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

    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
