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....

cant believe you believe this... lol

undercover bussa's has been a topic of discussion from 3 years ago...

it was a rumor never proven, made to scare bike riders...

so it was just stories to scare children, like santa, the tooth fairy and michael jackson?

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...

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
