UPDATE 10.18am: POLICE have confirmed they were following a car that smashed into a pole on Hoddle St this morning, leaving the driver in a critical condition. Supt Peter Bull said police officers witnessed the male driver of a Nissan Skyline evading a random breath-test operation set up on High St, Westgarth, 2km from the crash scene, at about 6.20am.

He said the driver did a u-turn while approaching the breath-test operation and fled.

Supt Bull said police then followed the man's car.

"The public know they're expected to stop at police breath-testing stations," Supt Bull said.

"Obviously if they do try and evade it's our obligation to follow them."

Police are still investigating whether the man's car was pursued or simply followed.

Supt Bull said the Ethical Standards Department would commence an oversight of the investigation.

It is not known what speed the car was travelling at when the crash took place near the intersection of Johnston St at about 6.30am.Ambulance Victoria spokesman Ray Rowe said the man suffered critical leg injuries and was taken to the Alfred Hospital in a critical condition.

His identity and age have not yet been released.

Supt Bull said the incident was a tragedy for the man, his family and members of Victoria Police.

He urged the public not to try to evade police and said nothing was worth risking lives for.

Police have blocked traffic travelling in both directions along Hoddle St.

Ironic, if the booze bus wasn't there this driver probably would have got home safe.

Drink drivers... I really don't understand how people can be so damn stupid. Assuming this driver actually was over the limit, although I don't know how else you would manage to throw yourself into a pole on a straight road.

It could be a simple case of no rego, no license or maybe even just unpaid fines, in the end his decision has put him in a much worse place.

as fur crashing on a straight piece of road, being drunk would help that, bad driver or some one coming out of a side street may have caused it, either way he is still going to have to face the reason when/ if they recover, plus whole lot more shyte they have added by running, so if ever any one is reading this is in thus situation and thinking of running take a second look at the situation and ask your self, is it really worth it?

Yah, it's amazing how people will freak out to such an extend regarding these things. Most likely even if they were breathalysed, the cops rarely do a full check unless you car looks suspicious.

Just glad no one else was in the car or hurt.

obviously if they had nothing to hide they would of either went through the booze bus or pulled over once they realized the police car was following them.. sure they may have just missed their turn off and had to do a u-turn - but a car to be that smashed up appears to tell a different story!

don't do the wrong thing in the first place and you never have anything to worry about..

^^ "Prevention is better than cure"

maybe thats a slogan they should be pushing instead of your a Bloody idiot or the pinky bregade..

These ads a very belittling to people and nobody likes to be belittled..

In fact this belittling probably does nothing but promote acts of spite...

But who would look at it like that :whistling:

"only"

LOL...screw you Paul!!

I'm not saying it isnt deserved as I'm all for getting bloody idiots off the road, but 2 years is a decent stint for only having 1 prior offence..

He did put his passeneger in a coma though..

Fact everybody I have ever spoken to that have been smashed into by another car there was always a drugged/drunken idiot behind the wheel

You mean the drivers seat, the one where the guy with "life threatening lower body injuries" was sitting? its all yours! lol

"The public know they're expected to stop at police breath-testing stations," Supt Bull said.

"Obviously if they do try and evade it's our obligation to follow them."

Supt Bull said police conducted hundreds of succesful pursuits a year.

He said while there could be a risk to the public and police members, pursuits were carried out as safely as possible.

"If there's too high a risk then we change out tactic," he said.

"We will constantly balance the need to do our job with risk to our own members the public and other drivers.

"We have a duty to enforce the law.

"If it's a traffic offence just accept you've done the wrong thing of that is the case.

"Nothing is worth losing your life for.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
