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...

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
