Every year on the freeway stretch between Campbelltown and the Picton/Wollongong exit, the Police set up a large operation at the truck stop around Menangle/Douglas Park

8-10 Police cars, sometimes more, marked and unmarked, the pull over supposedly modified cars and herd them into the truck stop where some fairly heavy handed defecting takes place.

It is centred around people travelling to Summernats which is January 3 til 6, so expect them from new years day on.

They target anything not absolutely stock looking, and patrol both North and South directions.

Even a set of wheels will get you roadsided.

Even if your car is on a trailer, if it has plates on it, you'll get done.

And don't be fooled into taking it off the trailer because they "want to have a look at it".

Best to avoid this stretch of freeway at that time.

So the alternative from Campbelltown would be...

Appin Rd > Princes Hwy Bulli > Illawarra Hwy Albion Park > Macquarie Pass > Bowral > Hume Hwy Sutton Forest?

Or...

Appin Rd > Princes Hwy Bulli > Nowra > Kings Hwy just before Batemans Bay > Clyde Mtn > Braidwood > Canberra?

Is Nowra Rd totally sealed now down to Kings Hwy Braidwood btw?

I may go down to Sussex Inlet for a bit.

There isnt anything anyone can do. Thanks for the tip off Hooks. Ill be heading to Melb on the2nd... Ill be making sure Mums company Santa Fe looks stock lol. Its pretty shit targeting Summer Nats. They complain they want people to go to organised events and not drag and do burnouts on the streets but when an event is organised they try to stop it. Maybe the modded car scene needs to do what taxi drivers and truckies do and park up the CBD for a few hours. Sooner or later they will realise the defecting and impounding isnt working and start to target the problem drivers and not the car.

I did learn that a stock gtr exhaust is over the db limit though

not wrong there

the only way to keep an R33 GTR under the limit is putting the R33 GTST on it (after a little cutting, adjusting and welding)

I donated 300 there last year

Nice blokes... Well informed.. Apparently my stock air box was a bov

Noise testing 15 metres from motorway is a tad questionable

I did learn that a stock gtr exhaust is over the db limit though

When I was noise tested (by a real exhaust shop) he was telling me that dependent on the type of location they can remove a certain amount of DBA off the reading, light industrial gets 2DBA they can remove, a motorway would mean they have to remove more!

Frigging idiots!

I can understand them patrolling and RBTing everything, because we all know after you watch some "car action" te spectators nearly always want to be clowns, so they deserve to be done for speeding and drink driving etc, but they really need to train these coppers up some more on what things are!

I'm glad my car looks stock as (only thing different is rims, and they're a factory size and mimic the factory shape, and no I didn't buy them, they were on the car when I got it.)

Sure is working unfortunately! How many half decent done up cars so you see out on the road on the weekends these days? Stuff all!

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
