You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

got done by Mansfield HWP on sunday. business as usual for the senior constable. even had a stamp with his details so didnt have fill in information about the issuing officer. looked like the whole force was out on cars and bikes in surrounding metro areas though... what happens when the number of speeding fines being dished out drops and suddenly theyre not making back the OT theyre paying the force? will they just cut it or make more of an effort to raise money?

also, i tried googling but couldnt find it: the way they work out detected speed and alleged speed. is it % based or just a flat number? Because I saw they changed the rules so that speedos should never read less than the actual speed, but thought that 2km/h is hardly significant when on a 100km/h road.

Detected speed is what showed on the radar, i.e. the speed you were actually doing assuming accuracy of equipment. Alleged is detected speed minus 2km/h if a cop and 3km/h if a camera, giving benefit of doubt which covers equipment inaccuracy and the odd chance your speedo is reading low...this is the speed that you get charged based on.

Speedos from factory are usually generous because the opposite creates law suits.

Therefore if alleged speed is a couple km over the limit, fair to say your speedo was probably displaying ~7-8km/h over the limit, unless you have recalibrated your speedo or changed your tyre circumference to a bigger size, which will make you as fast as or faster than what the speedo is actually displaying.

From what I hear most cops don't bother with 5km/h detected over / flamin mongrel fines. You would have to be picked on for them to get you for a couple km/h over. Cameras are a different story of course...

There's been a push from the top that they start fining for a couple ks over

I don't understand that bullshit excuse...if the margin for error is that tiny before you enter the "danger zone" (i.e. exactly 2km/h over the speed limit), to warrant low speed fines...then why not reduce speed limits another 5km/h? As they are clearly too high with such a small margin of error.

VicPol seems to think humans are robots, what with our impeccable ability to maintain exact speed whilst looking at the road and their superhuman ability to detect decibel readings with their ears and distort reality with their minds ala Matrix style.

Vicpol's behaving erratically lately.

Went past a hwp 10k over limit, they didn't do squat.

Other day on monash went past bike cop at 20k over, he didn't do squat as well.

Are officers defying Commissioner Hill's orders or it's 'too much paperwork' for them?

I'll see what comes in the letterbox later on...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
