FINALLY, i got my first speeding ticket in my 3 yrs driving history last night.

And it was SO stupid...

driving from city down south, at anzac highway i met 2 young kids car. Once i turn into south road, one of them who driving a nissan NX keep parallel to my car, i igore him but he keep staying in that position for "mins". Until we get close to used tyre mart, he finally give up and slow down. i drop into 4 gear and pull away from him as he is so annoying.

But at the time i put my eye on the road again from the rear mirror i reach a traffic light, apply the brake slightly but not enough... "FLASH"! there u go $17x...

other than money, i have been punished by GF not allow to turn on my boost controller for 2 weeks.. :chairshot

you never know Chapman - a fair few of those permanent cameras fail - I got done about 4 months ago at Golden Grove on the way to marshal at the Coopers Rally, saw the flash, but never received the fine (I hope it's not still on the way). :/

nar there's no need for that is there maxx.

She is heading home soon.. :)

wow.. My last speeding ticket was when I was 20.. 70km/h in a 60 zone.

Thats a damn record. 5 years.

That was in my little old slugger, rattly, had to replace the whole drive line & rear IRS chassis VS 5ltr 5 speed Commodore because it couldn't handle 150rwkw of brute.. umm slugginess. lol.

I got a couple of 70km/h in 60zones in that. The gearing was long and made it easy to creep over the speed limit after accelerating away from a set of lights.

I have had a lot of close calls with mr policemens on motor bikes though.

They always just happen to have pulled some one else over, one let me go and simply shook his head at me. (110 in 100 zone Southern Expressway)

How fast were you going Maxx?

      Good points thanks. Unfortunately I can't seem to rename this or delete the topic. Seems like I'll ask the moderators to change it or delete it.

      You might want to update the thread title.  V37 ≠ V36.  And it probably isn't a G37 unless it is 2012+ Ininiti or LHD.

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      Just a basic run down of the relevant bolt-ons. All e85 First graph 406.9whp is HKS GT-RS, HPI manifold, 3" bell mouth dump / 3" straight through fake cat / 3" all the way to the rear and no resonators, nismo 740cc, walbro 460, oem RB26 itb's, power fc, eboost2, Greddy Spec M fmic, poncams, Turbosmart actuator, splitfires, ARD 150amp alternator. Blue line is same as above but Blitz Dual SBC (before i upgraded to eboost2) and 100cell "high flow" cat. Red line is after installing eboost2 and the fake 3" cat (it's just a 3" pipe with a cat shell welded onto it). Huge gains in response, as can be seen. Black dots are a mates sr20 with almost identical setup but uses a garrett 2871 instead oh HKS. Next grapghn 466.6whp is same as above, but HKS 2835 Pro S with the larger .87ar turbine housing, the special HKS Pro S dump pipe into a HPI split dual 2.5" front pipe and the rest stayed as is. Red line is after I welded the actuator brackets. (It was originally bolted together and was moving a couple millimetres under load). Green line is obviously before I welded the bracket, no other changes. 100whp gain at 3750rpm, massive gain for such a simple fix. Third graph is my current setup, huge changes. 469.7whp R31house twin scroll manifold, twin TiAl 38mm gates, Forced Performance (USA) HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll rear housing, Link Fury+ and loom by 12volt, PRP trigger kit and r35 coil kit with r35 splitfire coils, HKS step 1 vct staggered cams, new oem lifters and performance springs, 49mm itb's w/port matched Nismo plenum, twin walbro 460 surge tank setup + 1650cc injectors, HKS Type R S13 600x300x103mm fmic, individual egt's, 4" turbo back with no resonators or cat and AES true straight through muffler + 4" butterfly off the dump pipe lower 90° bend. It's a preliminary tune with no boost control with using 20psi gate springs and 4" butterfly closed. Once body loom and PDM is compete, will go for 30psi tune.

      Power light apparently functions as a transmission error light, you can try the power sequence to read any codes from the transmission control unit.
