i thought i'd share my second experience with the cops...

Was driving out to jimmy rowes (as you do on thursdays) and going down bulla rd. cop car was in right lane and me (p plates and carload of blokes) in the left lane.

then they changed into the middle, and then into my lane. quite obviously they were intending to pull me over. i wasn't speeding so i had nothing to worry bout really as far as i was concerned...

They flashed and i puled over. If anyone has read the latest issue of 'speed' magazine, the cop who sent a letter in said if its 2 cops in the car then its a partol car not a traffic car and they do checks and stuff. Two of them got out and one checked my liscence and asked some questions. the other asked me top pop the hood, and stood there looking at my engine. i suspect he was looking for obvious things, but seeing as i have stock airbox (hi flow filter) and stock bov etc. he didn't say anything else and closed the bonnet. then he walked around the car and checked the tyres i suspect to see the guard clearance but also the tread level.

ha ha my car is completely roadworthy and legal so up their arse. they took my liscence back to their car and did a check and after 5 mins let me go.

This was a pleasing experience as i really got no hassles and they were nice enough. i was not a smart ass and they were not smart back either.

moral of the story (if there even is one): not all cops are bad

Waz.

yeah that's a good point. i'm sure if i had a pod or something and they fined/defected me then i would be sitting on the other side of the fence...

i was wondering if when he looked under the bonnet if he was checking if it was a GTR or not, or if he was looking for illegal stuff. cox he looked like he didn't know what he was really looking at. plus he didn't tough anything just stood there.

well the fact that they pulled me over when i hardly ever speed or anything is a bit annoying. but at the end of the day if they are being told to randomly pull cars over and check licenses then they are just doing their job like everyone else.

it was just pleasing with their attitutde etc. thumbs up if they treat all drivers like this

but we don't know that if i didn't have a p plate, or that if i was driving a commonwhore with p's, then would they have still pulled me over, or would they have not?

this we will never know...

what do u think?

either way if we give them attitude and treat them like sh1t then they will return the favour...

import car, p plate, full of teens... If I was a cop I'd pull it over and search the boot for weed. Guranteed to find some.

Good on the cops, they're just doin their job. Lets say your car got stolen and he was driving it... If they hadn't looked at his car, checked his license, then you'd never have found your car. Stop whinging. If you can't maintain a roadworthy car its your own bloody fault.

Its all part of the modifying game. If you want the thrill of the speed, then you gotta face the thrill of being dixed.

In highschool when you wagged classes, you ran a risk of detention if you got busted. When you got caught did you go "aw f**king teachers have no right to give me detention". Same principle just 20 odd years later in your life. As a matter of fact I got a thrill out of avoiding getting caught, but when I did I tried to deny at first, but deep down inside I knew I was gettin it for what I did.

no way i have to disagree with u there ... to pull someone over just because they drive a particular car is not right ... its like racism ... prejudice (spelling) .. or whatever u call it ... and if they think the cars stolen well.. thats why they have their computers in the car for ...

How do you what other cars they pulled over that night? did you speak to all of them?

You also have a computer in your car (alarm system) does it ensure that your car dosen't get stolen? Sometimes computers aren't the solution to everything.

i mean the computers in the cops cars where they check the rego etc ... LOL ... so they don't have to pull u over to know if its stolen ...

all i'm saying is that if u get pulled over for hooning around .. speeding etc .. then fine ... no probs here .. but he wasn't doing anything wrong ... and they just pulled him over .. now i think thats not fair ... what are u going to think when he gets pulled over everyweek as i know of some people who get pulled over that often for no reason ...

i had a cop pull me over on tue arvo when i was in vic just across the border

now i live in nsw and this vic cop pulls me over

he comes upto my window, gives me a bretho.. thats ok

then he sed my car was reported as being driven "erratically"

he then procceded to ask where i live and what street comes off that... "we have a member of the force that lives in that street"

walks back to his car, chats to his mate for 10 secs, comes back.

he then throws my licence at me and told me to stop driving like a dickhead. he then runs back to his car while i try to say something to him. i was going to get his badge number etc but i thought it wasnt worth it considering they do nothing to their own kind at all anyway

What a Cnut!

now i dont drive my car erratically at all in suburban areas at all.

also there is another car like mine wif p plates.

all cops arent all good... its the 2pc of them that r absolute wankers

Jimmy rowes ;)

i was actually NEARLY gonna go Thurs night :)

and they ones that patrol that strip are mongrels.

I've had a number of 'incidents' with those guys.

They are from the TMU in Broady (that's how well i know them)

And they DO single you out.

Me not so much, but i see lots of imports pulled over.

But surprise, i didn't get hassled the other day actually. Went right past the patrol cat, 99.9% of the time they do what they did to you... pull in behind you... check the rego, and then STILL pull you over.

It's a text book thing i think.

my bf gets pull over when he still have the sticker and gt-wing

the cop check his car thoroughly...but my bf was nice 2 him so he was nice back...asking my bf where he was heading to and he was going to work....the cop advice him to take the stickers off also the gt-wing to catch less attention and the ratio of pullover chances would decrease...so he did and now more comfy driving it ...this would be the 2nd positive cop story...;)

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
