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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
