ok the other night me and a mate were heading towrds his house in balcatta

we've turned off balcatta rd onto the road that takes you passed the stirling council depot

i see a black vz sedan with black stockies parked up next to the fence surrounding the depot

as i pass i look back and see a guy run round an get in the passenger seat

great im thinking here we go a cop bout to give me sticker an hassle me bout my car

the vz follows me till i get to my mates place, i drop him off an keep going till i get back to erindale rd

just before i get to the lights at arindale an balcatta rd the guy flashes his high beams an puts his indicators on so i slowed down waiting for the red an blue but then realising he wasnt gonna do that i sped off an basically ran a red to get away an he didnt take chase

now detective or someone trying to mug me for my car??

when i dropped my mate off he sed there was no flashers inside it or ariels on the rear window an there were 4 guys inside the car, definitly somethin dodgey going on, was 1230 at night an they came after me as soon as they saw me so yeah, keep an eye out for a black stocker vz sedan with black stockies, in the area, the only bit of the number plate i could see was 1BYY

seriously thought i was going home without my car that night, or worse end up a statistic, didnt go to bed till 2 in the morning

haha yeah thats why i shot off an just ran the red light

probly figured i knew they wernt cops when i didnt pull over, and mug me well thats my idea of sayin beat me unconcious then burn my car in the bushes or strip it an sell everything

im guessing he knew his car looked like an undercover car and tohught it would be a laugh to make someone pull over.

if in doubt you should report it to the police call centre 131 444.

i have their number on in my phone if in the case i might need police assistance

same thing happen on last friday night cruise. but this was a real cop in an unmark cop car....

luckily he wasnt really speeding.

What happen was my mate got lost as the cruise was heading into the hills (before the kalamunda turn), a black car suddenly tailgated him thru the hills. following him closely for about 15-20 minutes. my mate was cutting cars when he was driving thru the hills and so did the black car (thinking it was some guys from the cruise). driving around 70 -80 km/hr all the way bcos he was trying to catch up. when he left signal and slowed down for the black car to over take the black car didnt, so he continued to the kalamunda turning and he decided its was time to ask for directions. slows down n pop comes the blue n red flashing lights!

WTF!for 15 or more minutes following my mate n waiting for my him to do something stupid (which he didnt except 10km above the limit).

cops came down n snatch the car keys from the car. gave my mate a lecture n threatened to give him a $1000 fine plus impounding his car for 48hrs. etc etc. mate gave lame excuse was lost in the hills. but the cops were very nice that night ;) . let my mate off plus leading him back to the main roads. phew!

btw he got his car less than 48 hrs n this was the 3rd cop car that stopped him! ;)

OMG i kno how u feel mate i was in a fairly very scary similar situation,

Here's my long story....

This was a fair while ago around jan/feb of dis yr. I didnt really wanna say anything earlier until now if the guy stalks these forums u kno :S bt here we go, anyway i was at hilarys with a mate, we were lookin to take sum pics of my car as the sun was setting down it was around 8pm dat time (daylight savings then) parked the car and started taking a few pics and this was in a parking place with bout 4-6 other cars THEN this guy comes from the beach goes to his RENTED car puts all his shit in it then like as he reversed out i was takin sum pics and wasnt really paying any attention to other cars my mate turned around after looking out at the ocean for a bit and sees that f***** rented car with the passengers side window down looking at my car and seems to be writing something down.

my mate tells me what the hell is dat bloke doing, i turn around and see him, he then sets off then mate starts yellin and then the car STOPS......Reversing lights come on and he reverses back and stops where my friend and I were standing and goes "What's the problem guys???" i go to him "Were u taking my number plate down?" he says "No i got no idea what ur talking about mate!" then my mate looks over into the window of the car and sees a piece of paper and a pen with sumthing written down.......my friend goes "so whats that in there then?" i look over and OMFG my rego number!!! as soon as dat happened he jus sort of went "hmph" and went off.....we set straight off to report it to the cops and see if they could do sumthin and we thought that was the end of it.......BOY WE WERE WRONG!

So we set off and by this time roads were fairly empty surprisingly and about 5 mins into the journey to cop station i notice the same car (Toyota Corolla Sedan-White-rented one with that key symbol on the side forgot which rental hire company it is) yeah notice a toyota corolla behind us and so i see a round-about coming ahead and think quick of a way to see if its the same freakshow as b4, so get up to roundabout and do a full circle around it and at first the car passed then bout another 10-15m down the same road that car PULLS OVER in a bus loading bay thingy......

pass the car and he pulls out....by now we knew sumthing pretty f*kd up was goin on, had sum issues losing him due to mainstream traffic appearing by now (highway) and yes he definetely was following us, luckily we managed to lose him on a freeway in merging traffic as we had the sie to give way and i stopped and jus before the full traffic came i went off and he got stuck way behind and we def had lost him by then.

so we came to the cop station told em all about it bla bla bla, and still havent heard anything from them

i mean the thing that freaks me out most is IF he was an undercover cop in a rented corolla at the beach (lol) he wuldve shown me his badge back at the parking place, i knew dat was out of the window, i still keep thinkin about this 1 day and yes the very nxt day i went to change my number plates hoping he couldnt find my address out or anything,

i was pretty freaked out as i had bought the car bout only a month ago before then with the hard earned money i saved over my high skool years and decide to take sum pics coz i needed sum only to find sum1 stalking me, and my car is DEAD stock (R34 NA) only with muffler, low kings and limo tint.

Has ANYONE got any idea what the hell was he thinkin of doin (its pretty obvious bt writing down license plate AND following me jus doesnt mix imo)

Alex

thats some freaky shit happening to this f**ked up society

if i decided not to stop in the middle of no where and pull up at the next servo (if no ones around and i think his a poser)

is that illegal?

I've had plenty of the above incidents...

An off duty copper chased me through the far eastern suburbs in his own private car, after I semi cut him off in a merging lane. Crazy dude was flashing his lights, tail gating me etc, then pulls out his badge when he pulls up next to me. No way was I going to pull over. Got away from the dude (long story) but then for the next two weeks he was calling me everyday trying to arrange an interview, then changing the times due to things he had to do. After a while (and a lot of stress) I talked to a lawyer and he suggested I just tell him to f*ck off. I did exactly that and never heard from him again. I made an official complaint to the Police, but nothing happened to the guy or myself. Protecting their own as per usual... (however I bet it went on my IMC record so when Police pull me over they'll see it..c*nts)

Another time (many years ago), some fools were giving me shit on the road, and as they over took me I pulled the finger at them. However, the car behind me who was tail gating me at the time thought I was pulling the finger at him. He decides to follow me (could tell by the way he was driving), and when I get to a round about I do a full circle and so does he. However when I exited the round about (going back the same way I came in) he did another circle and went the opposite direction as I think he would have gotten the idea I knew he was following me. Lucky he didn't follow, as I was on the phone to a mate living on the same street to tell him to get his golf clubs ready.

End of the day imo, no blue or red lights...I won't stop.. and even if they do (red & blue lights) they've got to look legit.

maybe this makes me glad not to live in WA :domokun: but then again our cops are nice :( they are always trying to race us, they pull us over for nice friendly chats and compliment our cars and then give us a piece of paper saying how great they are and that they are going to add then to a list for a small administration fee.

and then there are the times were they really want to drive them and look after then for a few days again for that administration fee.

what else is everyone to except from the police. they are doing there job and are on a hungry power trip.

easy key to identify REALLY DARK WINDOWS.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
