Went to BWCP tonight for the first time (I.hate.rain).

When we were leaving.. well some fu*kwit yelling out "your skylines shit" or something to me, but apart from that.. my mate who was in front of me in his silver R33 GTST, launched it onto the road breaking traction etc etc.. anyway I was a fair bit behind at this stage lol (250rwkw vs 100kwatw? lol) but after about 500m or so I see a cop car with its lights on come from nowhere behind me so I got into the left lane to let it past.

There was another car in front of me that was still in the right hand lane, it went to merge into the left hand lane but at the same time the cop decided to move into the left hand lane, almost cleaned it up lol.

Then he passed my mates WRX so I knew he was going after the GTST.

My mate is still changing lanes getting through traffic and at this stage I'm starting to think he's gonna do a runner! lol

Anyway we all turn left after the bridge and my mate pulls into some carpark near the water.

Both the cops get out of the car and approach my mates GTST.

Cops are taking aaaaaages and have the spotlight out and then get them out of the car and we see the cops talking to my mate and his passenger and writing shit in some book, we all thought they were writing them a ticket, driver for obvious reasons and passenger for drinking.

Anyway cops are there for at least 15mins and eventually they drive off and my mate comes over and starts saying he got a $1400 fine lol but he was just BS, apparently the cops were mad c*nts and let them both off, just took their details down. Cop also said he could've defected him for the BOV, exhaust and a few other things but that he couldn't be bothered lol.. Asked my mate where he was from and the cops like "i used to work there, its a f**king hole ay" and shit like that lol.. mate said the cop was swearing heaps and said "usually i cant f**kin swear cause the rich c**ts around here complain" or something like that.. haha

I think my mate said one of the cops has a 400hp or kw falcon or something? I dunno I cant remember.

Anyone been pulled over by these officers? Are they an exception to the norm?

Just have to treat them like people, and make them think they are above god (very hard to do both) But Im always out of the car with my licence out ready to great them before they have got out and said 'hello hello hello' in their copper voice. They are normally pretty good then, as they know I understand I have stuffed up bad, just want to get it over and done with, so they are normally pretty good.

This is unless you get the 2 hawian shirt guys from back in the day. They are just arses.

haha, when i was in victoria i was going for a bit of sideways action around a nice corner, really lighting it up, late at night i didnt think anybody else was around.. 2 streets later blue and red so I pulled over, the cop made me pop the hood and pointed out the bov, intercooler and pod (different victorian rules) then also pointed out that the exhaust was too loud, on top of dangerous driving and some other things.. then he went to check my license, and goes "ahh, brisbane boy hey.. shorncliffe.. i was from sandgate.. " then it turned out he went to the same highschool as me, and after he found out i was in the army he just told me to get the illigal mods sorted and not to get caught again.. haha, ahh well, i guess its true about it all depends on who you get ;)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The engine stuff is Greg Autism to the Max. I contacted Tony Mamo previously from AFR who went off to make his own company to further refine AFR heads. He is a wizard in US LS world. Pretty much the best person on earth who will sell you things he's done weird wizard magic to. The cam spec is not too different. I have a 232/234 .600/603 lift, 114LSA cam currently. The new one is 227/233 .638 .634. The 1.8 ratio roller rockers will effectively push this cam into the ~.670 range. These also get Mamo'ified to be drilled out and tapped to use a 10mm bolt over an 8mm for better stability. This is what lead to the cam being specced. The plan is to run it to 6800. (6600 currently). The Johnson lifters are to maintain proper lift at heavy use which is something the LS7's supposedly fail at and lose a bit of pressure, robbing you of lift at higher RPM. Hollow stem valves for better, well everything, Valve train control. I dunno. Hollow is better. The valves are also not on a standard valve angle. Compression ratio is going from 10.6 to 11.3. The cam is smaller, but also not really... The cam was specced when I generated a chart where I counted the frames of a lap video I had and noted how much of the time in % I spent at what RPM while on track at Sandown. The current cam/heads are a bit mismatched, the standard LS1 heads are the restriction to power, which is why everyone CNC's them to get a pretty solid improvement. Most of the difference between LS1->LS2->LS3 is really just better stock heads. The current cam is falling over about 600rpm earlier than it 'should' given the rest of my current setup. CNC'ing heads closes the gap with regards to heads. Aftermarket heads eliminate the gap and go further. The MMS heads go even further than that, and the heads I have in the box could quite easily be bolted to a 7.0 427ci or 454 and not be any restriction at all. Tony Mamo previously worked with AFR, designed new heads from scratch then eventually founded his own business. There he takes the AFR items and performs further wizardry, CNC'ing them and then manually porting the result. He also ports the FAST102 composite manifold: Before and after There's also an improved racing crank scraper and windage tray. Helps to keep oil in the pan. Supposedly gains 2% power. Tony also ports Melling oil pumps, so you get more oil pressure down low at idle, and the same as what you want up top thanks to a suitable relief spring. There's also the timing chain kit with a Torrington bearing to make sure the cam doesn't have any thrust. Yes I'll post a before and after when it all eventually goes together. It'll probably make 2kw more than a setup that would be $15,000 cheaper :p

      Because the cars wheels are on blocks, you slide under the car.   Pretty much all the bolts you touched should have been put in, but not fully torque up.   Back them off a turn or two, and then tighten them up from under the car with the wheels sitting on the blocks holding car up in the air.

      Yes. Imagine you have the car on the ground, and you mine away all the ground under and around it, except for the area directly under each individual wheel. That's exactly how it'd look, except the ground will be what ever you make the bit under each wheel from

      Yes, if you set the "height" right so that it's basically where it would be when sitting on the wheel. It's actually exactly how I tighten bolts that need to be done that way. However....urethane bushes do NOT need to be done that way. The bush slides on both the inner and outer. It's only rubber bushes that are bonded to the outer that need to be clamped to the crush tube in the "home" position. And my car is so full of sphericals now that I have very few that I need to do properly and I sometimes forget and have to go back and fix it afterwards!
