prob shouldnt say this but had many runs with whores and boreds, had heaps of *wow nice is that the new gtr?* heaps of comments at the lights and at petrol stations. heaps of is that the new 350z?

on the note of unmark car... i had an unmarked wrx stil hatch tailgating me...i floored it, pulled me over, cop a 7demerits $1k loss of licence. at the end of the day you get enthusiasts and you get the idiots.

7 demerits and 1k fine? how fast were you doing??

..."Here we go again". At the next lights, he showed me thumbs up with everyone looking at my car, and then they floored it. What is the meaning of that? :) I am not going to race with a Daewoo.

Very wise - it's best not to race with the "Great Universe" which is what "Daewoo" means!

It's also important not to pronounce the thing "Deawoo" which means, "Your mother came over last night and had..."

UNMARKED WRX? realy didnt know cops had them as well, good to know

I'm not sure but I believe that a lot of the 'non-typical' cop cars like the wrx are actually undercover cops - different to the unmarked patrol cars. And that usually they won't pull you over for anything unless it's serious like 30+km over the limit which you must have been doing. I know that they even drive golf gti's. UC's can be in anything

Indeed!

If you are being a dick on the roads, just because a beat up 1 tonne falcon ute is the only car around doesnt mean its a cop.

Ive seen many a car pulled over by and un-marked "work ute" complete with wheel barrow and toolboxes in the tray.

those were probably the forensic guys ... they all drive utes i believe, n need 'work ute' type stuff like wheel barrows etc

question. Cop sitting behind u and u take off quikly and say hit 80 in a 60 zone in the space of 100m, how can the cop judge your speed?. I know they can get u for reckless driving if your wheels leave the ground but im just wondering what they charge u with for taking off to fast.

Excessive noise, hooning and reckless driving. One of my friend got that (excessive noise) on our last cruise, which was done by somebody else. But he took off abit fast afterwards from the lights and they saw him from across the road and came after him.

Either way, they got you for something.

excessive acceleration is also a crime.. you could go up to 80 which is the limit - but do it too fast and boom .. bend over and take it

^ That is correct. Even if you don't go past the speed limit, fast acceleration is unacceptable for them.

At the end of the day, it's just not worth it for you to pay the fine and go through the pits just because you accelerated fast or did something stupid.

excessive noise. im fighting a court case atm.

then we should all be driving a 70kw car.

7 demerits and 1k fine? how fast were you doing??

i wont quote but it was more then enough to impound a car. reason i got away was that they were tailgating me. my only response i got when i told them was...you can either bring us to caught for tailgating or doing viii0 over

then we should all be driving a 70kw car.

I drive a 70kw car and i still get pulled over. and i also got busted for speeding in it!

doesnt matter what car youre in. if you do something stupid, youre going to be caught!

obviously if you drive like a dick then you'll surely be caught. however what im pointing out is, manufactures make big hp cars, whats the damage having a little squirt from 0-xxkms under the speed limit? nothing but a ticker for something stupid. this is without any tyre screech or burnouts and driven under control.

hey Richard, I guess it can be argued that accidents can be caused even if well in the speed limit. I've noticed numerous occasions where cars and utes fishtail it when taking bends at lights even if they were within speed limits. and because its such a grey area...accessive acceleration or hooning laws have been broaden to cover all aspects.

There's a difference between fishtailing and acceleration fast without spinning wheels.

Three situations. One car an hyundai excel accels as fast as it can to the limit say 60kmh. Pulled over by the cops and fined.

Second car "V35" accels at half it's potential and reachs 60kmh the same time as the "Excel". Not pulled over by the cops.

Both cars side by side. Excel and V35 take off with Excel going as fast as it can up to the limit and the V35 matching it speed not caring what the Excel is doing

:P . Both pulled over for racing.

i guess end of the day the cops have a duty which entrust them with making a judgement call and in all fairness theres been no reported cases of them abusing the hoon laws

i have been in a couple of cruises and seen (or done <<not admitting to anything ) a lot of members exceed the speed limit ...but the minute a ticket is issued we scream injustice.

give d coppers a break...they are trying to make it safer for all of us :P

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
