" ACT Policing continued its high-priority patrols for street racers on Friday night, dispersing a large group of drivers gathered in Hume.

Frequent checks were made on the Federal Highway and around the streets of Braddon and Mitchell, other well-known hotspots for hoon behaviour.

Traffic Operations manager Sergeant Jeff Knight said police were acting on information received on Thursday, which warned of possible street racing on the Federal Highway, between the roundabout at the top of Antill Street, Watson, and Eagle Hawk.

Along with marked and unmarked cars, Operation Halite detectives were patrolling these areas gathering intelligence, including video surveillance.

No-one was booked for street racing offences on Friday night or yesterday morning, an ACT Policing spokesman said. However, the lack of cooperation from certain people in Hume at about 10.30pm, when asked to move on, almost saw the defect team called out.

Sergeant Knight said burnouts and street racing went hand in hand, but the former was a bigger problem in Canberra. "I'm putting together a strategy at the moment, which will include a lot of things including technology, and we're really going to hit 'em hard."

Part of that strategy involved 19 of his traffic squad members, who were each assigned a sector of Canberra that they must take ownership of, and patrol at least once a shift.

There would be covert surveillance and a dedicated team to concentrate on burnouts, while he also called on residents to phone through information about offenders, such as vehicle registration details.

Police have powers to seize a vehicle involved in burnouts or street racing for up to three months for a first offence, while a repeat offender could forfeit his or her car altogether."

Interesting...

Thanks for the heads up.

Let's just hope they don't go crazy with Operation Halite and nip every little gathering that happens on a Friday night simply because a group of nice cars meets up.

and on what grounds can they have to ask you to move on?

if we were a group of 50 yr old, austin martin, enthusiasts, quietly chatting about our cars, would they tell us to leave? i dont think so.

im pretty happy to do what im told when it comes to police, but its one thing i wont put up with and if push comes to shove i'll be refusing and telling them where they can go.

so yes, i will be ruining it for everybody!

      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.
