sounds like the sort of idiot that I, and many other would love to see off the road! well done graeme... this is what we like to see

A family friend got ping'd yesterday because his boss lent him the business trade plates to take his new car to my girlfriends dad to get a roadworthy so he can get the car registered... cop did him because the car is his personal car, had it have been anyone elses car he would have been alright aparently... how stiff is that

He should take it to court. Thats not correct you can use the trade plates as long as you are taking the car to be worked on.

It has nothing to do with personal. Believe me I know I got pulled over last week on trade plates in my skyline.

They did nothing as I was going to get it worked on

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

That's so shit. Too often those kinds of idiots end up killing someone or at least scar them for life. Glad you got him.

Friday night 3 am I was driving home from the city on Alexandra Avenue when I see a cop do a u-turn and come after me. Pulled me over and walks up to my window. Requests a license and breath test. Do the test and hand over my license, he asks when I had my last drink and heads back to the car.

While he's there I start getting paranoid.. I wasn't drunk but did have 2 drinks that night. I end up checking my phone and gather that it was 2 over 3 hours, but then I start worrying they might have over done the vodka in my vodka soda. Then I'm not even sure if a normal shot would be a single standard drink which is making me even more paranoid. This short couple of minutes ends up feeling like eons with my future flashing before my eyes(for some reason my imagination took it too far and I ended up being in jail for life >.>)

The cops drive up and hand my license back through the window. I had completely forgotten that this would have been the license check they were busy doing, not writing me a ticket. I asked what my reading was and they said 0.011 lol. I'm never drinking at all ever again when I drive. My heart rate was through the roof the whole way home! Not worth the stress.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
