hello officer marley.

what we are trying to say here, is that there is a difference between hoons, and enthusiasts, we here, at Skylines Australia are Enthusiasts.

the organisers of our cruises, such as kellie, DO NOT tolerate hoon driving, and have no worrys in forwording the information on these said drivers to sapol.

we ask that you work with us, to make our streets safer.as we are not in the majority you speak of.

thank you.

craig.

Thanks Craig, got your PM.

This has indeed become an intersting thread.

I'd like to welcome any Police Officer's comments and how we could work together to possibly change your opinion in generalizing about import drivers.

But please keep in mind (and this doesn't necessarily apply to you) that some of us could also be ex job and will not tolerate anyone trying to impersonate one, with details subsequently passed on to the FEDS.

I think we have seen the last of Mr sapol. I doubt SAPOL would let such a username be used, as the username appears to reflect the overall view of the SA Police. If you pm me your badge number, im quite happy to check all this out with a very high up close family friend of mine. If it is all legit, then as said before, we are all happy to discuss this particular scene with you.

categorising people is always easier than treating people like individuals, i look like a wog and wear glasses therefore ill be looking over my stamp collection tonight while serving you fish and chips and sled i think your a bikie therefore you must be taking out a gun to go shoot up a club somewhere

there are plenty police do that is wrong, such as the 1 that stalked my girlfriend home 2 nights ago by driving over a medium strip to begin the chase while she continued to do the speed limit (she had p plates on, get her) but clearly it would be inappropriate on my behalf if I blamed you for this.

if you havnt seen much on this webpage there is a lot of abuse generally towards hoon drivers. Driving an expensive car if your anything like me you often dislike anyone that risks damaging it while your trying to get from a to b, im to the point i won't even drive my car unless I am 100% havnt had a drink for a full 24hrs because you never know what idiot will pull out infront of you.

do you know the difference between cars well enough to be able to tell them apart or was it a matter of them being too far away to see? does an import include a commodore or falcon with a big wing on it and clear tail lights? did the toyota camry involved in the high speed chase into the city yesterday count as an import?

seems to me that people get in less trouble for stealing cars and conducting hoon activity than import drivers do for just trying to make it from a to b and don't get me started on people who take drugs while driving.

and that concludes my 2cents, everyone is entitled to an opinion and this is mine :D

and adding to the above i doubt a police officer would bother to put the effort in of filling out VE patrol car

Other thing to query is whether or not this is an actual SAPOL approved action or an unsanctioned vigilante operation.

Yeah, well, I don't think he was actually a cop. Impersonator. :(

Well, if we're done generalising the generalised community and the general population, then we can generally get on with talking cars in general.

:D

we can get back to talking bout the general

You are very close to nailing it Ben.

There are 3 possible scenarios here:

1. You're not a cop and therefore taking a big risk by impersonating one....Federal Police take that business very seriously.

2. You are a cop and are using the handle SAPOL without any written authorization because by using that name you are inadvertently representing this states police force, like it or not.

3. You do have written authorization and therefore this is part of a task force, only problem is, you are not very smart and quick to generalize and post on Kell's thread rather than initiate one yourself and introducing yourself in the correct manner which brings me back to point "1".

Hello

You see the fact of the matter is that most import drivers are out there and more times then not commiting an offence.

We are employed by the government to protect all of the Responsible drivers out there. Today on my shift i spotted four import cars taking off from the traffic lights erraticaly, now that doesnt show much for the rest of the import driving community.

Another example is the Creator of Nissan Silvia . com was caught doing underground illegal drifting in queensland recently and he is supposed to be highly responsible due to his image.

I will be attending the cruise on this sunday to make sure there are no Hoons out.

Thankyou

If this is a real police officer, im glad you felt compelled to post in this thread, but the cruises held by the original poster arent for illegal drag races / drifting or whatever. They are purely meet and greet type events followed by light driving. Go fight some real crime instead of terrorising import cars because of the stigma that some drivers give them.

EDIT - I might also point out that if police come to any meet spots held on private property, like bunnings carpark or a designated carpark, they do not have any right to defect. Private property is sacrosanct, you can do whatever the hell you like there, provided it doesnt upset the owner. (Stupid things like burnouts notwithstanding)

Its adelaide mate, there is no real crime. Import defecting is all they have.

I found that 'sapol' guy funny. PM me your name and badge number mate, my sister in law is a 'computer jocky' at a police station, she'll be more then happy to make sure you really are a police officer.

tried to fire up the car after getting ready......dead battery.

happens all too often to me cause i hardly drive it :D

Take the battery out if your not driving it. I do that and the battery is fine 5 weeks on lol sucks taking it out and putting it back in all the time tho, but im not driving mine for another 4 months so...

****300 posts YAY*** :P

ive told this dazza dude to meet me at a diff location for the stagea cruise this sunday (ill b in dads car to look semi un-sus :P) so only then will we know if hes a champ with a stag.. or a piglet with a commy :D keep ya guys posted

get one of these no need to ever suffer a flat battery again i bought one for day but he forgot to turn it on :wave: so still didn't help him lol

I have one of those things. Pretty good. Bought it, went out to the car and had to use it haha. Now it just collects dust.

yeah its on charge already, my dad is very specific that it must remain on charge untill its fully charged. don't know why that is but it beats having a flat battery upon arrival at the vili's

i think from now on i might test early that the cars gonna start cause its pretty annoying when i grab all my sh*t out and commence unlocking all the crazy stuff i do to ensure my cars safe at night and then try n start with a da da da da reow aww reow aww (excellent sound effects) that last bit is the alarm going off because the car thinks the battery is being disconneted.

It would do the forum good if we did have a cop post answers to all the questions about defects and other matters regarding the law.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
