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

 

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

Its called "unessessarily loading a vehical causing excessive noise"

and it costs $240 and three points here in QLD and I got done for it once. So nows its official, according to the ****ing cops, its ellegal to use the bottom half of your throttle, because it causes this. Well you smart arse ****ing coppers, why did they biuld the bottom half into the throttle at the factory then you tossers!!

(sorry, im still cut from the whole experience)

I got pulled over, he handed me my ticket, blah blah, and I had my stereo off, no breaking in traction, and no speeding, and Totally legal exhuast system. All I did is accellerate from 0 to 50kms/hr flat out. (twin turbo 350hp VL). How did I not loose traction? cruide traction control, using boost cut in first gear. So there you see it wouldnt have even been that loud anyway!! Certainly impressed the pig tho.

but you get that I spose.

That was 3 years ago and I have since slowed down and have all 12 points but anyway...

I got tailgated by cops almost weekly in the VL (now drive a stock XR6T) but if they do it to you, simply pull over and turn the engine off. If they come up and ask you what your doing, tell them you dont like being tailgated by police. Simple.

And if they ask you why? Then tell them it distracts you from driving safely, and ask them politely if they can avoid doing it in future.

F***, anything at all that can piss cops off im all cheers to it, because I hate the C***s personally from this kind of behavior, But having said that I just hope I dont have to rely on one one day to pick up my ass off the road after a accident *fingers crossed*

i pulled out of my driveway one day after work, going up to my g/f place, a cop drove past just before i pulled out, so i follow him down the road (sitting way back from him) turn onto the highway, drive down the road about 500 meters, they pulled over, i kept going past not speeding but not going obviosly slow.

next thing he turns on the lights comes chasing after me down the road, pulled me up started checking over the car, checked the rego, checked me licence, quised me about where i was going, and asked me where i was coming from (when he just watched me pull out of the house with the address that was writen on the licence he just checked).

in the end let me go.

waste of time and a pain in the arse.

in the meantime peoples cars n houses are always getting broken into but they still hassle us doing nothing wrong..

im over it..

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

you a cop? lol na man i understand they doing there job, but to pick on certain people because of certain cars they drive. fine u get some dikheads who drive like complete wanks, but to me it seems everytime im in my skyline they have an eye on me, fair enough its worked, lowered.. the works, but hey my car is so damn low that if i give it a hard time ill loose in my own pocket anyways, why keep an eye on me? dont have a bad driving record, jus sick of these poofs in blue thinking there all that. goto the rocks in sydney on a sat night, get the occasional ****wit doing a smoke show, sure get those clowns and give them the book, but why not let everyone hang out, doin no harm, all done up cars, jus there chilling why make all these people drive else where? leave them in 1 place and let them be, act like a dick get treated like a dick, but dun stereo type people because of the car they drive, because it goes pshhhhhhhhh makes u a dickhead driver? i can most certainly say 99% of u guys on this site have driven a car not being a skyline and been speeding in it past a cop and hasnt done nothing, yet if u were in ur skyline if u were doin 65 in a 60 zone i bet u would get pulled over. Doin there job is one thing, but if your gonna pull us over, pull EVERYONE over, including off duty officers!

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
