So I was coming home along Princess Fwy coming back from Crown and dropping a friend off at Dandenong Station, and i noticed a shitload of people and cars. So i thought yeah another night of drags on Princess.

Anyways i continue along Princess Fwy and stop at a set of red lights. Next to me pulls up a V8 ute reving his engine. Then i see a cop car pull up 2 cars behind him, and think yeah i'll just take off extra slow.

Anyway i take off slow and 300m down the cop car flashes his lights and i pull over.

As soon as i pull over the male officer says exactly. "Get out of the car, hand me your keys, your car is being impounded for street racing".

So i turn off the car get out and say "I didn't do anything". And then he goes "yeah you may not have but you rev'd the shit out of it at the light and took off". And again i say it wasn't me...blah blah blah (Make note every other car also took off slowly)

Anyway the female cop does a licence check and tells me just to go home. I reckon if she wasn't there i would of been gone.

Anyway long story short i got accused for something i didn't do. And the male officer was down right rude.

End rant.

Did you note down his badge number?

Do you intend to send a letter to the ombudsman?

With the amount of sh|t i hear each night... doesnt surprise me he wasnt impressed to start off with.

Not saying it was right, but he's probably been out there for the past 6 hours dealing with it. Lots of action tonight, i can hear it :laugh:

Nah i didn't pay attention to his badge number or name, as it was the first time i've been pulled over so i didnt know really what to do.

Yeah to some degree i could see where the cops where coming from, dealing with street racers on that night for a few hours at least from what i could see.

Meh, I've had plenty of cops scream at me, sometimes I wasn't doing anything sometimes I was. It's the whole good cop bad cop thing. I got pulled over one night speeding a tad just before the burnley tunnel southbound in the commo and this dude screamed his head of at me for about 5mins me and my mate were like omg were both gonna die. Then the other cop came up and said look he's a little upset he doesn't wanna see you end up dead blahblahblah gave me a fine and sent me on my way. I wouldn't worry about it, it's just one of those things in life. When you actually get a fine or something for something you didn't do thats when you complain about it......

yeah the cop might have been having a bad night, especially if he was trying to get these fags under control

Princess freeway?

Where does that run?

Sure you don't mean Princes Highway?

Sorry i mean't Princess highway :)

Anyway's it wasn't the fact that i got pulled over, thats kinda expected with the extra attention from imports, it's more of the fact that he straight out accused me of doing something i didnt do. There was no how are you tonight or what are you doing around this area or whatever they usually say when they greet the driver. It was just get out of the car I'm impounding your car. :(

so was your car impounded or did the female police officer let you go?

either way - if you did nothing wrong as such, you should report it. If they gave you some sorta slip with all the details and stuff (eg like a fine) - wouldnt there be a badge number or the name of the arresting officer? (i have no idea about this, as i havent been pulled over so far)

Yeah the Female police officer let me go, and just told me to go straight home, which was where i was going anyway.

Nah i won't report it. Cop was probably having a bad night, judging by the amount of people there. There were literally i reckon about a thousand people just hanging around Princess Highway. And driving an R34 down there would be just asking for trouble i guess.

Yer I've been noticing lately ever since these impound laws have come into effect the popo have been getting into this habit of yelling:

A) Turn off the car and fkn hand me your keys, your car is being impounded for <insert some made up offense>

B) Turn off the car and fkn hand me your keys and licence because you won't be needing them anymore.

Upon the driver not admitting to some bs offense the cop just made up they continue insisting in an attempt to get the driver to cave in and admit to something they haven't done through fear I guess? Especially with the yelling and looking down onto us in the car.

But if those attempts fail they will head back to their car, prolly do the standard licence and registration check and then look through some books to find any old offense they can pin the driver down for. If not go inspect the car for defects. :)

This has happened so many times now that I'm starting to believe this is a common strategy/procedure for most cops in order to get more fines.

Think about it, you are yelled at and threatened your pride and joy is to be taken away, you are instantly scared and think of how bad this situation is. So now when it comes time to receive say some bs offense that isn't really true you will just accept it willingly believing this is such a great outcome compared to what it could of initially been.

I must commend the popo for great thought behind this new strategy, just so ethical. :(

BTW: Before you say I'm basing this opinion on hear say through friends, I've actually been there when it happened.

Yes, I am one who pulls over lots of imports along Princes Hwy. Handed out 3 EPA forms last week on friday. I hate the import drivers that race up and down there on Friday nights giving all of us a bad name. I know that it's not just an import issue but I was surprised at how many skylines were there. As expected and am impressed how no SAU members involved. I am more than fair to the driver's and don't try to impoud cars or make up offences but am disoppointed at the increasing numbers of imports and especially skylines hanging around there. well there's my 2c.

A bit offtopic but what is your stance on the hole being cut to pass piping for intercooler? :P

There is a thread located just under this one and we would like to hear your opinion :O

Cheers

In response to above. I personally wouldn'e even look for a changed hole etc for intercooler piping. IMO people defecting you on this are specifically gunning for you and the type of car you drive. I may do it if it was a local crook that I knew for example or if the person really jacked me up but in general I wouldn't even look for it.

living in dandy now I'll probably use Princes more often to get to work or chaddy or even a night out... had the local constabulary pull me up a couple of weeks ago on Princes to do a "random breath test" and let me know that they might defect my car depending on how modified it is...

Anyways, I was polite to them and they were polite back to me, and just told me to be aware that they were doing some blitz on street racers etc in the area and possibly use alternate routes if I didn't wanna be hassled because of the car I drive.

I guess being on your full license and being sensible instead of a "you want some of this?" attitude helps. He did tell me to change my steering wheel though, and that "the stock R32 GTR one looks quite nice, i dunno why you'd want an aftermarket one"... lol smartarse... if only he knew how rare a stock leather steering wheel that dosen't look like a dog's breakfast is.

exactly which part of princes hwy does this street racing take place on? -> this way i can avoid those lunatics and make sure that my passengers and I (and my car) are all in one piece.

We sometimes take pricess hwy down heading to and from the city - hardly see any street racing on the nights we go out (usually fridays or saturdays)

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
