Hey guys,

I'll be spending the next 10 weeks working out in Endeavour Hills. Normally I catch the train to work but public transport isn't an option here.

I own a car, but it not too subtle nor entirely legal. It's used primarily to drive to and from track days.

My question is how bad are the cops/other hoons in the area? Could I get away with driving sensibility during regular day light hours to and from work, or am I going to be targeted horribly?

Cheers.

Where abouts in Endeavour Hills mate? Some areas are safer than others. My friend used to live on David Collins Drive, had his uncle's van stolen twice (Mitsubishi Express) and his car broken into once (Holden Astra).

Welcome to Hoon city; Where the kids grew up and stopped riding push-bikes and began driving turbo cars.

You will note that there is a hoon hotline sign when entering James Cook Drive from Hallam North Rd.

I carry my CAMS license in the event of a 'random' check/breath-test to differentiate myself from the hoons vs trackday enthusiast keeping in it off the street.

there are hoon hotline signs in all suburbian areas. not just e-Hills. and the e-hills cops arent pricks lol, so if you've been pulled over by them they tend to let you off with warnings if you are polite..

Yes and there are speed limit signs all across Australia....

I didn't mean Endeavour Hills was Hoon City simply because it had one single hoon hotline sign.

Ok so what you implied is that e hills is where all hoons come from, and also made a fairly bold statement linking that to the hoon hotline sign.

I'm pretty sure every suburb has hoons, just like there are speed limit signs all over Aus!

And trust me, whipping out the old cams license isn't gonna do shit if you've been speeding.

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
