Mate was at the cruise when it happened. Apparently it was lols. Cops were everywhere and got a hold of one of the maps and were just tailing them. Was an extremely stupid thing to do IMHO. Giving all Skyline drivers a bad name.

Wrecking the previously positive image that we had in the public eye? :P

Thing is, lots of people don't know that you're not allowed to accelerate quickly. So it was probably innocent enough.

Oh shit yeah i just remebered while said drivers were waiting on the the tilt tray trucks to come and claim their rides and recieve the reckless driving paperwork

a commy did a burnout at the lights 5-8 meters from where they were stopped and im not talk a chirp i mean sat the brakes stuff to show up someone in an fc rx7 the did the cops in the territoy go after them

nope just sat there with the two pulled up nissans

That's fkd.

Farkin cops, there was a situation in northbridge where I was stopped for "braking hard" at the traffic lights, accused of speeding, they gave me a breath test and flash their lights all around me car but the weird thing was the farkin cops were on the other side of the intersection n they sed I was lucky coz they ddnt have their "radar off" pfft what a load of bullshit

I don't think the cops got a hold of the map, I rocked up to the cruise on time and there wern't any maps left! Plus they cops dissapeared before the first meet point.

The guy who got hoonedlawed in the 34 had invited me to the meet itself. I was confused as to why he didn't rock up to the first meetpoint. :P

Mostly well behaved cruise apart from a white 33 who's accelerator must have got stuck and accidentally did a 100m skid.

try it infront of a cop and report back on your findings :)

I once used close to 100% throttle accelerating from the lights on Tonkin Highway & there was a Police car a couple of cars back.

Was in a 4 speed slush box Corolla though... :closedeyes:

  • 11 months later...

After almost a year, this case was finally heard by the Magistrates Court earlier this week.

To clear up any confusion, according to the police statement a maximum speed of 80km/h was reached by both vehicles prior to being pulled over. Excessive speed was NOT a factor.

After being offered and declining a plea bargain to downgrade charges from reckless driving to excessive noise, the case went before a magistrate and was promptly dismissed due to lack of evidence - the 2 officers didn't even bother showing up!

So after 5 trips to the Magistrates Court, both the co-accused and myself can put this behind us!

Also worth noting, the lawyer who's services I used was top notch - would definitely recommend him. PM me for details.

what a load of rubbish. honestly i see nothing wrong with accelerating to the speed limit itself, i think this was a case of traffic cops with a carrot up their arse! now every overly concerened driver on the road (that may or may not know what a skyline is) is gonna crack it or give us dirty looks at lights!

maybe they should actually concentrate on geting rid of cars that are in extremely shabby condition spitting out black smoke and have panels hanging off them smoke coming out the bonnet rather then people who actually care about their cars!

Sounds like they took off fast from the traffic lights & did 0 to speed limit (or there about) in 4 - 5 seconds instead of the usual 1/2 minute most road snails does in their Camrys.

& now general sheep public in their Camrys are outraged due to this accelerating too fast from the ligts... :rolleyes:

O/T but Tonkin highway has a 100km/h limit with traffic lights!

^^^this is true but only 80kph at the traffic lights themselves

FYI speed allegedly reached of 80km/h was in a 70km/h zone. Police probably were a little over eager and will pay for it :) Of course even though the charges were dismissed the accused still had no use of their vehicle for 28 days for which no compensation can be sought.

& people wonder why I hate the hoon laws...

Cops are fkd and the whole hoon law is absolute bs..not even a hour ago I was driving the misses aurion and sped up to make the lights not knowing that there was a police bike on the other side of the lights and a unmarked cop car to the left of me. Ill be the first to say it was stupid as speeding is dumb but wtf if I was in my 32 for sure I would of been pulled over and done for sure as I hit 75 in a 60 zone. These laws are shit and bias and will only get more stupidly ridiculous until imports are a memory and ford and Holden rule the streets..bogans f*ktards and a % of the general population r shit drivers but there's no idiot laws for them so where's the fairness and equality for every person if you are judged by your car..

So you did 75 in a 60 zone and didn't get a fine/pulled over and you are complaining?

Yes it is true that cops profile people by the cars they drive. The reason you probably did not get pulled over is because they wouldn't have paid any attention to the car, possibly scanned the plates and realised it belonged to a 25(or whatever) year old woman with no prior fines. If you are in your R32, there is a certain stigma, and they will go out of their way to run your plates and check your car, it is the way it is when you own an import. Trust me, Holdens have it worse then us, because most of the f**kwits who do up those cars don't spend the time and effort we do, and dodge everything, like cutting/heating springs. The only example I can think of right now.

It all comes down to the way you drive. I have had my r34 for over a year now and I am yet to be pulled over, (with the exception of booze busses) and it is by no stretch of the imagination legal. I even had my underglow (yes, I do have it, come at me bro) earth out on something and turn on without the switch, and still didn't get pulled over. Cops have U-turned at lights and cut across lanes and turned the wrong way, basically gone out of their way just to get behind me and run my plates. After running my plates to find out I haven't got any infringements, then they pull up beside me and eye off the car. Then the most amazing thing happens... THEY f**k OFF.

Yes it is true, if you were in your 32, you probably would have got pulled over, but certainly not hoon lawed. You would have got $150 and 3 demerits, and when you talked shit to the cops, then they would have started to look around your car and possibly canary you.

You get these idiots who say they get pulled over for nothing (and I'm sorry to the people that this actually happens to, even though it is a very small %) then abuse and be straight out dream boats to the police, and then complain they get a yellow sticker and have a cry against hoon laws. I know a lot of people who are police, and I have had the opportunity to converse with their partners and others in the force. They are just doing a job, and 99.9% of the time, if you are nice to them and not a prick, they will let you away with obvious yellow stickers. They also said this: there are "cops" in the force, and even they (the police) label them as cops. The ones that will pull you over for no reason and find any tiny little thing to defect you for and make your life hell, no matter how clean or defect-less your car may be. And the police hate these cops, because it gives them all a bad name.

You see!?!? There is a small percentage of import owners who give us decent drivers a bad name, and cops have exactly the same problem!!

Moral of the story here is, if you don't drive like a tool, and don't modify too excessively, you should be fine.

I have a straight through exhaust, no cat, no mufflers - it is extremely loud. You know how I don't get pulled over? I don't redline it in traffic.

    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.
