think about it. I add 93 kilo to the weight of the car. Less than 10 percent.

The copper adds a minimum of 90 kg. What percentage do you think that is?

Call the car 1400 kg for the excercise. Its contact patch v weight still far outdoes that of the bike.

And i dont have to climb all over the bike to get it to change direction in a hurry. I simply move the wheel and sit there solid as a rock in a full bucket seat.

Still outdoes it by miles sure but I don't see this as much as a problem as you do obviously.

oh and meant to post this up too

Good video. I hate being wrong :D

It aint a problem at all to me. Its a problem for the poor bugga on his busa gettin his arse handed to him on a hillbilly run. :D

I think we're missing the rather important point of: by the time anyone outruns anyone. He's already got your Make, Model, Color and Licence plate both in his mind, and on his camera :P

Indeed! twould be a very foolish thing to even contemplate.

but, as they say in the classics....There aint no fool like an old fool. :P

They would be better off on a 600 than a busa. Fat ass ugly things they are :P

The benifit of the bike is that it is MUCH easier to weave it through traffic than it is for the modified fully sick car that he is chasing.

It would be a pretty fair car that would outrun me on the cbr up a twisty hill or otherwise. I think the average bogan idiot in his VN V6 is going to have his ass handed to him by the busa when he tries to run....

that is the point with any police chase. unless it was at night, coming the other way and you can turn off your numberplate light before you pass them so they at least can't get your rego, there is no point trying to escape the police no matter what the situation is. the moment they have your rego details it's game over. all you then do is piss the cop off even more so that when they do finally catch up with you they make sure to glue pieces of broken glass to the long arm of the law before they fist you with it.

yeah,

in short there are no official unmarked Police motorcycles in Qld at all...

Also on a side note, comparing a Porsche 911 to a motorbike on a race track does not come close to a falcon or commodore vs a race bike on the roads...

There is no way a police car could catch a bike on a average suburban road if the bike wants to run... I'm not just talking about speed either...

Lane splitting, bike tracks, storm water drains, foot paths, shopping centre, malls there is a million ways for the bike to get away without using speed...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      spot the stagea

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
