wish i could get that in a bumper sticker

This can be arranged....

I had an older HWY patrol cop pull me over once, surprisingly was one of the nicer cops i've come across, gave the usual wrap and said 'these cars are pretty quick hey'

couldn't help but smile at that.

I was driving to work lazily last sunday afternoon.

Shortly after witnessing a policeman dive out from behind a car and radar the Holden Astra in front of me, a group of what I can only describe as bumpkins driving a massively lifted hilux with "RM Williams" stickers all over it and various other "country" paraphernalia drove up beside me and said "top bloke".

following this,

As they were diverting to another lane the same guy started to yell "hey wanke..." but before he could finish his sentence, I leaned oppressively out my window whilst maintaining my speed of 60km along Roma street here in Brisbane (Read: one of the busiest in queensland) and proceeded to hail them.

I Screamed "Go suck a f**king dick top bloke" so loudly they heard me probably 400m away, the guy looked stunned, pulled his head back in his window and they drove off.

I'm dedicating this to you, the men of fire and steel of SAU !

and Yes Terry, Definitely Spartacus :P

lol

you do get those on occasion

hows this for cliche..

Im out back of bumf*k idaho today and mate asks me to drive him down to this caravan park to do something he had to do. So i roll down there, cruise into this park where there's clapped out falcadores everywhere ,with all the yokels looking at me ,no sure if it was disgust,envy or whats that doin here ,when this guy comes out to have a look at my car..

"awww, shes a skoiliner, awww, and its a manual noice, is it a turbo?"..

I thought of this thread and somehow managed to contain my laughter :whistling:

sounds like some inbreading going on in that place.

"Most highway patrol officers appreciate a nice V8. If you get pulled over in one of those, it's more likely to be because they want to have a closer look at it," he says

Such disappointing comments...

What an absolute crock of shit, Stephen Lacey you are a useless human being.

I've been pulled over in an import before, where a cops sisters husbands motherinlaw aka his mother simply had a 32 gtr previously and simply wanted to check it out.

Then again a mates mates mates mates friends of his sisters uncles brother's v8 was pulled over by a copper because he didnt like V8's.

Do yourself a favour and have read of the comments, they are hilarious. So much hate, mostly for the toyota camry. After reading all these comments no wonder our road system is so screwed!

I enjoyed them too, whenever I end up behind a Camry at the front of a set of lights my god do they take off slow, the semi in the left lane next to them hit 60km/h before the Camry did.

I like it when the bogans know their place, I was driving along sunnyholt road & a p plater VZ passenger rolled down his window & said "so ya reckon this is faster than a commodore mate? Still a P.O.S"

I couldn't stop laughing I gave him a thumbs up :laugh:

Only been pulled over once in Sydney in 9months. Was pulled over on my first day for a drug check. After that....nothing.

In Brisbane I got pulled over about once per month. Simply because there is so much more breath testing and "random" car checks. Never got defected though, but got the height measured a few times, told to lift the bonnet, "is this turbo", "is this stock", etc etc.

So I think I'm saying that cops in Brisbane will pull you over MUCH more than in Sydney if the past 9 months are anything to go by.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
