questions would have been better directed to QLD Transport (they even have a specicif emial address for enquires on that subject) than some random traffic cop.

0 to 100 in 1sec? IMPOSSIBLE!

well sorry to put this in here, john but i noticed this in your avatar, and well , they claim this car can do it, so have a look :laugh:

I got to go give some more paper work (modification rules that QLD transport gave me) to my dad tonight. I'll ask if having other people who received incorrect defect notices from this cop will help out with anythin.

will let ya know!

:D just wondering what are the modification rules that given to u ? :)

:( just wondering what are the modification rules that given to u ? ;)

the modification rules can be downloaded from the qld transport website.

its a pdf file.

http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/LTASinf...ion_Jan05v2.pdf

there were some print outs QLD Transport guys gave me as well which are sitting in my file at my dads office. i'll photocopy the requirements for a modification plate for you and scan it to pdf.

the other pages he gave me i think r 4 pages, so i`ll see what i'll do and make that a pdf too.

This cop has picked on me before too. I popped the bonnet as asked and he basically pointed at everything and told me it was all illegal. I laughed at him and said "prove it". He then got very angry and spoke to his mate about the situation. They couldn't come up with anything so decided to let me off with a 'warning'. As they drove off I said "Have a nice day fellas". He slams on the brakes and says "Don't make me get out of this f**king car". To which I had no response lol.....Assclown!

He fined me for something a few months later but didn't remember me. I did deserve the fine I was getting though.

if you ever go to court and they show a tape recording of your conversation, you can have it dismissed as you were never told that you were being recorded, and did not give your permission.

or you just ask them the moment they pull you up if they are recording you. if they say yes say that you don't give them permission to do it, or pull your own recorder out so you have a copy of it.

another good thing to do is the moment they pull you over ask for their badge number, and right it down. they will generally behave a bit better since they know that if they do anything wrong you know exactly who they are when you make a complaint.

NSWPF do not have badge numbers any more. Haven't for a long time. Surprisingly, they have names.

yep.....wait 12 months.......

only six.....

trust me :devil:

Unless you had a very (and i mean VERY) good reason to be driving.....

you had to of told the cop on the spot and hope the judge is in a good mood.....

but Back On Topic,

So John Updates??

:whistling:

You don't require permission to record a conversation in QLD, but it is illegal to have a device fitted to a phone to record a conversation, gets a bit blurry if you have a seperate tape recorder 'near' the phone speaker

Following quote below with regard to conversations:

"It is more complicated if you are a party to the conversation. In Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory it is generally not an offence to make the recording, unlike in New South Wales, Tasmania and Australian Capital Territory.

In South Australia, making the recording is unlawful unless it is in the course of your duty, the `public interest' defence applies, or it is for the protection of your lawful interests. 'Lawful interests' is open to some interpretation of course."

if you ever go to court and they show a tape recording of your conversation, you can have it dismissed as you were never told that you were being recorded, and did not give your permission.

Nope, You may record any conversation that you are a part of, I have nailed many a knob in court using this (Not a cop but I still have to go to court alot)

Ha ha that is a funny one! We do that at work too! We have to be careful that the recorder never touches the hand set!

:) If get caught driving while license suspended is there any other way to get my license back ? ;)

Well, no cause you didnt wait in the first place hey... So really you would be getting back something you didnt have...

See thing is when you drive without a licence you leave yourself very very open. You crash no insurance at all, then comes the court case, as you dont have a licence that gives them pleanty of ammo to really take your arse down nice.

You lost it, cop it fair on the chin. You were stupid enough to not realise that the first time, learn from your 2nd mistake.

How about this:

Record all the conversations you have with the police, with or without them knowing.

If they don't know you're recording them, and they're being very unprofessional etc, or downright rude etc, just wait till they've gone after fining you.

Make a copy of the recording.

Go down to the cop shop, find the cop. Tell them you have a recording, show them the recording. If they mention its illegal, and can't be used in court, say that you know: 'But wouldn't it be terrible if this got leaked to 'A current affair, or today tonight'? Why wouldn't that be the kind of thing that would ruin a police officers career?'

Hmmmmm, I live in a fantasy world.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
