Simple answer don't speed...

Second response, "I was not speeding"

Hand held laser guns are the most unreliable speed detection device ever invented.  If you take it to court and you have admitted to speeding then the judge has no choice but to confirm the fine, if you have denied the probability is that, based on recent cases you would have the fine squashed...

All true, but I was speeding, didn't intend on speeding, was is no hurry, but the windows were up, climate on, nice tunes and no other cars around me to gauge my speed. It just crept up on me not hard in the line, especially after driving a mini around most of the day. I was happy to wear the fine (well happy as you can be), I was doing the wrong thing, so be it. I would have been my first speeeding ticket for four years, must be getting responsible or something. That is what made it weird for me, youngish male driving import skyline which doesn't look or sound standard, caught doing speed limit +17km/h, admitted that he thought he was doing +15km/h, well lets give him a warning?? Not that I am complaining, I just really wasn't expecting it.

Besides I can't be bothered arguing most of the time.

last time i got done for speeding a had just passed a truck and went round a corner then a cop was comming the other way and got me.

cop....why were you speeding?

me....i wasn't speeding!

cop...you were doing 126 in a 100

me...i was slowing down

cop..GET OUT OF THE CAR

me....lerned lesson fast....

    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
    • Are you telling me I'm going to need a code reader etc to just change the battery when it dies...  Why did I let you talk me into allowing Kate to buy this car lol
