Good advice! Cops were in mass numbers yesterday arvo in preperation! The 34 was placed in the garage and that is where it will stay until Texi! :yes:

This morning from Springwood to Earlwood...

* 4 Cop cars a) 1x at GWH Valley Heights b) 3x GWH Blaxland

* 4 Cop Cars along the M4 too - spread all over the place

So 8x within 70Kms

Anyone would think that the state gov't needs $$$

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

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.

Cant stand people on public transport so i drive everywhere :laugh: BUT we is country folk up here, unlike you Sydney siders with your million cars in one street! :P

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
