Here's what happened:

I was driving alone quietly minding my own business and I noticed that I was being followed by a commonwhore for a while now. This all occurred in the morning peak hour on Olympic Drive. Soon enough, the commonwhore turned on its siren. Never having been pulled over before, I had no idea what to do. I merged into another lane to let them through (thinking 'I haven't done anything wrong so I should let them pass'). Once I had merged, they turned the siren off and just drove up and past me ... (there were cars in front of them still, but they didn't merge coz the cops had turned the siren off). Could anyone break down what just happend here? And also, if a cop, undercover or not, turns on their siren from behind you after tailing you for some time, are you supposed to pullover or what (remember again, it was during peak hour).

Thanks all!

If you werent doing anything wrong..

Perhaps they had a call on the radio for an urgent job and some other GD crew had gotten the call and reported that it was nothing urgent, hence it was on and then it was off.?

OR

They were just doing a check on you since you "are a typical hoon driving a performance car" :sleep: and when they drove up to you they looked at you and though oh he looks ok. iono..

Total assumptions above...

You did the right thing to merge and let them pass. You only pull over (stop fully) if you deem it's safe enough to do so.

All part of the game of the dude.

You drive a skyline, you pay high insurance, you get unwanted attention from the police.

99% of us here do the right thing, drive normally and are decent law obiding citizen.

Unfortunately the other 1% who think they're Schuey, like to reverse quick cars into shop frons etc, have permanantly fu*ked it up for the rest of us.

The only way to avoid it is to drive a Citroen

Could of just been a prick with a siren .. Would work well in peak hour..

Its happened to me before car full of 20 yr olds in a 380 with full setup lights all over the thing (i think it was daddys car) hit me with it pulled over n they drove past.. I have to say they had been tailing me and id been playing with them.

If a police officer switches on the lights you are meant to pull over to the left hand side and come to a complete stop, however not many people do this, it was not an offence until recently to not do this.

the other night i was driving with a mate, i was doing around 70/60, it was the street leading up to kk's in mascot so it was dead. copper comes the other way, sees me and does a u-turn,when i saw this i thought i might as well pull over and save them the hassle of turning their lights on.

they kind've freaked out because i had my license ready to give them as they hesitated to come to my window, they kind've stood back a bit, they asked me the usual 'how fast were you going?' line, and i gave back the usual 'i was doing the speed limit' response. breath tested me and off i was.

did they expect me to tell them i was speeding? seriously?

you were supposed to say "hi officer good thing you didn't catch me 5 minutes ago i was doing 160km/h while drifting through a roundabout and trying not to spill my beer while i snorted a line of coke off a prostitute's stomach.. oh by the way my tyres are bald and there are numerous unsafe mods to my car".

good thing I corrected you mate, you'll save everyone embarrassment if you just stick to the script next time :nyaanyaa:

I was at a round-about on a main road and a 4x4 cop was going around. He had right of way so I let him in.

It was a 70 zone and they were doing 40 or less (kept looking in their rear view to see my response).

So i jumped in the right lane, and cruised upto 70 and then jumped back in the left lane. I made sure it didn't seem fast at all.

They didn't like this.. and put on the lights and sirens.

At first I thought they just wanted to get past, so I jumped in the right lane again to let them go, but they did too. So I went back in the left lane, and they did aswell.

There was no-where safe to pull-over, so when I could, I did (it was probably a 1km distance they followed me wight lights and sirens).

Eventually I did, and they just went over the car and asked why my pod filter was a blow off valve (on a non-turbo car) and after i had a giggle they left me alone.

undercover cops dont drive commodores

Do u mean an unmarked police car

lol wat you mean they dont drive commodores, what is the difference between an undercover cop driving a plain commonwhore and an "unmarked" police car. oh wait i get it.... the car and the people inside were in non-police colours.

Undercover cops drive magnas and ware plain clothes , unmarked police cars are commodores driven by police in uniform , if u get pulled over by an undercover cop it means u are a drug dealer as they dont care about traffic rules

Maybe my eyes were mistaking me then when last wednesday lunchtime I was at my local markets and drove past a chick in a commodore doing a massive burnout in a public carpark to then watch 2 plain clothed police pull over in a commodore stationwagon with flashing lights on the dash and get out holding their badges up to the chicks window.

My info is a couple years old they might be in commodores now , but i still thought all the D`s and undercovers cops were in 380/magnas so they are a little bit more stealthy

D`s (detective) dont pull cars over unless they want to speak to the driver as it blows there cover

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
