There's no hypocrisy here mate, you cannot compare the two. A blow off valve and an intercooler never killed anyone. A drunk driver doing 80km/h over the speed limit on the otherhand...

Caught person doing 140-160+ in 80 Zone who also went more than double the alcohol limit. The Drink driving ban is canceled out by the speeding ban. Impound, 1100 in fines and no driving for 12 months.

Lucky for him he didn't kill anyone. I'm glad I was doing laser duties when things were quiet and now have him off the road!

He wants to contest it saying his Honda Jazz doesn't go that fast.

I thought DD was longer than 11months?

birds piss off.

And that, is where bozodos exits the thread :D

60-80K over and wasted....very good work wanker!

I can't stand drink driving, I wouldn't do it myself, I wouldn't let my family get away with it, so I suppose I expect everyone else to give a shit and not do it

birds piss off. if you think that most people on here have never driven in a dangerous or stupid manner, you're having yourself on.

Like I said, there's been no context given to the situation.

I understand where your coming from, if the driver was

caught doing 160km/h on a country freeway late at night with no traffic to test out his new car it something then maybe abit of sympathy however over 0.05 aswell, it's clearly absolute wreckless

behaviour and no sympathetic way to look at it

but AGAIN THERE IS NO CONTEXT TO THE FACTS THAT WERE GIVEN IN THE ORIGINAL POST.

Graeme, feel free to elaborate on teh story?

Could have been someone who'd had a big night and woken up with a hangover thinking they would be alright to drive etc etc.

how does that make it acceptable for the 60-80km over the limit?

and most people should know even after you sleep there is still some traces of alcohol in the body

just accept his in the wrong, its coming from a police officers mouth, that caught him

i dont know bozo and dont like him cos he posts fat chicks everywhere, but he is right.

not baggin out graeme (think thats his name) but he posts shit up and everyone strokes his knob its fkn pathetic.. cos tomorrow you'll be calling em dogs for doing you for something ridiculous.

i've driven a jazz if it could do 140 id be impressed.. bloody weatbix boxes..

What sort of context would make this behaviour acceptable then? Theres no way anyone with half a brain could wake up at double the legal alcohol limit and seriously believe they are fine to drive, let alone do 60-80kph over the speed limit and try to worm out of it with pathetic excuses.

Short of him trying to rush someone in a life/death situation to hospital, theres not much he could do/say that would invoke any sympathy from me or hopefully the judge that takes his case.

Could have been someone who'd had a big night and woken up with a hangover thinking they would be alright to drive etc etc.

Do you say this in a way to excuse the person? If so... Nothing really against you, but my general view on this: I know people who go out and have a big night, then they think that because they slept for 3 hours and now the sun is out they must be safe. I think you'd have to be pretty dumb to be innocenly ignorant of the obvious.

Also, I think that the risk of the effect of alchohol is far more severe and unpredictable than that of speeding. If alchohol is involved in any kind of way.... then grrrrr. Speeding on the other hand, still stupid, but slightly controllable in certain instances.

I did 140 in an 88 Corolla once... down a hill... so no impossible for the Jazz :D

yeah i'm trying to bash the point into some very thick skulls that we don't know the whole story therefore perhaps should not be so quick to rush to judgement. I'm not trying to mock Graeme, he seems like a pretty cool guy and dosen't afraid of anything.

It was about 4am and he was on his way home from being out at club in the city. His alcohol reading was on the increase. He was speeding simply because he wanted to get home faster.

I followed him at speed up to 160-165 which was going downhill then but then he started to slow down as approaching Stud Road, which he barely stopped and ended up almost in middle of intersection. I was amazed that he even slowed down for that.

To be "fair" I just called his speed at 140 which he was well over but I followed/tried to catch up to him at 150-170 for about 2-3 km.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
