oh fem, was that you who i was talking to at the lights of blackburn and wellington?

it was the first meet that i could make, and i only managed to make it to the carpark at 9:40pm, but there was 1 nice looking stagea, and the 32 there, maybe 1 or 2 more guys, a copper and a bike copper.

I drove in the wellington entrance, got the eye from a silver? marked cop car went to the car park, scrapped the crap outta my front bumper as i was too busy looking at the cops and guys in the car park, decided best not go in, and waited around a bit outside the carpark to see what was happening. Decided probably best not to tempt fate and drive in (i'm 99% sure my car is fine, but you just never know what they might decide to get you for) and had a quick chat to the 32 owner at the lights down the road.

Then tried deakin car park, no luck, met another dude, Evo owner at the exit, he too was looking for you guys and had no luck. I forgot i can't get out of the deakin top exit, too farken steep, so i had to back up and go back the way i came :blink:

EDIT: i found you guys eventually, but i won't say where, just realised as i was typing it all out, prob best not to mention specifics. Looked like you were having fun eating duck :blink:

The TMU gets assigned places to patrol yeah? So someone higher up has said, someone check the Monash carpark?

These meets would have to be THE MOST unhooning type events and this shit happens.

And the police wonder why there is an "us and them" attitude... EDIT

sorry to hear about that guys. cops seem very different on the other side of melbourne. on my side they tend to pick on cars that dont look road worthy and are old. ive ssen them pull over a highly modified r34 and didnt do anything, they looked at it and just left and he never got a letter in the mail.

maybe we should get hot 4's or fast fours involved as well to help us out as they are already in the media and do a write up and might have some good connections to help us out.

Yeah it is true....

The system will have to be ratified by the committee you all do realise this as they need to make sure it doesn't go against the club charter.

These meets are in no way affiliated with SAU-Vic. Everyone needs to remember that the forum and the club are 2 completely separate things.

I agree - nothing to do with sau vic

what you do in your own time is your choice - and keep the cop slander away, theres no need for it

they are doing their job, look up the term "police" and youll understand the meaning of their role

Wasn't the best night last night, but from what I saw, quite a few cars turned up. 3 being police cars.

I didn't get a chance to say this last night so I'll say it now, Nick and Kris, enjoy your couple of months of driving free and bad luck to femno for getting defected. That just sucked, we were doing NOTHING compared to those on Princes Hwy.

All this tyre rubbing for nothing. :happy:

Sorry to hear it guys, kinda glad i didnt show. The SSQV would have given me away a mile off.

Sucks to hear that femno. And for all non club members, the meets that are properly arranged by the club dont have these issues. Cops literally passed us by on one of the more recent cruises and didn't do anything despite a number of us with lightly and heavily modified cars. The club affiliation actually is a benefit.

Its worth signing up.

i agree, good on them.

if you organise a meet full of illegal cars on a public internet forum, why wouldnt they rock up.

LoL thats a bit harsh. Im sure most people's cars on here have something illegal about them and ts not just skylines, its all cars on the road. Simple things such as bald tyres, loud exhausts, large aftermarket rims ect..are all considered illegal.

These guys wernt there to cause trouble, but to innocently socialise. So unfair of u to imply they deserved it coz their cars are 'illegal'??

official event or not.... are you saying waiting for close to hour for people to move is using threre time and money efficiatly.. sorry but thats f**king bull shit from both moderators and club executive.... . and how you can justify it bothers me....im sorry soemone had to say it

what is happening with this place....

everyone who was there knew what the cops were doing was BS.......thats all that matters

it will not happen again though :happy:

I am appauld that posts outlining our disappointment and distain at the Police conduct at this meet where removed. I was hoping they would read it and realise that we as a community where extremely dissatified with there time wasting. I for one would like to see my tax dollars spent on something more constructive like the WRX that tears up and down my street at 1:00am in the morning.

Responding to a Robbery in under 48 hours in my home etc....

If this club in the forums are going to censor our opinions then how are we going to get over such frustration and try and find a workable solution for the community, not only club members.

And for the record in the next meet if anyone of you guys get done don't expect any support from us as we know most of the vehicles in this club are not legally modified, and your attitude of it isn't me so I don't give a rats arse is showing how hypacritical you are.

I'm with you on that one! +1

Why would your post be deleted?

Can you show me the club executive that said it was a good use of police resources?

So far I think I'm the only commitee member to have posted and I clearly didn't say that :happy:

I simply stated that this meet had nothing to do with the club, which people don't seem to realise essentially has no affiliation with the forums other than being based on them.

Also implying that becoming a club member somehow makes you immune to police attention is far fetched. To date there hasn't really been any issues with police on official club cruises, but up until last night there really hasn't been a problem with these general meets either.

And for the next person that says they should be spending time on robberies and homicides, do some research into what the Traffic Management Unit's job description entails.

I was at the meet, and could have easily have been defected myself. Its unfortunate that someone was defected, and its a shame that it happened when people were just casually parking and socializing, but at the end of the day if the car is illegally modified, and an officer wants to hand out a defect, then there's not a lot you can do but cop it and get it cleared.

i am in no way defending that the car was defectable or not. i took your first post as if you were implying that because it was not an official event we should expect the police the intimidate and waste time at these type of events. poeple take things deffirenantly as you did have to explain you self further on a few points, regarding few differant posts as just done....

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
