If you dont like cops you know what you need to do... Go and get really really rich doing stuff, then go out and buy a real mafioso car that is really fast and can outrun cop cars no worries, like a E55 AMG or something, make sure its jet black (and bullet proof).Then ring up Vicroads and go and get your self this plate...

That'll ruffle some feathers. Then you'll have nothing to worry about!! sif a cop will pull you over with that plate!?

Victorian police seem to be still in the middle of an "it's us against them" attitude.

Maybe it's a left over from the hoddle street bombing. Remember all those crims that somehow got shot while trying to be arrested? Not that I'm really sympathetic for them. If someone blew up a few of my workmates, I'd be pissed too.

But a side effect is that vic police closed ranks, and pretty much formed a solid block. Not a bad thing, but in a line of work where it IS often a matter of life and death, it magnifies the effect a hundred fold. It's gotten to a level where it seems they're segregating themselves from the society they are here to protect.

I know there are some police on these forums who are great people, and they might have a different viewpoint on this, but htis is just my personal observations in my interactions with police over the last decade (both in my work and in my personal life).

No doubt being a cop is a tough job. I know I wouldn't want to be the one to knock on someones door at 3am to tell them their kid died in a car smash, but it doesn't mean they can become little despots on the roadways either.

If this guy is truly being un reasonable, report him through proper, official channels. Maybe he wanted to make a point that you were not going to get special treatment. I've made reports based on officer behaviour before, I had one cop become very aggressive to the point of verbal abuse, I filed the report and they called me a week or so later to tell me that the guy had just come from a domestic violence situation that ended up with an 8 year old being in hospital and badly burned. He sent me a written apology and also called me on the phone. I'm a reasonable guy, so I let it go at that.

Most cops aren't bad people, but their bad days are worst than most of ours. Not that it's an excuse to act like an arsehole to anyone, but it can be a contributing factor. The cop in this situation seemed like an OK guy over the phone. Either that or an awesome bullshitter.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
