They've been doing it in Springvale and Dandenong of late too... ...they might have just waived you past because they had way too many people... ...I got pulled over because they were having a quiet day and they just did an RBT on me...

OHH!!! sorry...ya cass is right...they were checking if the cars were roadworthy or not....they pulled everyone to this little car park and filled it up with cars they think were not eligible to be on the roads....also the number of cops driving around in the back street was just insane...every street i was driving in, they were there...come in undercover cars, some in divivan and some in the ford territories...something must have happened for this to take place...but hvnt heard or read anything about something in the area...anyone knows why they did this?

once again purely a display for the public, some one dies due to illegal street racing, police blame modified car owners, public outrage that police didnt do something to stop it, police do something for a few days to show a presence and reassure dumb arse public who believe it, police go back to normal duties.

Off topic, anyone see the street drags on Princess Highway from North road outbound from the city on Saturday night around 2am?

Mate of mine busted over Sunday morning, said they were using all 4 lanes, people filming cars running quarters.

Said the street was smoking from the launches!

Didn't think it went down like that anymore.

You would think they would learn.

vic roads and cops were doing a blitz on the freeway (dont know the exact name lol) in between ballarto road and hall road this arvo, they must be bored.

yeah the Westernport i went through but didnt get picked on, but there was about 10 cars there and the van with a camera at the roundabout. I also seen them on the dandy bypass, boundary rd mordy and eastlink last week before that accident even happened..Not sure whats got there knickers in a knot but Its a blitz alright..

On a side note seen a sticker on back window of a car today

"VICTORIA - THE NANNY STATE"

and another had the word 'FINED' written next to his number plate..

I like them both.. :thumbsup:

I think there has been a massive increase in drags along Princess Highway on Fri/Sat nights. We are always getting jobs for it and I know there has been large number of impounds along there.

Fair enough thats nothing new, but what has that got to do with pulling up every person they can, that is just going about their daily commute?

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!

      Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
