cops are f*cked

got a licky in the city during peak hour

why?

because i had a boost gauge and a air filter

stoopid

....................................

they shouldnt even be able to give u a yellow for having a boost guage (mounted in a suitable position) and pod filter. when i got a yellow and had to take my car over the pits i tried getting permits for my guage and pod filter and was told they dont issue permits for these items anymore and that cops shouldnt be giving out yellow stickers for having these mods. bummer eh?

I've heard the rule is that it can't be in a head impact area in the event of a crash, so it needs to be below head/eye level. The thing with this though, you notice those huge screens that are in similar positions in a taxi? They are bigger & go way higher than my boost gauge, so if I got any problems with this I'd be mega pissed!!

a 4 wheeldrive cleaned themup :D

Sorry to go back a couple of pages, but I was the driver of the wrecked HR31.

Did any of you guys happen to be there to witness the crash? Because I could really do with as much help as possible in terms of witnesses and such.

/start rant (sorry) :(

cops do disregard permits quite often, i have seen it many a time, even when the person in question is being totally polite etc etc, they say "well the car must have been different when you took it over pits" then what do you do? you try to do the right thing by getting permits and then they just get shoved back in your face, so really some of the time (not all) its a waste of time even getting permits, they need to have some kind of code to adhere by when putting yellow stickers on, cause as it is now i think most of the cars that get yellow stickers (ie: modded/performance cars) are the ones that shouldnt be getting stickers as they are (most of the time) in better nick than 70% of the other cars on the road, why not concentrate on the rust buckets and other sHi* that shouldnt be on the road, surely that would be the thing to do, as those cars are truley unroadworthy, whereas most of our cars are in tip top condition, but i suppose giving us yellows it makes them more money, cant win in the end, as far as im concerned it all revenue raising!!!!!

/rant over

Got pulled over last week,the first thing they asked me for was permits for my mods!

Then they asked me lots of things while they spent the next 20mins going through my car...he had the defect book in his hands when he got to my window.

I bit my tounge and remained calm and managed to get off without a sticker.I'm sure if I had not, there would have been a little yellow addition to my window....

LOL cops will be cops. They obtain the magority of their revenue through traffic "infringements" and defecting our cars. Unfortunately the cars we choose to drive are prime targets for harrassment. We knew this before we bought the car and we know it wont cease, whinging wont cause the police to focus on more important things like the rise in breaking and entering or assault.

Surprisingly I get the same attention when driving a BA XR6.

after i got a sticker for my pod i took my car over the pits and also had to change the engine rego from CA18 to RB20. so after spending bulk on my engine conversion, now with the usual mods (pod, zaust, fmic, catch cans, bov, stainless radiator, etc), my car also has coilovers and whatnot, so after he told me he was gonna pull the licky off and rego my new engine (with next to no hassel mind you, he actually called another assesor over to show him why i got the licky and then show him my pod setup, they both had a good laugh and went on about the usual f**king cops sending em bullshit f**king reasons).

Anyway i decided to do the right thing and ask if i could get permits for everything and his response was simple, "nah you don't need permits". Seems like his attitude was 'if the f**king cops are gonna disregard em anyway, why bother writing em out in the first place'.

i got given a yellow sticker on saturday morning at 10am on Marmion St for my dark window tint.

Whilst the cop wrote me up a defect notice, a VN SS pulled out from a side street across from us and peeled through 3 gears up the hill fish tailing all over the place.....

Now im not picking on Commodores here, but come on, is that not what the Hoon Law was for?

To make my yellow sticker seem even more insignificant and revenue-raiser like, the cop said if I dont get the sticker off within 20 days, I can just keep going back to the pits for extentions. He said this as if he was reccommending it??!!

Biggest load of horse sh*t. Clearly, from doing a license check they would see how good a record I have from 5 years driving, but still, Its all about the numbers for them.

My gfs brother is a cop, he advised traffic cops do have competitions between themselves to get as many fines/defects as they can.....

I have the upmost respect for the law and the police, but very little, if any, for traffic cops......

Odds on bet most of the cars stickered were done so for having un-permitted mods.

9/10 performance cars that are stickered, are not done so because they are unsafe.

I have heard wild claims from cops that genuine STi wings are a hazard, incase someone is hit and flies over the roof and hits the wing!

I reckon a cop on a trip could sticker every single car from this forum for 1 reason or another and there is nothing anyone will be able to do about it. Its a way of life now, if you want the nice car with the go fast bits, you have to deal with the sh*t thats dragged along with it.

oink oink y'all!

more to this issue of cops harassing people in modified cars....

I got pulled over on Leach Hwy @ 11:30pm last night after being at a mates place in Bateman. Now my car ALREADY has a yellow sticker on it.

The cops claimed it was a "random license check and vehicle inspection" they proceeded to look over my engine bay, through my boot, in my glovebox, centre console etc.

He even asked me "what the hell are you doing down this way at this time of night on a Monday when you live all the way up in Claremont??" Am I supposed to admit that I deal drugs so he can pin me on that?

Absolutely pathetic, and its sh*t like this thats makes me consider selling my car because I cant stand the petty harassment from bored law enforcement officers.....

TARGET THE HOONS!

oink oink y'all!

Cops aren't allowed to look in the places you mentioned though without permission or a warrant yeah?? If I had a yellow I'd tell them to get one & waste their time because there's nothing else they could get you on.

if they have reason to believe you may be hiding something, they can search your car on the spot.

When i got my yellow i grabbed my stash and shoved it in my back pocket as i got out of the car, they decided to search my car while they were at it, thank god for quick thinking!

      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.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
