When i was doing security i caught 2 cop cars doing burnouts in a compound opposite silverwater prison & newington village (hill rd). I had the key to the compound so i locked them in and walked up to them. I gave them alot of shit asking if they were rookies and if they'd ticket me if i was doing it (they said no! :thumbdwn: ) So they were apologising and i said if i hear one more word i'm notifying their area commander. I then left the compound with them locked in and went around the corner to see what they were doing :headspin: which was waiting for me to come back! I end up letting them go but not before getting their rego's for safe keeping. After all this, both of them go through the redlight onto Hill Rd while doing burnouts and speeding down the rd. I never called the station, i had the satisfaction of messing with cops at the tender age of 18 :rofl:

Whenever i see cops speeding for no apparent reason i match their speed from a few carlengths behind. No ticket yet and maximum speed was 160 on the M2.

Also raced one of the Police WRX's in 2001 on the M4. He lost!

Well last night in Sydney cops yet again were involved in a police chase that resulted in the death of an innocent passenger (young kid) that was in when a cop was in pursuit of a stolen car. I think something needs to be done there, as its the 2nd incident i can recall in a few months, and it seems to happen there a lot. Its not justifiable if you ask me to push somebody to go 150km+ by some hot head cop.

I think sydney is the worst for this sort of thing. When i was up there i noticed that cops weren't behaving much better than the "hoons" they were attempting to catch.

myself and a few others got a lift to brissie with the schools off duty rent a cop (who's a good bloke actually) to get to some excursion, i've never been in a car that's broken so many traffic laws. speeding, red lights (by accident if that's any better), talking on a mobile phone, failing to stop etc. we were all joking about it by the end.

walking to work this morning saw a cop car coming to a set of red lights then all of a sudden his lights come on and he speeds through the lights....then as soon as he goes through he slows down to the speed limit and turns his lights off.

now tell me they dont abuse there power

a couple of my staff are RFB and are licensed for emergency drving in firetrucks. Apparently all emergency vehicles are breaking the law if they do anything wrong, lights and sirens or not. It is just accepted they need to for their jobs. They said that they (RFB) are not allowed to go over 30 km or they will be busted by cops apperently....they have also been RBT'ed in firetrucks....go figure....i wonder if an onduty hwy has ever been pulled over. Apparently the hwy have their own rules....they also make a few up as they go.

My Dad is a firefighter here in Queensland and tells me that the rules are no more than 10% over the speed limit and they must come to a complete stop before passing through a red light. These are of course only "the rules" as he has told me many a story about four wheel drifts and insane speeds in 13 ton fire trucks :rofl: I also remember a story about going at such a speed on the highway that the red perspex flashing light covers created enough drag to rip the light assembley from the roof of the truck!

I much prefer the thought of an ambulance or fire truck speeding to save a life than a cop car speeding to give a ticket or even worse just mukkin around.

I saw a police going skidding off the rd next to a mate house , he was obviously speeding for no apparent reason, while stuck in the ditch and some minor damage he approached us for assistant, as a law abbiding citizen as i am, my reply was "no as we weren't legally train to tow or push car, but we can verify to your sargent that u were excessively speeding at point of impact." haha and someone else from the group yelled out "high speed low IQ".

I no longer drive down that street, lol.

Thats ***ing funny. Did u take pics???

Followed a paddy wagon from perth to bunbury and average speed was 160 no lights on ...

2 cops got busted going through camera with kkk hoods on and there still on the job.. :bs!: 126 in 60 zone while on duty

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
