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.

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 =)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
