man they always have the booze bus's in Ringwood... I should know, they are mostly down the end of my street....

There were so many cops on Maroondah Hwy that night... I was on it from Nuna to Ringwood... in the change of 2 suburbs I saw 3 cop cars (2 undercover) with ppl pulled over... + the booze bus...

Clearly if this bloke had any brains he would not have been driving....

1 thing I dont get though is that when they normally get these guys, they leave their cars on the median strip and normally pick them up the next day... how did he get his car in 2 hours? surely the bus wouldn't have finished by then....

hate that it makes the area look shitty...

hardly as bad as drink driving! plus its only my weekender and dont have long left on my ps :D

Still you are breaking the law. Or is it "it's only illegal if i get caught" ? :D

But that's not the point here....

Hopefully ( we all know it won't happen ) if this gets enough media attention, maybe just maybe, they'll make an example of this person.

don't forget that tabloid journalism like that seen in the Hun is half the reason why we car enthusiasts get victimised.

You know the drill... the minority spoil it for the majority. Take for example yesterday I was parked legally outside my mum's place for breakfast. Low and behold a police car drives past fairly quickly and I think nothing of it. Then five minutes later the same police car drives past and stops blocking my mum's driveway. There isn't anything wrong with the way i'm parking and my car isn't on fire, being towed, stolen or crushed. Yet they sit there for a few minutes. When they left I was thinking damn it I should have set my alarm off they were that close to my car.

It's days like that I just want to swap her for a Excel.

Slightly of topic.

If we buy infamous cars then we can expect the attention. They were probably just running your plates, or maybe a similar car had been reported stolen.

Although half the cops in my town think my car IS just a kitted Excel...

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
