Just heard on radio coming into work this morning - (I live in Canberra)

AFP announced beginning of 5 day Nats blitz. They are already setup on the Federal Highway coming into Canberra.

"Targetting NOISE" specifically and other "motor vehicle guidelines specific to ACT" - but well you know - anything they can snoop around and find probably - plus the usual "mobile phones, drink driving, seatbelts"

Just thought I would let you all know poeple....

Take care and have heaps of FUN at the NATS - look out for Canberra plated Skylines and say hi to us locals!!!!!!!

:(

Ok - its now getting serious.

A friend works out at Eaglehawk - just beyond ACT border into NS. He just contacted me. Says there is now anything between 30 to 40 cop cars out at border (just inside ACT)

Cars are getting stopped and inspected all over the place------------------

BAs, SSs, unmarked and marked pursuit cars

:goddam:

One lane was/is closed down speed limit goes from 110/80/60/40 - within seconds -

If you speed and try and get away - there is NOWHERE to go

Stay safe people --------------------------

They did the same in '03... blocked the Hwy into Canberra and pulled over any sus cars. They tested how loud my exhaust was (back then it was a 3" Cat-back with 2 mufflers and a 4" tip). I got away with it fine after they got me to rev the car about 4 or 5 times trying to get me haha.

I think the only thing they could -really- get me for now is the FMIC because its not engineered.

Hrmm do I risk it and take my r33 down park it on fri nite and then drive home again on sat nite hrmm. Or just go down n back on Saturday.

Yepp, be careful people.

In the last few days I've seen a noticable increase in the amount of police cars around the place.

Play safe and don't do anything illegal while your here, otherwise they will pounce on you quicker than ever.

ACT police are pretty good though, just be polite and you shouldn't have any problems.

DIRTY F*****N DOGS!!

I may be going up with a mate, but he was lucky enough to hire an XTRAIL and he is trailoring his car, but theres possibly 2 more car loads coming up who will without a doubt get done!!

Good looking out Canberra boys! :)

Cheers

You can be defected interstate, as whilst youre in that state you have to comply by their rules and regulations (so ive been told).

If you get defected, when you go home you must get the defect for that state cleared (theres authorised inspection stations for each state in every city) or else they will fine you.

Im not 100% sure on the above, but am 98% sure thats how it works (when some friends got defected in nsw with act rego).

but he was lucky enough to hire an XTRAIL and he is trailoring his car

It doesn't matter whether it is on a trailor or if he is driving it. If they can "see it" they can inspect/defect it.

I just got word from a reliable source "on the inside" down there that as of 4am tomorrow a crew will be inspecting "everything that opens and shuts".

Welp their goes my Summernats, if I go i get defected and if I dont then I miss out (can't get any other transport).

Pity...

Just saw all on the local news. Yep - one lane closed down - cops are waiting like a RBT unit and just flagging down for inspection every single car they want to

----------

trying to think of another way in for ya all but don't think there is-----------------

oh and the thanks canberra 'boys' should read thanks canberra 'people', as the 'ette' implies I am a female!

:-)

I get the feeling the pollies do not want the 'honour' of hosting the Summernats in their fair territory...

T.

I'm not sure if it's that, but in previous years the RTA and police have made it very clear that if your car isn't legal and you not going to play by the rules (eg. do burnouts in Braddon) that they will come down hard on you.

The pollies realise that summernats brings a HEAP of money to Canberra. Almost every hotel/motel/pub will be booked out over the summernats period.

But I can see that the government will be making a heap of money out of it in fines and defects too !! :P

J

bloody sucks - it brings so much money into canberra in that few days it is mindblowing -----------------

Nats organisers were also on tele tonite - talked about the ?7 I think it was fulltime people they employ and the 200 part-timers that get work not to mention all the security guards they employ-----------------

Look if I hear ANYTHING I will let you know -

My Skyline is modded and I was going to go out cruising, but am thinking of just laying real low for a few days. As it was I drove home REAL careful this afternoon.....

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
