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.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
