Every year on the freeway stretch between Campbelltown and the Picton/Wollongong exit, the Police set up a large operation at the truck stop around Menangle/Douglas Park

8-10 Police cars, sometimes more, marked and unmarked, the pull over supposedly modified cars and herd them into the truck stop where some fairly heavy handed defecting takes place.

It is centred around people travelling to Summernats which is January 3 til 6, so expect them from new years day on.

They target anything not absolutely stock looking, and patrol both North and South directions.

Even a set of wheels will get you roadsided.

Even if your car is on a trailer, if it has plates on it, you'll get done.

And don't be fooled into taking it off the trailer because they "want to have a look at it".

Best to avoid this stretch of freeway at that time.

So the alternative from Campbelltown would be...

Appin Rd > Princes Hwy Bulli > Illawarra Hwy Albion Park > Macquarie Pass > Bowral > Hume Hwy Sutton Forest?

Or...

Appin Rd > Princes Hwy Bulli > Nowra > Kings Hwy just before Batemans Bay > Clyde Mtn > Braidwood > Canberra?

Is Nowra Rd totally sealed now down to Kings Hwy Braidwood btw?

I may go down to Sussex Inlet for a bit.

There isnt anything anyone can do. Thanks for the tip off Hooks. Ill be heading to Melb on the2nd... Ill be making sure Mums company Santa Fe looks stock lol. Its pretty shit targeting Summer Nats. They complain they want people to go to organised events and not drag and do burnouts on the streets but when an event is organised they try to stop it. Maybe the modded car scene needs to do what taxi drivers and truckies do and park up the CBD for a few hours. Sooner or later they will realise the defecting and impounding isnt working and start to target the problem drivers and not the car.

I did learn that a stock gtr exhaust is over the db limit though

not wrong there

the only way to keep an R33 GTR under the limit is putting the R33 GTST on it (after a little cutting, adjusting and welding)

I donated 300 there last year

Nice blokes... Well informed.. Apparently my stock air box was a bov

Noise testing 15 metres from motorway is a tad questionable

I did learn that a stock gtr exhaust is over the db limit though

When I was noise tested (by a real exhaust shop) he was telling me that dependent on the type of location they can remove a certain amount of DBA off the reading, light industrial gets 2DBA they can remove, a motorway would mean they have to remove more!

Frigging idiots!

I can understand them patrolling and RBTing everything, because we all know after you watch some "car action" te spectators nearly always want to be clowns, so they deserve to be done for speeding and drink driving etc, but they really need to train these coppers up some more on what things are!

I'm glad my car looks stock as (only thing different is rims, and they're a factory size and mimic the factory shape, and no I didn't buy them, they were on the car when I got it.)

Sure is working unfortunately! How many half decent done up cars so you see out on the road on the weekends these days? Stuff all!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
