Tosh, can they really book you for "excessive accelleration?" Especially if there's no wheelspin or anything?

I've heard of this before but it's always had me wondering...

Who defines "excessive accelleration" and how do they measure it?

The law reads like "testing a vehicles acceleration ability" or something. Its the officers discression too.

Just drive with your brains people. You know your car is fast so no need to run every wanker with a HSV.. even if they want it.. I have seriously changed my driving style in recent years, I pritty much just put around on the road these days.

guys get over calling police cops FFS....

sure you get dickhead cops from time to time but you get dickheads anywhere in any industry. They're doing their job to make this country a safer place to live FOR YOU!! And at the end of the day if you get done for something then it's your own damn fault. Wear it and get on with it. There's no need to carry on calling them names or making derogatory comments.

We've all been done for various offences by the police... stop carrying on

I like to think of it this way:

If I tally up all the times i've done something completely illegal (feel free to insert stupid/risky/suicidal) on the road and got away with it and subtract the number of times a cop has so much as looked in my direction without my giving him any reason, then I would still be ahead by a long way. now I can't account for the driving style's of all the members of SAU, but I fell pretty certain that this would apply to the vast majority.

P.S Tosh - What goes on tour stays on Tour, you little 50c salad eater!

This sort of thing is easy to counter... if you see a police car, drive PERFECTLY.

I mean stop for give way signs, drive sedately, do not accelerate more than a Camry, take corners slowly, indicate, check mirrors.... they'll get bored or they'll pull you over.

heh, interesting experience bout 2 mins ago

came home from uni (late night), turned into the street off my street, saw a cop car bout 20m in front but made nothing of it and turned into my street on the left, pulled up onto my driveway and waited for the turbo to cool down...

5 seconds later, the same cop car (i'm pretty sure) pulled into my street, slows down to around 5ks and drives past me... i opened the garage door and drove in (didnt want to look sus idling on a driveway) and continued with my business.. cop car drove back out and back onto the main road again..

funny thing is.. there is no way the cop car could've did a U-turn and turned back into my street within the 5 or so seconds (big kerb thing with plants in the middle up onto the end of the street) unless he did a u turn into the same lane and went against traffic for a good 20 metres =)

but its good to know cops care =)

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
