How many old rusted out cars do you think they took off the road to make it safer for the rest us.

None ...of course.

Just another reminder that modified cars are the scapegoat for our road's problems. Own a modded car - expect to be hassled. If you stay away from trouble, you should stay out of trouble. I haven't been to Aspley Macca's or Harry's (do these still exist??) for a few years and hence havent had any cop trouble for a few years. Although, i dont know if you could have avoided it if you were just coming home from a day on the beach last night.

actually id hope i was there last night, i got nothing illegal on my car, and i do wanna see their faces when they could not give me a fine.....

and i agree, the amount of dangerous cars on the road nowadays is terrible, and most of them are actually those commodores with no brake lights.....

IM KAOS was just minding his own business but was not impounded by police as the story stated.. voluntarily put his car on the tow truck after receiving 7 defects and a big yellow sticker across his window!!

can u actually take legal action against chanel 9 for giving out the number plate and giving wrong info??

frank,

doesn't matter if you have nothing illegal on your car... they will still find something to fine you for...

when i was sent to the pits at pineapple street a while back, there was a girl there in a brand new SS Commodore Ute... she had literally driven it off the showroom floor that morning, yet they still sent her to the pits... she had a fine/defect, but i can't remember what it was for...

Got pulled up on the m1 a couple of weeks back when we looking for the fun club with some mates, cop made me pop the bonnet and boot, fully searched the car and found nothing, couldnt give me a fine either cos my car is pretty much stock :laugh:

well, if he has a yellow sticker across his window... i assume that its a defective vehicle one which means the car cant be driven, so he didnt really voluntariary put it on a tow truck...

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
