l.a. cops i believe have the motto 'to serve and protect' - i don't think any cops in australia have this motto...

There is an 8 foot high statue of a victorian police badge with that exact moto under it on the corner of spencer and flinders street that says other wise.

:D Why don't people understand that the police are there to help us, but like our politicians, manage to do the worst job possible

When are you going to understand that these unmarked SS TMU cars are just that. Their whole responsability is to pull over cars and fine/EPA/NOU cars. There is general duties for response and crime prevention patrols. CIU to investigate serious offences. I guess the day that they go out and there is no drink/drivers, no speeders, no collisions and all cars are EPA/Roadworthy then we won't need TMU units. I guess that day will happen when there is no Burglars, thieves in society either.

And as stated earlier "Uphold the Right" is the Victorian Police Motto.

quite you, i have a blatant disrespect for the police officers of this state, sure i realise there are your good and bad cops within victoria. But when my skyline had been stolen i rang the cops, they were supposed to come around check out shit etc, nope, got a phone call.

Then a week later i rang them to see what they were doing, the answer i got was.

If no one calls in an abandaned car, yeah pretty much f**k all.

I mean i didnt have much respect for them to start with ... but indeed that lost all credibility in my opinion.

So lets say, go team justice

and literally how can they canary cars, when i know for a fact most of the cop cars goin around can be canaried.

Things like oh no mud gaurds, omg your handbrake clicks up 1 times to many, even tho it is supporting the car anyways ...

well theres 2. Pitted windscreen is a fave also :D

and to add, ive been canaried before, i didnt complain cause i knew the car was unroadworthy, hadnt had time to fix a few things up on it and i didnt whinge... and i dont whinge when i get a speeding fine or anything. If its fair, i cop it sweet

Gotta agree with you there. Some police are great, some are very helpfull but it just seems like when something is wrong there is no one there to help you but as soon as you DO something wrong they are everywhere.

The respect issue comes from an abuse of power, if an officer isn't impressed with you they will simply FIND something to defect you on. A perfect example is -

1. Water in window washers to low

I once told an officer I wasn't impressed with his so called "random check". He found nothing wrong but then decided that since I'd kicked up a stink he'd defect me with bullsh|t. Some police need to remember that they are there to SERVE us, not the other way around. We have a right to say as we feel. Respect is the key.

Hey Guys,

Just to give you guys the heads up. There is a new undercover patrol car in the west area (st albans, deer park, keilor,delahey). He has been pulling everyone over. Even worse he hunts modified vehicles down.

If you see a VY SS (dark blue) with darkish tint, stay clear.

I saw him the otherday do a u turn on a busy road as he stopped a modified vehicle. The worse thing is he was literally hunting the modified vehicle down through the back streets of town. And i thought they were to serve a protect.

Ive spoken to some local business in the area and they all know his vehicle. So guys just take car around this area. Anyone run into him?

Cheers

Adam

Yes i got busted doing 90 in a 60 zone on devonshire rd, sunshine by the blue vy ss. That day i just got my full exhaust put in, and as i was driving home i was testing out the exhaust, and all of a sudden i see flashing lights in my rear view mirror. And since then i have seen the car around the area, so eatch out for the car pplz

"Respect IS the Key" as ADZ said!

Respect them and you will probably not get such a hard time.

Honestly who among us would want their job?

Yeah its easy to critisize the hard time they give some guys but you can bet if you were the cop you probably would have done the same thing for the crap attitude towards you(the cop).

I think you have to remember they are the ones that get to the splattered skylines occupants first when someone makes a silly error that ends up fatal. Would you want a job like that?

And dont think I have not been pulled up and singled out either, last time in Carlton it cost me $4K to fix all the stuff I wanted the opportunity to do when got done for 1 tyre on the low marker and the other 3 nearly there but I think they have to get you for more than one to make it stick.

Getting old and sometimes think that the Karma that goes around comes around ;)

Maybe that unprovoked canary prevented you being in the same place as a semi comming the other way or something like that the next day. :D

Good post ;)

They also probably put up with a lot of stick when they pull people over especially car loads of young people on a Friday night.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
