Ok, got pulled over on the way home this afternoon. All good just a random check... but... whilst I was talking to one pig, the other was taking pictures of my car. WTF?

Question; why does he do these things now?

AND

Can I ask him why he is taking pictures? And can I ask him if there are any good ones he can email me?

But seriously, can I ask him not to or what?

They usually take pics in the engine bay to send to epa, as most police officers are clueless about mods. But if they didn't pop your bonnet, i have no idea why they take pics; unless they were also clueless about ride height, wheels, ect...

as the numberplate says "Victoria on the move" pictures yes im sure they can take them, But i would question the fact is that if there is nothing wrong, why take pictures, there is no benefit for them? And as a citizen of society you are allowed to ask, and im sure by law they have to tell you on that note.

i saw some new software they were using in syd on the news.

had a laptop with a cam, and they were cross referencing cars that drove through. like an identification system or something. maybe the pics are for that type of database.

Like an indexing system or something? Well that sucks major ass.

You probably won't be saying that if your vehicle gets stolen and Police have images at hand to be able to cross reference with any other cars they pull over.

Unless your car has stolen parts on it, there's no reason for you to worry.

As stated above photo's as taken as evidence. That way when you receive the EPA notice there is no discrepancy between what you say and what the officer says. If there is they simply provide the photo’s as evidence. If you refuse the photo’s or kick up a stink they’ll probably just tow you car or ream you. Not in you best interests trust me.

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
