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.

SkylinesAustralia - Smarter Than The Average Bear

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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
