Hey Everyone, this is a kind of warning to anyone going for a scenic drive in the Hinze Dam area... Last night we spotted boys in blue at Hinze Dam. What we don't know is if they have a new under cover car, or if it was just security guards posing as the real deal. This thing was an old V8 (kingswood prehaps?). The two guys were acting like police but something just didn't seem right, and it was dark so very hard to tell. We wern't going to stick around to find out anyway... Anyone seen this car around?

"Anonymous Skyline" hey...

Well you will all be interested to hear that on Friday a Mother and Son faced court posing as Police officers in the Warner/Cashmere area. They were local residents who were anoyed with the people speeding and making excessive noice in their local area.

They were caught by an off duty officer that they pulled over for speeding and were just going to give him a warning...

If people are posing as police officers and your not sure ask for their station suburb and their stations phone number.

You are then able to phone and ask if that person is on duty and patroling and you may also ask for the officer at the station to describe the officer as this is aparentlly more common than you think.

If their for real they will comply.

Thanks for the heads up - apart from anything else, if these guys are like the ones Col posted, it's a bit of a worry. If they're willing to pretend to be cops, they're obviously willing to break the law - and who knows, they might be willing to hurt you or damage your car unless you apologise profusely, give your "hoon" car to charity, buy a Prius and make it your life's mission to rid their neighbourhood of hoons.

Personally, as has been mentioned, if they do pull you over I'd be making a phone call to the local station - if they turn out not to be real cops, I'd be telling them to stick their vigilante crap where it fits and ensuring that the REAL cops were given as much info as possible. If they DO turn out to be real cops, you probably won't have anything to worry about.

If there's a huge problem in the area I can understand their motives but geez, how stupid are these people?

there are stories of cars being shot at out that way so do be careful who you start to fire up. there are a lot of wierdos living out that way as well as bikers who are more than happy to put a few boot dints in your panels...

amongst other things i have seen out that way, a naked person walking along the side of the road at night....

so just be careful out there people do some strange things when they are angry or frustrated, i have had rocks thrown at my car and i have the dints in my paintwork to prove it.

like i have said tho, there is supposed to be security guards contracted to patrol the hinze dam area and there was talk of the gates being closed off on the road after hours (ie no road access)

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.

      No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
