hey guys, drivin home today in the trusty bunky commodore from the drift wa event and had a mate in a gtr following behind and i got let through as the cops were waiting about 3 corners from the entrance and checking over cars. my mate come through slow as and they pulled him and stickered him, and proceeded to pull over alot of the imports leaving the event.

i think thats pretty disgusting from the wa police. all the owners supporting the off road drift events and they get stuffed around by cops with nuthin better to do. they wonder why people dont re-attend these events knowing the possibility of a yellow sticker when u leave.

shame on the police and they cant see why we dont think much of em :domokun:

i bet they dont sit there after the v8 supercar events and do the same

I left at about 4 and there was a group of cars going nuts at the new housing area at pinjar-neves road so id say you can thank them or the cops turning up.

Import laws are crazy now anyway,we had 2 EVOs fail pit inspections at the welshpool pits in 3 weeks for their stock bonnets,Cant have holes in your bonnet they said.Was up to us to prove these bonnets are factory.

i didnt see any police when i left . they are still bastards though.

kermit

yer this was about 4:30pm or so we seen em, have moved on about 6ish when we went back past, but still they sure do give people the shits when people just go to see abit of off street legal racing and end up costing them a day off work to goto pits and what ever other costs are for the sticker.

illegal drags they should be stickering people and harassing but legal events is pathetic.

on the way home from the drift comp... white HR31 GTS coupe, VERY bent on whitfords ave bridge, freeway exit heading south. [1BDU ***] plates... what happened there? Hope everyone is ok. [HYPER31] and other cars parked on the side of the road... cops had blocked the whole road off around the accident.

thats what i saw was whitfords not hepburn

a 4 wheeldrive cleaned themup >_<

Yah I was passenger in the white coupe - young girl in an opposite lock landie ran red light and spun us 360

We're fine but she went on to clean up another 2 cars including an old grandma who was pretty shaken up :ph34r:

The driver of 4wd was strechered out and they wouldnt let us near her :domokun:

and they pick on us for driving imported/ modified cars yet they let anyone drive anything else that they cant control and look what happens a i know i will feel safer with my kids behind the wheel of a skyline than in a land barge 4 wheel drive 4 wheel drives are built for a purpoe (eg not as an oversied shoppin trolley /kid carriers for dropping kids off at school)

mmm well personally not being bias or what but when do you ever see a toyota/nissan/subaru or ne other japanese car wrapped around the tree when you watch the news and they say "we're cracking down on high performance cars" i mean you would only see fords and commodores wrapped around treess...well thats my opinion but yea cops these days are getting more pathetic last night at metroz goin home as designated driver hahah so much boose bust everywhere and cops all over city man its like prisoN! hahah

On another fantastic note they now plan to make the hoon law stronger by impounding cars for 1 month instead of the current 2 days, which will only bring a lot more attention to the actual enthusiasts that drive cars like ours.

mmm guess thats true aye N I B....i danno the laws are like getting stronger by the day hahah cops are everywhere now .... its like THERES A SKYLINE CHASE IT DOWN CHECK IT OUT AND YELLOW IT...so i guess just don't rice up ya cars too much aye i mean u know :(

unfortunatly its a fact of life now..

they do the same at some drag events at the plex and other such car related things..

just something everyone has to get used to and stop having whinges about..

yeah i've never been pulled over in my passage, despite obvious large front mount and loud exhaust, they never look twice, drive mates s13 or our r32 around though, and get lots of attention

it's pretty f**ked up

Did any of you see the front cover of the west asutralia paper a few weeks back. They spend 6 hours arresting a guy who was holding up a sign warning of a speed camera ahead. The cops say they are just trying to slow people down, but that guy they arrested was slowing people down much better and got arrested. In the end they charged him with something like disrupting the flow of traffic. Pathetic.

Also, I heard on the radio a couple of days ago that they want to get another 4 multanova's for perth (perth already has 12 out of 14 in the state), even though over 50% of the deaths this year have been on country roads.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
