Disclaimer:: the information given is now 3rd hand and given from a women and we all know how good they are at retaining information in an accurate manor... yes you heard me womens! So obviously it is not going to be 100% accurate but you should get the idea.

Well i just got off the phone with my sister who informed me that this morning she went to leave the house to find a bunch of coppers parked on a section of her drive way (the house/building has multiple driveways so it was blocking them all)... when asked what they were doing the policemen showed her and explained to her they were testing a new "car scanner" which basically scans the cars rego/plates and what not and brings up a window with information on the owner, the car and anything against either of them. ie. if they have outstanding traffic infringements, canaries, disqualified licences, non paid rego, warrants etc etc.

Sounded interesting and from looking on the all knowing bible google i believe they have a similar system in the UK.

So i spose for people who might have decided to drive around without a licence or have a canary but took it off and continue to drive then its an issue... otherwise its not really an issue. Unless they keep information on there about cars mods and stuff then half of you are screwed lol

that would explain the bad acting and bad special effects... wonder how long before the remake that movie... been over 20 years now and we all know how badly they seem to be running out of ideas in Hollywood

Its true. My mate was pulled over 3-4 weeks ago driving his uncomplied aristo with plates off another car with expired rego. The cop showed him the scanner and said a few cop cars with a yellow line have them and are doing a trial. The cop was driving in the oppesite direction and did a u turn to pull him over. $1000 in fines

He use to drive the aristo with plates from his celsior that was the same color and was still registered and Im sure that would have been fine even if it was scanned but he had just sold the celsior 2 days eariler so he chucked some other plates he had on. I think he learnt his lesson.... (This was Brisbane Qld)

I remember hearing about this being trial years ago over here, called ARGUS or something, mainly used in booze bus lineups to try and catch out stolen cars,drivers that are wanted for other matters etc

Shit thing about it for me is i have 2 out standing tickets from like 2002 from when my aunty borrowed my car for a week... i sent back the stat dec to them 4 times to say it wasnt me and everytime they rejected it saying "there wasnt enough evidence". What f*kin evidence does one need other then supplying them with the licence number, address and name of the person driving ffs. So i didnt pay the fines... they can get f**ked and havent heard from it since.

So cant wait til some bored cop pulls me over for that.

1. scmods

"state county municipal offender data system", the on-board system used by the rollers (AKA: cops) in the original Blue Brothers. this utility told the cops to "arrest driver, impound vehicle" and thus initiated the multi-state car chase that wrecked the most cars in movie history.

"shit, i hope they (the cops) don't have scmods."

well we've got nothing to worry about as we all have rego and no outstanding fines.

what's the big deal?

I am looking forward to it getting up so it gets all the dodgy farker 25y/o shitboxes with no rego spewing shit out off the road.

they dont care, it goes to the sherrifs office, i just organized to pay off my outstanding fines, cops never said anything about those and that was 5k worth.

Think you need to get your aunty to send a letter with yours admitting guilt..

I'd say that's the evidence they need.

on the back of the fines they all say you simply need to fill out the information fields they provided and have it signed at the local... which i did... im not going out of my way a 5th time to do something they havent asked of me... the dumbest thing is that she also got a parking fine on the same day (different thing all together i know... but still) and they said it wasnt a problem and signed it over to her.

I can confirm that this system is being used in VIC. A guy I know had just lost his licence and drove down to the shops. Cop car was travelling in the opposite direction and the system alerted the driver that the car was regeistered to an unlicenced driver so they did a u-turn and pulled him over. Good system as far as I can tell as it will hopefully keep a lot of people off the road who don't deserve to be there.. huddles in corner and waits to be flamed.. If it keeps drunken, unlicenced and repeat offender drivers off the roads then it has to be a good thing.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
