I met up with this girl that I met through a mutual friend last night for a few drinks in the city. We grabbed dinner at Longrain. Great place for a date because you can't make a booking, you have to turn up and wait for a table and there's a nice bar on the other side of the restaurant where they make some awesome ****tails. Knowing I was driving, I only had one ****tail before dinner and then alternated Vodka/Sodas with glasses of water... Food was great as usual and had a great night... No details you horny biatches!!! :slap:

So anyway, I was driving her home after dinner and got hit by an RBT on New South Head Road in front of Rushcutters Bay Park... I though I'd be fine because I paced myself all night and wasn't feeling drunk at all... Just eager to get back to her place.

I lit up the breathalyzer with a 0.12 reading, which apparently puts me in the "Mid Range" offence... I have no idea what I can do about this :( I'm like the biggest advocate of drink driving out of all my friends, always saying that only retards drive whilst drunk, but I honestly didn't feel drunk at all!!! ;)

The officer said that the mid-range reading comes with an automatic 6 month suspension and possible 9 month gaol term :rofl::D;):(

Fark guys, please help me out... Does anyone know of any good DUI Lawyers? This is obviously my first offence :(

OMFG that sucks man, are you sure you didn't have like bits of alcohol in your mouth and blow that into it? 0.12 is pretty hight considering you didn't think you drank that much...

thats seriously farked man...

sorry to hear it - definatly seek out a lawyer, probably can't get you off but, may be able to get it reduced a little.

Merli my mate got done in Vic he blew really high because the alcohol was fresh in his breath as he had just finished a bourban can before getting in the car.

They took him to the station, waited 20mins and breathoed him again.. and he was like 0.02

did they allow you to wait this time and breatho you again? you might have something there, depending on when your last drink was.

Sorry to hear mate :(

i just had to read that it was posted by merli, looked at the calender n shook my head in such dissapointment

u could have at least held off for half the day :(

"The officer said that the mid-range reading comes with an automatic 6 month suspension and possible 9 month gaol term "

please, i somehow dont think this happens when ppl blow this all the time

or else the gaol would be full of drunken loonies

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
