a blitz on keeping left and not acting like an arse hat. Keep left, be courteous.

Yes, this does have a PR component to it but statistically there were a higher number of fatal during the Christmas period. It would be nice if all the money the gubernment made from their speed cameras went to road safety, training, road maintenance and creation...and not that clown Dorrington.

Happy Kwanza...now shut up and eat your yams. :down:

I like 'Stupid Tax'

Taxing the stupid is the best way to raise money for all the additional costs the taxpayer incurs throughout the year because of the Stupid person. Stupid People need to be at least partially self funded is my view.

Double fines help raise important revenue for things like increased medical funding for hospitals to treat the people eating the small desicant packages in electrical goods and paying for the printed warning on the packages that say "do not eat".

You see unlike you and me the Stupid persons brain has trouble with understanding plainly stated warnings like road signs. For example when a Stupid person sees a speed limit sign, the Stupid person's brain starts to become inflamed causing pain and discomfort. The Stupid person reacts by suddenly saying stupid things, popping any collar on an article of clothing they or someone nearby may be wearing and ,if handy, eating any nearby desicant packet or item with 'do not eat' written on it. But, in most motor vehicles manufacturers have not been using desicant packets for many years (choking a stuid person is the best way to remove the seizure and it was included for drivers as a complimentary feature in the past as a part of first aid kits to shut down Stupid Person passengers in such an event). As a result, the stupid person then makes gurgling noises and loses further control of their already limited thinking capacity. Sometimes causing them to drive in a manner considered illegal and or dangerous.

Also, for this reason gently removing the stupid peoples licences via double points is one humane way of getting them into a safer and less costly lifestyle for the tax payer.

I love revenue raising speed cameras, traffic light cameras and double fines. Naturally stupid people don't because they aren't able to understand road rules and laws and due to brain malfunctions can't control a motor vehicle or open a new DVD player in a safe way. So lets support the governments move to have them become more self funded and get them off the road. It's for the good of all :down:

Speaking of stupid people, f**king P plater bitch on the freeway this morning looked over to her blind spot.. probably saw me.. and kept coming over into my lane anyway. Stupid people wear my brake pads down more :down:

Just think,

as a policeman you could have given her double demerits and a double fine for dangerous driving. The double points may have been enough to remove her licence completely as well. I think dangerous driving is a 6 pointer normally? so that would make it 12 and goodnight.

The double fines handed out mean less pressure to increase your taxes.

So you have more money in the pocket thanks to less stupid people on the road wasting your brakes and less tax increases.

I was a vulnerable little victim on a bike, with a bigger safety risk too *sob sob*

Your point reminds me of the graffiti signs on the trains, something like "your train fares would be a lot cheaper if we did not have to clean up this graffiti so often"

I've worked in the Middle East and they are far worse...they are very reckless, but having said that they are predicable in being reckless and not giving any courtesy etc. In Perth though people can't merge I have noticed...it's all hesitancy and unpredictability; nobody seems to know what to do?

Fines don't double though...that should also double IMHO.

Although, from experience the worse drivers don't pay their fines anyway. I know some people with over $25,000 in unpaid fines and they're still driving, go go gadget Centrepay!

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
