Next time you have the police following you, just pull in to the next servo or McDonalds/whatever.  Either it will force them to do something or they will piss off.  It can be a bit of a hassle but I'd rather waste 2 minutes than have to drive with 1 and 1/2 eyes on the speedo.

A friend did this and the police followed them into the maccs and stoped them and ask him to pop the bonnet and they defected him for the POD.

That's the point though: if they are going to follow you in to Maccas, they are going to follow you as long as they can to get you for some dicky speeding or traffic infringement and even if you do nothing wrong, I'll bet they will still pull you over to give the car the once over.

i get plenty of "incidents" while driving my HR31 GTS-x.

Had a dead stock hyundai excel try to race me. I just laughed and keapt driving casually. When he/she began to slow down, i shifted down and gave them a nice ear-full (fealt like being a bastard that day).

I'd type up some more, but im too tired to remember :) and the alcohol is beggining to flow in my veins

Also get those "fully sicks" in their swifts or what ever with a cannon muffler and chromes who try and cruise with you and eventually race you, thinking their car is done up or something, which i always find funny.

I had a 4wd incident on the day I got my car. I purchased my car from Autostyle and was driving home. I live in St Ives so I go up King Georges Rd, past Homebush under the Pacific highway, it becomes Mona Vale Rd and I follow it all the way to St Ives. I was going under the Pacific Highway in the left of two lanes. Now just past the under bridge heading towards St Ives a 3rd lane starts on the left which is the down ramp from the highway. A driver of a 4wd coming down the down ramp from the highway didn’t even look and without indicating started to change lanes. His wheels would have come within about 5cm of my door before I saw what was going on. I looked right of me and saw no one was there and swerved into the far right lane. If someone was there I would have been rooted. I jumped on my horn and the driver with his whole family in the car let go of the wheel and almost lost control swerving back into his lane and nearly running up the gutter.

Happens to me twice a week. I just change to the right hand lane now, without thinking about it.

  • 3 months later...

every one seems to wanna climb up my arse and then swerves round me cause i aint doing the speed they want to do ...

and the cops seem to wanna follow me like a lost dog ... i swear its bad enough with my parents telling me wot to do but to keep an eye on the cops as well is annoying and 1 and 1/2 eyes on the speedo

Traffic Lights are bad for me.

Every "hotted up" car tries to race me. Fromt stock Dihatsu Charades to R8 HSV Clubsports.

Had a few Rexy's rev at the lights aswell.

I'm so over it, I rev back, and take off normally, don't even bother. They get their 3 second thrill and then realise that Im building up to the speed limit.

Thats so true, my last race was against an s2000 , he learnt that our cars are faster the hard way B)

nearly got t boned tonight coming home from bondi, stupid girl without even looking ran a red light (i was going through the green) i saw it coming so started to brake and avoid so i was not going to hit her and in the meantime she realised a bit too late and ended up one lane into the path of oncoming cars after locking up.

the look on her face(OH F..**!!!!!!!!!) when she realised what was happening and was looking right at me through my windscreen sort of made it better :P

was she cute??? :P

yeh tell me about these hoons......

i have had my R32 for about 1 week and for the 3 days it was running i had about 3 people try to race me at the lights.........like wats the point of racing on the streets in 60 zones :P

A friend did this and the police followed them into the maccs and stoped them and ask him to pop the bonnet and they defected him for the POD.

can u just do the drive through in maccs and buy a coffee or something, so they cant get u to pop ur bonnet mid way in the drive through can they?

I couldnt agree more with fraser, bout the road rage thats happening, I grive my R32 GTR once every fortnight and then, i like to enjoy my drive and not worry bout others cutting me off etc. I had a great run with the new SSZ ute, on the city west link heading away from norton street liechardht, i pulled up to the lights and noticed the ssz pulled up, older guy 35 or so, started revving the engine, but i didnt think anything of it,

The lights went green, hes goonnnnne, so i took off after him, hes revving the shit out of it, redline to cut out, i snapped 2nd, blew him stupid, at which time im 2 bus lenghts away, then we r approaching the anzac bridge tunneland he punches it again, once again i got surprised , take off, 2nd, 3rd, at which time, im sitting on 190km at the crest of the bridge then hit 4th, and hopeing that cops arent sitting on the other side, ssz boy decides to pull up next to me once we hit the fish markets and said " i had you at the lights " to which i replied, " you've got no chance, you granny shift ? to which he got ripped and drove into the city, and i turned left onto the harbour bridge, So i dedicate the rego of SSZETA to all ss ute drivers ( I used to wn one also, so i know how the go ).

Is this the kind of post to be boasting about??? The reputation of all import performance car owners is jeopardised by this kind of pimple headed, backward baseball cap wearing tripe. If you want to race at these speeds, I highly recommend WSID or a track day, not through suburban streets. These forums are regularly browsed by Mr Plog and this kind of stuff just adds more justification for them to make life more difficult to all of us. Next time you have the urge to drive like a boy racer, can you let us all know so we can park our machines and stay right out of your way.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
