Spotted: 5 of 15 Police vehicles in Jerra 2night 11.pm. Tracking some undesirable. Spoke to the Constable near my roundabout to get the goss. Thought I was a gonner on the first circle 2 Pursuit cars, got to the big circle saw 1 4WD hiding, started to worry a bit then got to my circle and saw 1 paddy wagon and a red pursuit car.

Stopped for a chat as it was getting weird with no RBT and not pulled over. Nice guys when there not huntin you down. Spoke to him about the other exit which they didn't seem to be aware of so he was straight on the police radio.

Also hear Illegal street racing in Hume and Braddon this evening getting broken up. Hope none of you guys were out.

Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

canberra in general is pretty good, esp compared to places like sydney, i have a very good alarm on my car, and for those that have seen where i keep it you'd agree its very hard to steal, but it still happens and if they are good enough they'll get it. think about it, you can have the best alarm possible have it in a very hard to steal position and they can just break a window, storm into your house at night, point a gun to your head and tell you to hand over the keys. security doesnt mean sh*t in alot of cases, its just a deterrant. which reminds me, i'd better go put those bars on the windows.

Yeah, thats what i thought to, but obviously i was wrong there.. still not sure what they were doing 100% but i cant really worry that much anymore, if they come next time im sure they wont be leaving again! Not until they explain themselves...

anyone able to tell me what a good alarm is, say one with some mad sensors, and maybe a pager telling you whats going on when your car gets broke into?? I've seen those ones that beep as you get closer, what about them??

Hey True - quite happy with mine.

I have the same immobiliser and it satisfies me and the Insurance company.

The trackers, in my opinion, are over accessorising for what we have. Flash as boast factor. While your at it you can get the remote engine starter installed too.

Obviously GPS and they call you for various reasons. You can stop your car from running by your mobile. If you lend it to someone it can call you if they go over your predermined speed limit (then u can shut em down).

EasyTracker + QuickTracker. I am told Easytracker works in the ACT but Quicktracker is not guaranteed too. Cost for these units used to be between $1-2K with an Immobiliser.

Me personally I'd rather spend my money elsewhere on my line. But if I had a Ferrari etc....- Hell Yeah!

Anyone able to hook me up with an SAU sticker??

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
