Warning To Stay Away From Princess Hwy Oakleigh Friday Nights


Recommended Posts

cops are people though....and some people like cars :)

welcome to SAU Graeme :P

I've got the vic membership form on my comp, so I'll attatch it for you :P

and Tas04, bit of a silly post there mate....i've seen the drags at dandenong, and if you have too, you cannot sit there and say they aren't ridiculously dangerous.

EDIT, i had the form uploaded, but apparently its an old version now...sorry

Thanks for the welcome. It will be good to meet fellow import driver's. By the way everyone at my work dislikes my car."Why would you drive a rice eater" is their attitude. They just can't get over Nissan winning bathurst and love their V8 "Aussie" cars. I don't know another cop that drives an import.

Hahaha! :)

BTW if you don't mind me asking... Have you ever been defected by another cop? :P

I've heard about him. It wouldn't make a difference what I do. There are a couple of others there that also book cops. very strange.

That should be a warning to everyone stay away from knox if your in a import if he sees you say hello EPA/NOU.

But saying that, I can't imagine anyone else EPA me. Maybe I'll back them up one day and then they would remember that so hopefully they wouldn't EPA/defect me either.

Also if I go TMU would help as look after their own and TMU are the ones that give out the EPA/NOU predominently.

Yes I have being EPA before I joined though in my old TTSoarer as it was extremely load exhaust. 98DB I think. Just changed the system lucky I was already planning on doing it.

Just learnt recently but you may be aware but EBC/ADJ BC are EPA issue.

I know, well I guess I have the best job to have my car as a daily driver.

IMO the EPA laws are far too restrictive anyway. I guess I won't be EPA vehicles anymore. Unless they have a bad attitude.

Welcome to the club good to see a member of the police wanting to be active within the club. If I joined the police id certainly have a similar attitude. I dont know about here, but back in WA, there were quite a few police who were members in various car clubs, my old neighbour back there who was a police officer drove a stunning 2 door STi and joined me on many cruises.

On the note of police disliking "rice burners" I was at a tyre shop recently and one of the fitters there has a VY SS with a supercharged Gen III. He was at the lights and a skyline lined up to him so he gave it and got pulled over immeadiately after the lights. The copper pulled over both vehicles and goes to the guy in the commodore - Your lucky im a commodore fan, now piss off while I take this Jap shit off the road.

I personally felt scared when I heard that.

Welcome to the club Officer gdogzgtr.

I hope your stay is a pleasnt one and you don't get too many hacks having a go.

Would be good to have a police escort on some cruises eh??? :)

Welcome and cheers on the heads up, me and a couple of mates are heading to fountain gate and may go down princess highway bout 10pm and 4am tonight, have to make sure we stay of there!!

(Even though well be in a VW golf :P )

I suppose we all have to be extra careful now with pics we post up of our cars, well need to blank out plates and parts of engine bays :P

Good to see a officer on the board posting, and with a nice car as well :D Come down to the meetings on every month, 3rd tuesday of every month i think. If your not busy tomororw you should come up to Shep and see what our cars can do off-street :)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
