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.

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 :)

like new zealanders and sheep, same thing :jk:

    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
