surely they'd want to have known why the laser was sporting a gangster lean?

i fail to see how thats odd? they are simply increasing presence on the streets, this will probably prevents more crime itself. the ideal of police back in the old days was to have a presence around so that crime/bad stuff would not occur in the first place. the idea of solving crime after it was left to a detective. they look at the crime after it has occured.

so the idea nowadays of the police is someone who reactives reactively to situation, something goes bad cops respond and act accordingly. cops should have the presence around so that hoons wont street race, people wont do doughnuts, people dont do fishtals up the street and so on...

go on them for increase presence, its what they are meant to do

Its actually Feb...

4 months till revenue is counted up and shared around in bonuses for the pollys.

THATS why there is presence

After July, it'll die down for the next 6 months.

Does every year :(

would you still think that if you were minding your own bussisness, they flagged you down and boom, defectd you for pfc/pod/ebc

Sorry M & M are you saying that these other locations are also currently set up or are these locations in which you have seen them in the past???

They are the most common,along with the Princes Hway.Have seen them set up in all 4 places mentioned in the last 3 months.Very big operations when they do,photographers,EPA and cops in "getaway" locations.

Nathan,let me assure you these are prime spots.Maybe you go by in peak our traffic,they set up from about 11.00am to 2.00pm as to not affect traffic too much.

I got by on Westall Rd with about 6 cops staring with there jaws on the ground(big GT wing at the time,S15) cause their booths were full.Three weeks later I ducked into the Dingley International and spent 2 hours there.Went for a walk and they had exits covered on Centre Dandy and Lower Dandy.

I have also noticed a lot more police presence on the roads lately including a lot more vic roads defect stations for heavy vehicles.

In the last two weeks alone 3 guys at work have copped defect stickers. None of these are modified cars, just normal daily hacks that got defected for tyres, chipped screens etc.

I would say the main cause for it is the commonwealth games around the corner in an attempt to get all the rubbish off the roads.

hah, makes sense why i dont see them, im only around there in the morning/night.

ill have to keep it in mind now, this just isnt cool :(

I drive past the eltham / research area and i have seen a cop there defecting someone yesterday and today. Hes on a bike pulling over any car they can grab thats not standard. I saw him defecting a nice Merc today. I reckon the cops are out in full force at the moment so take care guys.

no i would not. i am well aware of the laws my car is violating and merely getting caught does not put them at fault or make them any better or worse. the more presence they have the bettter i say it will be

Very true, we have had more defect stickers in the past few weeks than we normally get. Marulan in NSW is the worst though as by the time some of our trucks get to there they have developed items that go undetected in Melbourne. Nightmare and our trucks have to pass through there into Sydney. :(

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
