spotted two highway patrols in box hill today near the main tram stop - looks like they were ready to pounce on drivers on each side of whitehorse road

so im guessing they are getting ready to start the blitz >,<

Graeme you're the best.

I'm not surprised they're not using it... even our standard demerit point system is bonkers compared to some I've seen in Europe.

love the cops in Europe... was on the Autostrade in Italy doing about 130-140km/h in the left lane (fast lane) as there were a bunch of trucks in the other lane... a cop comes flying up behind me flashing his lights and tailgating me, I'm thinking fark is he pulling me over!? so I pull into the right lane when I get a gap between trucks and he takes off at least 150km/h+... I was in his way and he was in a hurry apparently lol

cops are always out in numbers here over easter... yaaawn... just make your other half drive... then you can have a few cheeky ones :nyaanyaa:;)

Speed limits in italy etc are 130kmh in general.. my gf was born and lived in rome .. well since forever (she only really just moved here) and the one thing she is paranoid is of speed limits here.

Apparently italians generally don't give much of a shit while speeding, the whole "I'm 10kmh over the 130 limit and someone is telling me to GTFO out of the way" is pretty common. Even if it's the police, lol.

That said, always best to bust out the ol Camry on long weekends :P

Yah the European roads are brilliant quality as well. I drove in a 130 zone at 180 quite a bit of the way from Barcelona through Andorra to Claremont Ferrand, even past cops, and did't once have any trouble.

My motorcycle coach was a mechanic for the Repsol Honda Moto GP team for 17 years and they used to speed the massive trucks through the country, get pulled over then bribe the cops with merch lol. Then again my other friend who lives in Barcelona got beat up by the cops in the city. There's always a flip side I guess.

I wish there was double penalty for the idiot I caught tonight. Drives from western suburbs to eastern suburbs 45 minutes whilst heavily intoxicated. Hits the barrier in city link 3 times and keeps going, crashes into 2 cars in Glen Waverley and keeps going. Finally we catch him leaving the scene. He blows almost 6 times the limit. Nice effort IDIOT

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
