" ACT Policing continued its high-priority patrols for street racers on Friday night, dispersing a large group of drivers gathered in Hume.

Frequent checks were made on the Federal Highway and around the streets of Braddon and Mitchell, other well-known hotspots for hoon behaviour.

Traffic Operations manager Sergeant Jeff Knight said police were acting on information received on Thursday, which warned of possible street racing on the Federal Highway, between the roundabout at the top of Antill Street, Watson, and Eagle Hawk.

Along with marked and unmarked cars, Operation Halite detectives were patrolling these areas gathering intelligence, including video surveillance.

No-one was booked for street racing offences on Friday night or yesterday morning, an ACT Policing spokesman said. However, the lack of cooperation from certain people in Hume at about 10.30pm, when asked to move on, almost saw the defect team called out.

Sergeant Knight said burnouts and street racing went hand in hand, but the former was a bigger problem in Canberra. "I'm putting together a strategy at the moment, which will include a lot of things including technology, and we're really going to hit 'em hard."

Part of that strategy involved 19 of his traffic squad members, who were each assigned a sector of Canberra that they must take ownership of, and patrol at least once a shift.

There would be covert surveillance and a dedicated team to concentrate on burnouts, while he also called on residents to phone through information about offenders, such as vehicle registration details.

Police have powers to seize a vehicle involved in burnouts or street racing for up to three months for a first offence, while a repeat offender could forfeit his or her car altogether."

Interesting...

Thanks for the heads up.

Let's just hope they don't go crazy with Operation Halite and nip every little gathering that happens on a Friday night simply because a group of nice cars meets up.

and on what grounds can they have to ask you to move on?

if we were a group of 50 yr old, austin martin, enthusiasts, quietly chatting about our cars, would they tell us to leave? i dont think so.

im pretty happy to do what im told when it comes to police, but its one thing i wont put up with and if push comes to shove i'll be refusing and telling them where they can go.

so yes, i will be ruining it for everybody!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high?
