the car they were going over was a street registered cefiro (that the corporal did the demo laps in), there was a silvia behind it, the driver was still being drug / alcohol tested

don't know if Simon was pulled over with the 4door

i agree mate, but when they sit outside of these events, waiting to randomly select a car for a new sticker on the front window, it gets frustrating,

how would you feel if it was you? lets say you went to watch, and as you where leaving, in an orderly manner, they pulled you in and slapped you i the face for a defect? you would be pretty cut right?

its like taking candy from a baby for them.

i think i spotted you on friday morning to..on regency road? i was in my company (seina foods) car.

im pretty sure it was you anyway.

i agree it is frustrating!

Na wasnt my car i live down south, and started work at 6am

I remember when a drag day would finish, the cops would monitor the area to make sure drivers behaved themselves, which they never did.

I still see cops hanging around at track days at Mallala (cars and bikes) as there are always idiots hooning out of there.

The cops are after the hoon element and the obvious defects. If its a legit offence or defect then so be it. But if they are indeed looking for free tickets, then that is low.

Cops have and always will be hanging around motorsport events. You can blame all the wankers for that.

:thumbsup:

on the way in they had the speed check set up - which we took as a warning.

you have to be an idiot to drive a heavily modified car out to a major event at mallala (like next weekend) you know the cops are going to be everywhere

of course i do, coilovers, power fc, just to name a few, but if i get done then thats my bad luck, i wouldn't winge about it, cops are just doing there job, trying to keep people like me and you safe.

Power fc's are illegal? shit, thats one of the things on my list to get next :banana:

Dont understand why/how they can defect you for something that makes your car perform better. Police chips in that case should be illegal should they not? Not the place to be ranting but i had to say it!

Oh and i spotted Craig today in the stagea, went past my house to the shop, then home back past my house. Hi :thumbsup:

spotted white 33 on brige rd's 5th name (dont know all the name changes it go's through) as it gets closer to town sat night.

he was coping some uneccessary crap from hair dressor gang in desmini bus (i dont recommend getting involved with a hair dressor)

apoligies mate they were only saying it due to the fact their mummy sponsered (95%mum's $ 5% theirs) v8's have been proven to be inadequte angainst gtr's :w00t: i take satisfaction when spoilt rich kids go down :D although they dont seem to learn and continue to insult everyone about their cars

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
