it was a P plater his mate dropped him of at his car he drove 100mtr and was pulled over blew 0.02 when taken to the station for 2nd check blew 0.00 and was allowed to leave. The cops could of easily targeted the ppl doin burnouts. The helicoptor was overhead long b4 cars rocked up and they claim to have this whizz bang flash new camera up there. It wouldnt of been hard to pick up the number plates of the ppl doin burnouts if its a great as they make out. The police reaction was a bit over the top but at the same time last nights events have made me have 2nd thoughts about headin to coastals tonight and i'm sure a few other ppl as well. So the police may of succedded in what they set out to do.

i drilled a 1mm hole in my mbc and i have noticed if i accelerate slowly but still let the engine rev right out boost will slowly climb up to 15-17psi and hold there but if i smash the loud pedal staright to the ground boost will shoot up to 13psi and hold there. got me confused...

there is 2 ways out of that carpark the main one at the harbour end appears to of been the worst one. i went to the back one behind the sailing club buildings and was waved straight thru.

I did c a GTR badge on the back but yeh that means nothin could well of been a gts-t. Was some pretty serious damage on the drivers side tho and the way it had been left was pretty suspicious

was an impressive turnout and the cops did seem to b pretty laid back about it all ....... until ppl started doin burnouts and yellin abuse at them then within about 10min polair1 had dropped down low with spotlight and all exits were blocked. I was lucky enough to b just waved straight thru the exists despite bein low, dark tint and full cage. Was some nice cars there u dont c very often but as was expected the dickhead factor was high

this has been happenin in perth for the last 40 odd years. Heard stories of a Yellow XY GT that used to bait ppl into racing only to pull them over a short while later. Wouldnt b suprised if they tryin it again.

when me and peta were drivin home tonight we spotted a white R33 GTR on the side of Reid hwy just after Alexander Drv lights. Had some pretty serious damage down the drivers side from rear 1/4 all the way to front and front bar had been ripped off. Was just sittin parked half way up on the curb. Any1 know anythin about it?

as far as i know this ceffy is owned by a guy named Punk, also owns a orange and black rb25 ceffy seen sliding at Barbagello often.

i found the instructions for one of these in .pdf form a while ago. Try searchin "first gen afc" should b able to find what u need then

http://www.dotars.gov.au/transport/safety/...on_3Feb2006.pdf page 33 will tell u everythin u need to know. That is the national DOTARs regulations hand book so as long as u build to them guide lines u will b fine and can get half cage permitted. Full cage is strictly NO but u r allowed to have mounts to bolt in front bars for off road/ track use

its opposite the actuator barb, but probably about inline with the lower edge of the brass barb. If that makes sence

one thing i have noticed since drillin the hole is that sometimes boost will only go to 10psi, other times will hit 15psi. Not sure whats goin on, seems to hit 15psi in 1,2nd gear but 3rd and 4th will only hit 10. I'm thinkin i might of drilled the hole a lil bit to far down and the hole is actually bleeding of the boost rather than the spring and ball bearing controllin the bleed rate. might braze up the hole at work tommorrow and try drillin another one a lil further up.

i decided this mornin to try drillin a hole in it figured if i stuff it it's only $25 for a new one. Anyway drilled a 1mm hole on the opposite side to the actuator barb i was worried i might of drilled the hole a lil bit to far down. fitted everythin back together and threw it back on my car. All i can say is every1 should do this!!! my boost needle no longer drops below 0 on quick gear changes. Boost still bleeds of a lil at high revs but seein as mine was droppin 2-3psi b4 at hi revs i'm not really phased. An easy 5 min mod has made my car performe heaps better.

i got one of these last week, at first i wasnt very impressed with it. The one shown on ebay was blue anodised with brass fitting san dstainless steel bolts what i recieved was a unit sprayed black with vice marks on each side, brass fittings and a s/s bolt. Thats about my only complaint about it visually. Installed it piece of piss. Initially set boost to about 15psi on a RB20+R34 turbo. Was proabably a bit much for the turbo and would bleed of to about 13-14psi. Wound the screw out a bit to 13psi and it holds it sweet now.
