:D

'If you cant remove your cube, we will charge you for removal'

I'd imagine that this hoon hotline will be run like the litter one or EPA one. Ie the authorities need 3 independent reports of an offense before they can take action.

Not exactly sure what the police will do after that though because in order to be charged the offense has to be witnessed by an officer. Maybe just speak to the owner of the car in question?

AFAIK the litter line doesn't need 3 reports. One report with a witness' signature, time, date, location etc etc and they'll issue a fine...If the alleged offender chooses to contest it, the accuser must testify in court or the fine is dropped.

They basically issue the fine in the hope that the person will think 'ah well its only $50' and pay it rather than go through the hassle of contesting it. But more often than not if you contest it, it'll be dropped.

My Outdoor ed teacher in year 11-12 was a major enviro freak and encouraged us all to dob in litterers, and even supplied us with the forms to do it (Although he shrunk them from their usual A4 size to fit 2 per page :))

i report people littering... usually it's people throwing cigarette butts out the window. I'm convinced that if these people went to macca's, unwrapped the burger, they wouldn't dump the wrapper on the ground. I can't see why people think cigarette butts are magically different just because they're not that big? Most smokers i see STILL stamp there cigarette butts out on the ground! WTF!!?? :D :D :down:

Take it easy Captain Planet.

lol I don't smoke but I wouldn't go out of my way to dob people in.

yeh i gotta say, throwing your smoke out of the window or stomping it on the ground isnt that bad... i mean where else are u going to throw it (btw leaving butts in the ashtray leaves HORRIBLE smell) and as for stomping ciggies on the ground, i mean i always make an effort to throw into drain (lol kill fish)

and anyway, paying fines to the government for what? i mean i wud support the whole invasion of iraq if petrol prices wud be lower, i would pay speeding fines if they actually fix up the roads or kik old people off or actually make an effort to educate young drivers (driving test in victoria is a joke)

(im prolly just sayin this cuz i dont wana get dobbed in for throwing smoke butt out of window *shrugs* :P)

    • 90lb/min @ 20psi is wonderful, not so much of a problem with the G35-1050's compressor efficiency (aside from how bad they roll back at higher pressure ratios).  The issue is more to do with the turbine's flow, which is why I'm not sold on going an even higher flowing compressor with the same turbine.  I'd say go back over Motive DVD's testing of the G35 1050 and Hawkins's comments regarding exhaust back pressure issues with it, I'd need to go back but I have in my head he went to the biggest hotside and ended up sacrificing a lot of spool (so it ended up behaving like a bigger turbo) and still had EMAP issues.  I've heard various other experiences along the lines of that. At this stage at least I rate all I've seen about Xonas (for transparency I've not used one directly, but I have spoke plenty with people who have) to have low exhaust restriction for the response they offer for any given setup - basically they allow the engine to breathe, which is good for the engine and makes making power a lot easier.  You arguably don't have to even push quite the same amount of airflow through an engine to make the same power if you don't have the bum plugged up with exhaust gas struggling to escape the engine due to an underflowing turbine.   In terms of reliability, to be fair I've had great luck with Garrett turbos as well - my GT3076R lasted forever, then I sold it and the next owner had no issues, then that car got sold and it was still going strong last I ever heard about it.  The trick is with the old GT-series turbos the compressors etc were no way near as efficient as what we have these days, it was almost hard to push them into severe overspeed situations without having a boost leak or something - and that is what often starts the failure situation.    In terms of your G35 I'm pretty sure you're running yours within sensible limits, something people with Xonas and Precision turbos aren't often so inclined to do.  The "compressor maps" are "Joe blogs ran 45psi through his 6466 so I can do the same" and built their setup to send it to the moon.  I've seen EMAP and compressor speed data where people have actually set that stuff up on Precisions and Xonas which have been run hard and the comp speed numbers are very very exciting at times - like I've seen 76mm Precisions run at rpm that you ideally shouldn't run a G35 1050 lol.   I know people who have run G-series Garretts hard and hard a failure, then replaced them with Pulsar turbos as a cheap "get it going" stop gap with the intent of doing a proper upgrade when THAT fails... and are still running the same thing.   Like anything, ymmv and it's not always to do with the quality or trustworthiness of said product. I've been provided with a bunch of compressor maps for Turbosmart turbos and will update my list based off that, they could prove to interesting reading and an interesting alternative as well.
    • Just cage it, call it a race car, and then fall in love with the chirp chirps through pit area!   Also, this is coming from someone with a completely locked diff...
    • I still have an old R32R left over from when they were a thing in the early 2000's. It was, for its time, done about right. But its time was 20 years ago.  I did try and update it a while back but it was cruelled by a (recommended) muppet of a tuna who couldnt tell his MAP from his TPS. The original spec was: Power FC, 700cc Sards, Nismo pump, 2860-5's, cams (Basically Poncam A's), Z32 AFM's and a half sorted oiling system. Thereabouts 430rwhp irrespective of what was done. So, yeah, very 1990's. I eventually got sick of it not being very refined and bought a Link G4 PNP with some 1000cc Bosch injectors. This was tuned badly and I put the car in the shed for a few years whilst I sulked and went and did other things. Ive come around to the idea of getting it going again so it has a new gearbox installed and some other minor things in the planning. So my questions are, variously (In the context of keeping the Link) What other sensors should I be running eg It has no wideband on it at the moment, nor fuel pressure. $? Is it worth chucking the old ignition system (ignitors etc) for new ignition coils? $2k? Cam/crank angle sensors? Can keep the aircon? $? Anything else? Sorry to launch another what should I do with my car thread but, you know, what should I do with my car? Random photo for historical context.
    • If you think that's harsh, go experience a KAAZ 🥲 Thoughts and prayers for Dose. I had mine modified by a diff shop to make it less brutal, no idea what they did but it's not as brutal as before. The Asian in me was being tight before and went KAAZ instead of a Nismo, lesson learned.
    • From what I understand, the normal Nismo diff is a bit harsh, and the Pro is the one that behaves more nicely, and you only pay Nismo tax twice to get it.
