Well if they stopped farking spending it on 11ty cop cars to defect innocent victims then they would have more to farken spend :rant:

LOL useless politically incorrect rant :D

haha they are in force alright!

pulling over cars in peak hour traffic along Victoria Rd this morning at West Ryde - indicating them to pull into the side street

It was weird - The officer kept picking up his traffic cone.... hiding behind the corner. Then running back out with his sign and cone - Dropping it then indicating which car he wanted to turn in.

It provided many laughs as i sat and watched for a while :)

Wasnt that deemed illegal after the guy got killed? Arent they meant to have fluro disco lights and gear on to be allowed to wave you in?

3 cop cars pulling over bus lane users on Victoria road last night near marsden road west bound

4 cop cars pull over idiots who fail to turn left into shaftsbury ave off vic road this morning east bound

line up for tickets to both events were 7-8 cars each.

Sucked in to them I say. Every day I see this get abused, regularly see the same plates do it too.

They need to be out there more often for these arsehats, their actions cause the very traffic they are trying to skip around.

in the Midas they put an unmarked blue commonwhore who watches the people not turning left, radio's to the other guy who then pull's them in to the "RBT" station. Seen it 2-3 times in the last 2 years.

Other times he'll chase them himself, almost saw the copper die one day when he "forgot" to put his lights on and ran the red.

It's setup as an RBT station. I was lead to believe the law you thinking about is for radar usage. ( I could be spectacularly wrong though )

The HWP at Valley Heights this morning was lying in wait at the side of the BP in a No Stopping zone.

Daleo's wife has a story to tell about this extraordinary behaviour.

Correct!

Interested to hear this one!

Ahh i turn off Shaftsbury onto Viccy - Didn't even notice him haha

More often then not i will just ride the pushy to work - I can cruise West Ryde to Gladesville in 15- 20 min depending on pedestrian traffic lights ( no way in will i ever ride on the road, they can give me all the fines they want)

Bad traffic is a 30min mind numbing experience that i cant comprehend

The HWP at Valley Heights this morning was lying in wait at the side of the BP in a No Stopping zone.

Daleo's wife has a story to tell about this extraordinary behaviour.

True Terry; the Police guidelines regarding speed enforcement clearly state that their vehicle MUST be positioned ON the roadway where they are doing enforcement, yet repeatedly they hide their vehicles in side streets to avoid line of sight, and potential loss of revenue due to people seeing them, noticing they are speeding and slowing; thus reducing revenue. They also sit in the turning lanes on the centre island through Blaxland shops on GWH.

Rather ironically the guidelines were introduced after many public complaints about questionable behaviour, and an emerging cynicism about the true motives of speed enforcement. :rolleyes:

They regularly park illegally (within 3 metres of an intersection and blocking the footpath) on a street corner near our house. It actually looks like they are getting ready to pull out onto the GWH, but they never do.

It shits me to tears, because if you did happen go around them, and they were in a mood; they could easily fine you. :domokun:

My partner pulled up behind them and waited with her blinker on (with the officer waving her around the HWP car), until the officer actually got out and came back to her car. The officer told her to move on, and she actually told him he was parked illegally, unsafely & was blocking the intersection. :woot:

He got back in his car & left.

Later that week she was on foot with our young son, and there he was again; same guy, blocking the footpath, so she knocked on his window and asked him if he thought it was safe or legal to park so close to the street corner, and completely block the footpath to a mother with a small child.

Asked if he thought it was a good example to set to a young boy? I think the penny dropped and he realised who she was and moved on yet again.

Every time they are sitting there, she pulls up behind them; every time they leave. She thinks it's hilarious.

NO FARKIN' WAY am I gonna try it. :whistling:

It takes me 1h 20min to do the 27km trip to work / home

I have no option unless I do a 2 train & 2 bus trip, or a 3 bus trip.

Same; my commute would take 2.5 hours each way on public transport, versus 50- 70 min by car.

Also, it would cost $20 p/w more in train & bus tickets than driving.

No brainer.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
