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. :(

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
