How far over was he?

I got pulled over yesterday.. at 11.45am for a breath test, its so early in the morning, who's going to have alcohol in their blood?

And it was just down the road from where i live, now, who are they planning to catch if they're parked at such a secluded spot?

With saying that i have been pulled over for a breath test at 8:15am while i was on my way to work on a wedensday.

Charles, I've been through spaghetti junction twice where they've blocked off every direction before. Then people turn in to where Hungry Jacks is and there's cops waiting in there too to get the ones trying to avoid them haha.

Last night on Fitzsimmons Lane just near the apple peel, there was a booze bus and they were stopping everyone, not letting cars through.. just letting it back up so everyone had to get tested.

I was following behind a P plater in a VZ ute and Mercedes and as we got to the apple peel roundabout, they saw the flashing lights ahead. The ute pulled in to the bus stop at the Shell and the Mercedes did a u-turn.

I kept watching the mirrors and undercovers came out of the new carwash there and were on them in seconds.

Couldn't stop laughing haha.

There were plenty of cars already parked at the booze bus, shows how many stupid people there are around my area :D

As I was waiting to go after being tested, the car at the front of the queue was being questioned so I asked the cop how long they'd been set up there for since there were so many cars already caught. She told me 8pm so 6 hours already and they were going to be there until 4am.. long night standing there!

Does anyone know how these "new" speed detectors pinpoint which car is actually speeding when the cop is driving too?

If it's being used in a busy area like Knox and there's a bunch of cars driving, how can they be sure which one the radar picked up?

I'm from the same area and keep seeing unmarked and marked cop cars on reynolds road. Very easy to creep over 70kph there. I even saw an unmarked toyota kluger!

Yeah, they park in the U-turn lane and laser you.

Unmarked and marked, Commodores and Fords.

yerp, 6 months cancellation and $350. their getting tougher!

Its always been like that, all breath testers are data logged, if they go back to the bus/station and there was 3 readings over .05 but only 2 people booked they have to explain why the third was not booked.

i dont think ill eva drive my skyline down to melb lol from what you guys are saying we have it very easy down here.

Nah! I got picked up by a cop in Warnambool for doing a U-turn over double lines from a parked position at 12am - with not another car in sight (except for the cop car lurking in his hiding spot). Granted he did make a nice point about me being "not from around here", so he might've treated a local such as yourself with a bit more discretion lol.

Same here. I'm keeping my car in good old WA. I only remember seeing about 1 or 2 cop cars last month...

Seen heaps of booze busses near me last couple of weeks.

Also random style setups (3-4 divvy vans) around 10am and only being setup for an hour or two if that.

Always getting the few here/there.

Usually people after a big night that don't think they are over, but are, is what i would imagine they would get the most of.

I know a few people that have been done the next day unsuspectingly after a big night.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
