good post hotfuzz, i agree its the dickhead import drivers that give us a bad name, thus the reason we are targeted.

a good bit of advice in that last paragraph of your post too

And finally, I know how it feels. Especially when your cars the biggest part of your life. I know because until recently, when petrol prices forced me out of turbo ownership (for now) I was just like you. The biggest tip I can give is KISS - and keep it classy. If you want to polish your intercooler pipes, paint your bonnet black, have some stupid offset wheels, a ridiculously loud exhaust with no cat, and a atmo-bov, you may as well book your regency appointment now. If you don't want an all expenses paid date with regency (where you foot the bill), build a performance car that looks neat, goes hard and doesn't attract attention.

+1 :)

Its really not that hard to have a nicely modded car that isn't a defect on wheels

for some reason i have my doubts that's a cop posting

generalizing police aint good. some arnt that bad some are just lazy n feel the need to defect to fill up some paperwork n make it look like theve done good job for the day.

its all been said before nothing ever changes cept the model's of cars people drive and slowly we get older and you reach that age where you are seen as less of a hoon.

maybe they should put age restrictions on cars instead not that i feel it helps the cause but then you will atleast know when cops will let you drive a certain car.

if the fast cars are so dangerous maybe during safty inspections before they are allowed to be sold in the country they should say something (apparently they ment to be the experts) and at the end of the day no moddified car will ever be more dangerous than a bike which is perfectly fine to go kill yourself on. its legal to register a veyron to go do your local shopping in but not a skyline with big rims and a exhaust somewhat sad but true money talks

these arguments are even more older than my dato, which for you kids on here is an old nissan.

Hello boys and girls,

I'd hoped to put my 2c in before this thread turned sour, but I might be a bit late. Anyway I'm going to attempt to reply to the above for you. I've shopped up your quote lunacys13 to keep to the point and keep to the things I can offer advice on:

And why do Police seem to be out in force? Because it's funded federally. They provide the funding because their statistics indicate that it works.

Police don't actively set out to only find defects at these stations but we have eyes and its our job to action the things we find.

And as long as I have cars baiting me into chasing them (like a certain black Stagea while on the way to a priority A job - I have a long memory buddy), sorry but my spidey senses tingle slightly whenever one's around.

See you on the streets

Seriously pal, you're too dumb to be a cop!!

May I remind you that impersonating a police officer is a federal offense.......and if you think the moderators or real police can't track you down, you're dreaming!

I'm good at impersonating police...

*deep voice*

"BLOW!!! OR I'll FREEZE YOU AWAY!!!"

-D

All i wanted was to see how much support i would have(because thats how the system works.numbers). get people to tell me what what they wanted and there ideas on how to tackle it.

Ive thought of a few ideas like having a car enthusiast rego fee and have a plate/sticker for it, so cops know.

Also having mod plates and working all together to have better priced engineering and able to engineer everything.( i have more ideas.)

If it does happen, make the police aware of this and so if you do have an engineering cert/mod plate or enthusiast plate and do the right thing, they cant defect you/us.

Because right now if you have an engineering paper they still will defect you in ADELAIDE.

If we keep all the good things about Adelaide's road rules and mix it with all the good things about QLD road rules. we would have it pretty sweet here. and i dont see why it cant QLD is part of Australia and so is Adelaide get what I'm saying here.

Whats Wrong with that really?

I do understand winging about it on the net wont do anything. This is not what this is all about. i know its easy to come up with such a remark and just laugh.

what the rest of us are saying mate, is that its always going to be this way.

no matter how many people bitch/whinge/cry.

take the raceway petition for example... numbers=nothing to the gov.

so sad but true..

Lunacy, even if you could make any valid points now, you have a problem with anyone taking you seriously after being owned on 3 different forums and 2 different identities......impersonating a cop was probably the most stupid thing you've done IMO

i saw that EMG001 falcon last night, what is his purpose? street racers or just a quick responce vehicle??

Didn't even think it was sapol... thought EMG001 is an emergency services car. If it's the car i'm thinking of it drops blood supplies near my work.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
