I've heard of this before but it's always had me wondering...

 

Who defines "excessive accelleration" and how do they measure it?

Its called "unessessarily loading a vehical causing excessive noise"

and it costs $240 and three points here in QLD and I got done for it once. So nows its official, according to the ****ing cops, its ellegal to use the bottom half of your throttle, because it causes this. Well you smart arse ****ing coppers, why did they biuld the bottom half into the throttle at the factory then you tossers!!

(sorry, im still cut from the whole experience)

I got pulled over, he handed me my ticket, blah blah, and I had my stereo off, no breaking in traction, and no speeding, and Totally legal exhuast system. All I did is accellerate from 0 to 50kms/hr flat out. (twin turbo 350hp VL). How did I not loose traction? cruide traction control, using boost cut in first gear. So there you see it wouldnt have even been that loud anyway!! Certainly impressed the pig tho.

but you get that I spose.

That was 3 years ago and I have since slowed down and have all 12 points but anyway...

I got tailgated by cops almost weekly in the VL (now drive a stock XR6T) but if they do it to you, simply pull over and turn the engine off. If they come up and ask you what your doing, tell them you dont like being tailgated by police. Simple.

And if they ask you why? Then tell them it distracts you from driving safely, and ask them politely if they can avoid doing it in future.

F***, anything at all that can piss cops off im all cheers to it, because I hate the C***s personally from this kind of behavior, But having said that I just hope I dont have to rely on one one day to pick up my ass off the road after a accident *fingers crossed*

i pulled out of my driveway one day after work, going up to my g/f place, a cop drove past just before i pulled out, so i follow him down the road (sitting way back from him) turn onto the highway, drive down the road about 500 meters, they pulled over, i kept going past not speeding but not going obviosly slow.

next thing he turns on the lights comes chasing after me down the road, pulled me up started checking over the car, checked the rego, checked me licence, quised me about where i was going, and asked me where i was coming from (when he just watched me pull out of the house with the address that was writen on the licence he just checked).

in the end let me go.

waste of time and a pain in the arse.

in the meantime peoples cars n houses are always getting broken into but they still hassle us doing nothing wrong..

im over it..

guys get over calling police cops FFS....

sure you get dickhead cops from time to time but you get dickheads anywhere in any industry. They're doing their job to make this country a safer place to live FOR YOU!! And at the end of the day if you get done for something then it's your own damn fault. Wear it and get on with it. There's no need to carry on calling them names or making derogatory comments.  

We've all been done for various offences by the police... stop carrying on

you a cop? lol na man i understand they doing there job, but to pick on certain people because of certain cars they drive. fine u get some dikheads who drive like complete wanks, but to me it seems everytime im in my skyline they have an eye on me, fair enough its worked, lowered.. the works, but hey my car is so damn low that if i give it a hard time ill loose in my own pocket anyways, why keep an eye on me? dont have a bad driving record, jus sick of these poofs in blue thinking there all that. goto the rocks in sydney on a sat night, get the occasional ****wit doing a smoke show, sure get those clowns and give them the book, but why not let everyone hang out, doin no harm, all done up cars, jus there chilling why make all these people drive else where? leave them in 1 place and let them be, act like a dick get treated like a dick, but dun stereo type people because of the car they drive, because it goes pshhhhhhhhh makes u a dickhead driver? i can most certainly say 99% of u guys on this site have driven a car not being a skyline and been speeding in it past a cop and hasnt done nothing, yet if u were in ur skyline if u were doin 65 in a 60 zone i bet u would get pulled over. Doin there job is one thing, but if your gonna pull us over, pull EVERYONE over, including off duty officers!

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
