WOMEN who bare their breasts on high-rise balconies at this week's Gold Coast Indy are likely to escape police action.

Indy flashers have become a fixture of the annual race carnival, prompting complaints from some families and moralists.

Two years ago, Australian army helicopter pilots were suspended and an inquiry ordered after they were photographed flying a "show us your tits" banner during a sweep through the Surfers Paradise concrete canyon.

Yesterday, a group of women warmed up for this year's Indy carnival by exposing their breasts to appreciative construction workers.

But Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson rejected reports that extra police reinforcements will be used to crack down on bawdy balcony displays at this year's Indy carnival, which starts today.

For the first time, police are being flown in from as far away as Cairns, Townsville and Roma for Indy to help control more than 320,000 spectators.

However, Mr Atkinson said police would be exercising discretion rather than adopting a zero-tolerance attitude towards the traditional Indy fleshfest.

"We're not the moral judges of society," he said. "Our role in society is simply to enforce laws that parliament puts into place.

"A good police department, and I hope and believe we are, will exercise enforcement of those laws with a good healthy dose of common sense."

Police sources said it was difficult to arrest Indy flashers because by the time police accessed highrise balaconies, topless offenders would have put their clothes back on.

But police and fire officers will keep a close watch on balconies to ensure they aren't overloaded by spectators, creating the potential for a catastophic collapse.

Indy chairman Terry Mackenroth said he was hopeful last year's attendance record of 316,459 spectators would be broken, although rain predicted for Sunday could put a dampener on numbers. Afternoon storms are also forecast for the next few days.

Mr Mackenroth said the presence of Australian drivers Will Power and Ryan Briscoe had added interest to the event.

He said he did not believe new smoking laws, which will restrict smokers to designated areas around the Indy circuit, would not hurt crowd numbers.

"You haven't been able to smoke in the grandstands or corporate areas for a number of years," he said.

"We've got 70 designated areas throughout the track for people to go and have a smoke."

if a hoon is caught "running" through the crowed, you'd want to know what fine he would get, would you?

lol

maybe "undue care in a public place"

surely they would have some STUPID! law in their book for something along those lines though.

hehehe

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      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.
