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!

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • 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.
