Yeah same with me. . . But ive only had 1 nice cop out of every time ive been pulled over, so when they walk up to my car being all cocky and smart and not show respect to me then they wont get it back. . . if they do show respect then ill show it back to them.

Simple. . .

unfortunately even if they are disrespectful... you have to bend over and take it up the arse from them.

just drift off to your special place until its over and its time to drive away.

I aint bending over for anyone. . .

80% of cops are good. But you never hear those stories. The other 20% clearly aren't nice. But you ALWAYS hear about those.

Totally agree, 80% are nice but that 20% is the bit that makes them look bad! i have been pulled over many of times without any problems and no yellows but this one time in early feb this year, 1 fat undercover copper and his mate decided to pull me over, then had the guts to tell me that the reason they pulled me over was because i wasn't wearing a seat belt!

Only thing is that i only took the seat belt off to get my wallet to show them my drivers license! There the types of coppers that needed to be taken care off, and because his partner turned around and agreed with him it was a 2v1 which wouldn't have a chance in court!

So wicked. 3 demerits and a $150 fine. Thank You ;)

OOoo well got 9 points left, just hope it doesn't happen to often otherwise i might not have a license left!!

fark thats badd

i feel sorry for ya lol

Nice work Dan...are you stalking East Perth Station theses days? lol

I dont get it though; they're slower than the nonsense they drive at the mo, not much room in the back for WC Eagles and i would imagine they're a little more fragile under the sort of conditions required for ops.

i heard that the reason they have started using wrx's and the likes is because ford and holden have such terrible car safety ratings. The police force is a huge customer for those companies, so it's putting pressure on them to get their shit together.

only got my skyline a few months ago, but i'm rather paranoid about cops since the previous owner had an insanely loud exhaust fitted. Once again i'm sure most cops are cool about it, but it's the 20% assholes that you hear about who would yellow sticker my baby.

I've seen this marked WRX car, have a photo on my phone along with the P plate squad car, will upload it sometime :)

Also seen several marked Highway Patrol XR6T's, haven't seen an unmarked one though.

Did hear of a rumour about an undercover magna that was enticing people to race..

Ha, yeah, I've seen that kid a few times on Beaufort street. I wonder what he'd do if the sh*t hit the fan? Do you think he'd pursue?

^^ the P plater? it was a young blonde chick..

Really? The one I saw on Beaufort street was a very sheepish looking 17-18 year old. He actually looked about 16 but I'm not sure how young you're allowed to be a cop... and how old you have to be to drive a squad car - but this guy looked like he'd be more at home riding around shopping center carparks on a mongoose

  • 2 weeks later...

from what i remember the cops in sydney stoped using them cuz they kept blowing shit up in them as they didnt warm them up n got into a chaise then didnt cool down n stop the car.. on the freeways etc.

just wanted to say somethin about the cops here, unfortunately they do have to monthly targets or "road booking" off the record to meet to advance their carer or be "normal" so they sit there handin yellows or pullin us who are a little more shiny than others over cuz they know they can come up with somethin to do us for.. one asshole yellow stickerd me for "deterring seat belts" after he couldnt find anythin and when i told him to show me where cuz i was waring a swade jaket that left some of its material on the belt n showed it to him he sill said no that belts deterring !! on a r34 thats probably one of the most looked after ones in WA !! hmm i almost hit him in northbridge but my friend put me back into the car.. had a croud around me.. n his partner was in the car not sayin a word cuz he knew the guys beein a f**khead..

and about cops beein in northbridge all the time, if u have noticed when real big things happen eg a gang fight, and im saying this cuz i use to be in lots of things lie that.. they never looked or got close they even ignore n walk away then come when its all over or just watch from a distance n not call for back up.. u dont belive it, new years is around the corner.. just watch what happens when real big shit goes down. surely they can train their pussies to be a lil tougher insteda acting all rough on the streets n getting us to race them to take our carz that we have worked for and arrest us.

crime rate here is petheticly high and if they wana save lifes on the streets as a priority why dont they invest in better streets maybe ? and widening the freeway maybe or even better in actually making a driving test that tests ur driving now to see if u can just stay under limit, park n change lines.. when i got my licence over seas it was 8 tests over 6 months passing all of them 1st time out.

iv been pulled over lately by a black and tinted new ss with chrome rims and tow bar. and seen a blue and black xr6turbo many times. seen a magna b4 but he was off duty as he was alone in the car in his uniform which to my knolefge means he cant book you for anything as he has no witnes and no speed sensor.

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
