Police Blitz Last Night?

[Sloane]

Hey

I was cruising with some friends and we went through Southport and saw like 20 cops in patrol cars parked in a parking lot all talking to each other.

So while we were driving slowly passed we decided to cruise around places that they weren't likely to go.

also saw a undercover Aurion which pulled over a 4WD and a undercover Commodore pull over someone else.

Just wondering if it was a Blitz getting prepared for the Saturday night?

here is the map of where they were.

It sure was.

[Sloane]

It sure was.

were you out last night or were u being sarcastic ?

I was just shocked to see so many out in one night.

Its been a while since I've been on a cruise so yeah and I haven't been around surfers for long time.

[ToMMaH]

No I wasn't being sarcastic. I was warned early yesterday by people not to head out there as the cops were going to be out and about in numbers.

[red_screamer]

all school holidays they were out... massive blits on the sunny coast from about tuesday onwards still a fare few out

[Scadtional]

Yeah i saw a couple around.

I went through a road block at springwood where they had a WRX and another car with their bonnets up.

I was warned, told that between 10pm and 3am saturday-sunday cops would be out to target hoons and make a crack down... Not that its any importance now. but meh

[Ivonin]

We should start a bit of a tip off thing in here? As long as it's not against the rules.... =)

yes u can only go a certain amount of inches over ur factory wheels.. something 2 do with rolling diameter. When u go too big or change profiles by a massive amount it puts your speedo out n shit.

[ToMMaH]

They have to be the same diameter as factory including rubber +15mm or -26mm. So if you get some real low profile tyres you could probably go an extra 1"

As quoted from QLD transport light mod guide:

"The rim diameter may be varied from the standard size

but the overall diameter of the tyre must not vary by

more than +15mm or -26mm.

These limits have been set for a number of reasons.

Varying the overall diameter of tyres affects ground

clearance, centre of gravity, brake effectiveness, steering

geometry, performance and speedometer accuracy."

With 20's on a r33 your fecked

I dunno bout 1" man.. i got a 32 gtst. n i got 19s on it.. cops got there book out said they were too large. Said if i go 2 a 30 profile instead of 35 i am sweet..

[Doze]

All you need to do is find out standard rim and tyre diameter that they came factory with, and then change your rims and tyres to your hearts content within the limitations of QLD Transport..... speaking of which, anyone know the TOTAL diameter for a 34gtt? Me thinks I might need to look at getting rid of some things that keeps the rims off the brakes sometime... Can't use the "but I bought it that way from the dealer excuse" if I get pulled up for the little bits of metal....

[Doze]

[skylineboy84]
