Just because I have 3 points left! and 2 years till i get a few back!

... Don't think i'll be driving this w/e at all.... just to be safe.

I have got bloody 4 points left

:D

After i finished work in northbridge one night when i had my commodore i was going near the stop sign out the front of Rosie Ogrady's at 4am in the morning. I crawled through the stop sign sooo slow the pedestrian walked through it quicker than me... the cops didn't care though they wanted a complete stop....which i guess the sgin does say..... i think they were being a bit harsh on me though when they gave me a $250 fine and 3 points!!!

Other points lost for doing 110kmh on the freeway....gets me every bloody time!!

And yourselves? and cops given you hard times and over done fines?

The last 2 days the 6PR have had talk-back about street cars and illegal racing.

The public have been making a ruckas about all the noise and the particular meeting points, while the police are giving their perspective and their strategy to combat it. Particularly operation canary, cb and RF radio intercepts and cracking down on cruising.

Its worth a listen.

Yeh the last little "incident" i had. Cost me like 11,000 (thank god for insurance) and then the cops decided to throw 3 points 150 in just to add insult to injury.:D

Oh well dont need to speed this weekend. Gonna get all my rocks off on the track and i might even be able to try out my new "intermediate" throttle control skills:D

3 levels of throttle control by Shaun,

Beginner: floor all the way up till hittin of curb

I understand the public being annoied at the level of noise at some re-group or meet points. There are some absolute tools out there who think that blasting their 130db sound system or revving their engine whilsts parked/stationary is cool.

What I do not agree with is cops cracking down on cruising. What gives them the right to target a group of rosd users who choose to drive together? What gives them the right to tell us where and when we can drive, afterall, who is it that pays for the roads and for govt. (Police - Transport Dept.) departments???

Sure, crack down on street racing, but for people that are crusing on public roads and not doing anything illegal...get stuffed.

:D

I agree with you HKS. But what the constable was saying was that people usually use the cruise to meet up with others and race during or after the cruise. I totally disagree with this.

Anyway, he went on to say that he knows that not everyone behind the wheel of a performance vehicle will be a problem on the roads, but the nature of the crackdown will be aimed at everyone. He said that it will be unfortunate for those who are innocent but they will keep a hardline on this. How unfair is that?

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
