2:06pm yesterday westbound along the M4 all the way to Northern Rd...

Highway Patrol Copper turning on siren/lights at every single lane hog in lane 3, and herding them back into lane 2.

From behind, us motorists could read the moving text saying, "Keep Left Unless Passing"

What a sight for sore eyes!

Good on him!

I commute on the M4 everyday & the amount of dopey dawdlers I see in lane 3 is shocking, I don't even speed & they slowly disappear in my mirrors. Little wonder there's so much traffic.

That & everyone goes derp & bottlenecks at the joining lanes

Need more of those police on the motorways. Was doing 80 km/h in the right lane this evening stuck behind a big line of cars. What a joke.

PJ and Ravi, he would have turned his siren/lights on 5x in that 20Km+ stretch - 1 car behind me and 4 in front.

About six of us drivers stayed some ways back but keeping pace due to our inquisitiveness.

I hope this is a directive from a superintendent so there's more of this to come!

Unfortunately half the cars on the road have inaccurate speedo's reading high by 10kph, added to the flat bald tyres they likely have and the speedo could be out by 15%.

Sometimes they actually think they are doing the speed limit.

Don't get me started on your stupid NSW P plate laws... :P

I was reading a drive review of 2 Porsches, a GT3 and a 911 turbo... both out by up to 6km/h under at 100... pretty exxy cars for just poor accuracy. . Pos daily will have no chance

I have a Subaru so at indicated 100 km/h it be 92-93 on standard tyres lol. Went slightly larger tyre, now about 5km/h slower than indicated, now like the the rest of the cars on the road.

It seems like most car speedos are 5 km/h faster than actual. Funnily enough, Commodores seem to have the most accurate speedos HAHA.

And this is why they tend to do 2 or 3 kph less than the truck can do.

Makes for a long overtake when I try and pass

I had 3 cars and all of them were different, all slower than the limit, going off the GPS/ I knew they were usually under the speedo reading, but by how much ??

I wondered why a couple of time before I had the GPS why I did not get book when I got sprung at 120 in a 110 , put the on a GPS and found out I was doing 110 when the speedo said I was 120, I was a good boy but did not know it :)

Now I am happy doing the speed limit because most others are going slower, sort of worrying :/

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
