Forgive my ignorance but how is drink driving whilst doing 200 clicks cool?

in south africa things are different to here,

i doubt he was drunk tho, 6 was just a dramtic exageration, maybe 1 or 2 is more like it.

but 200 is seen on most guys clocks almost everyday, even delivery trucks do 180+

Australia's traffic moves so slow, I remember on a holiday to Japan myself and 2 friends all crammed into a 300ZX at about 7pm to see the sites. On the highway we were doing around 180-200km/h and cars on the right lane were flying past us going at least 280-300km/h it was crazy.

i never saw this when i was in japan.... only happens very late at night.

yes australias tarffic is very slow compared ot teh rets of the world, but there rd deaths are the lowest in the world

in south africa 500+ ppl die on the roads over the 2 week easter period

It was 12 here in Australia this year... Are the laws ever likely to change to reduce the road toll Neil?

Well firstly WOW dem south africans are, well interesting, foolhardy maybe the right choice of words, YES WOW it is AMAZING you got that little beast of yours up to that speed, I cant say the same thing about my car, but you have to understand drink driving is considered a very big no no here in AU, and a lot of people do not like to endorse it, I am one of them, but it is all about culture, SA have a different culture, not that we should persecute this young guy for wanting to show off, just kindly inform him that us Aussies do not like endorsing that kind of behaviour, simple!

OMG :thumbsup:

simple answer

Never, Not a chance, NO

there is so much corruption there that u can buy your way out of anything,

you can buy passports, Id books even drivers licenses,

unroadworthy cars can buy roadworthy certificates without the road worthy place even seeing the car.

the new governament has no control over anything,

ppl will do anything for money

everybody and everything has a price

carte blanche (a magazine tv program) took a scrap, smashed fu(ked car, that had to be put on a trailer, no engine no wheels nothign just a shell and they got a road worthy certificate for it.

the country is heading to be like zimbabwe

thats why south africans who can afford to leave the country come to places like australia

:thumbsup:

I've seen Barina's (in front of me) shake as a truck zooms past them on the highway

No offense Eug, but you obviously have not seen Neil's old Barina, I reckon you or I would be hard pressed keeping up with it, until we hit a long straight :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
