Hi

I have heard recently there will be extra police presence around service station establishments in the south eastern suburbs due to excess drive offs and unregistered vehicles in the area

Service stations around Dandenong, Hallam, Endeavour Hills, Narre Warren and a few other neighbouring suburbs will have extra police, mostly undercover cars patrolling service stations

It was due to start on the 14th of July and I have already seen a few hanging around near the exits of service stations in my area

Just a heads up for everyone

Thanks

Really nice to know i spose that narre was on the top 5 list for hooning

Not Hooning in Nazza Wazza...... Drive offs from petrol stations..... Sharron in her VK commo wagon with her mockies would rather buy a carton of smokes tahn pay for petrol....

happend to me at shell on corner of springvale and whitehorse road.. cop came in, watching me fill up and go and pay... then tried to give me a fine cuz my car was too high powered for a P plater.... I got out of it cuz mines heavier ... GTS4 ftw!!! :D

Great. So is the "hanging around petrol stations" operation a temporary thing or what? I did notice a few more cops on the roads last night then normal.

But then...what's normal?

I was gonna fill up after the meet tonight as well...screw that. I'm gonna fill up in the city instead...

Good ol narre is also the target for hightened police activity in relation to it being in the top 3 for cars seized due to 'hooning'. The operation is running over the periond of 1 month.

What were the top 2?

I went to the casino last night and did notice a lot more cops than normal, normaly see 1 or 2 but saw 6 or 7 last night, half of those had someone pulled over.

Did you just tell them its heavier and they accepted it? or did you need to show some proof etc.

As its the police word over yours if they believe the car is over powered.. :D

I've started to see and hear about some strange cars as unmarked cars. I saw a white VT Commodore (I think that's around the right model, looks right) that pulled over a car. Wasn't nice and shiny like you may expect, was kind of muddy etc.

My sister said she saw a Toyota Kluger too.

I'd say you were lucky more than anything. If it was a TMU guy he'd know A) gts4 would be fine, as it's a non-turbo, and B) to book you for running a modified engine if it's the turbo conv in his sig.

Mate I have nightmares about the TMU.... I am so sh*t scared... I could not afford all the issues...

Yeh we argued for a while..... cuz on his little shitty specs sheet of cars he likes to pick up it didn't have a GTS4... and up until recently I never thought there existed a standard R33 GTS4 turbo model.... but then I was at autobarn the other day and started talking to one of the guys.... turns out when he used to live in NZ he owned one....never ever seen one here...

so he didn't know what to do... so I told him, why don't you take the power from a standard gtst and use the weight of a gtr.... he didn't even know how to do the equation! so i did that for him aswell! turns out according to those numbers the car was legal ( i know it was bs...)

he took down my details and said he would call me if he went back to the station and looked up the specs of my car and saw that I was lying.... I told him its a really rare skyline and you wont find the details......

I never heard back from him :laugh::D:D:D:D:D

If I was you, I'd disconnect all your phones or else 3 points + $1100 fine if he calls you back :laugh:

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
