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.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
