just thought i would ask out of curiosity. i got pulled over on the way in and on way out. i thought the cops little set up was stupid though i almost got arse ended when they asked me to pull over on the way in. he waited till i was half way past him and from the other side of the road springs out pointing and yelling for me to pull over. I cant complain about defects though as i didnt get any. all they did was pop my bonnet for 5 seconds and told me to be on my way. didnt check tyres or anything.

On the way out though i noticed the 180 infront of me getting ticketed and the officer was going all over the car with a camcorder videoing and taking photos of the engine bay and tires etc etc which i have never seen done before. And also when i was pulled over on the way out i just had to ask the point of it as they got me on my way in. im like excuse me but how am i supposed to modify my car in the space of an hour while im on the beach. all he had to say was asking me if i got a prize on my way in. they must really get kicks out of what they doing.

Your bloody lucky that cop didn't tell you that he suspect you for having illegal substance in your car and that he needs to check your vehicle inside and out, then after he finish the interior of the car, he then tells you that he suspect you for having illegal modification on the vehicle. That should take around 1:30-2:00 hours of your time which you don't need my friend so consider yourself lucky.

P.S. - I'm not having a go at you mate just stating the facts.

Ya can still go to the spit mate, just make sure ya car is legal, simple.

There are pages of incidents where people have been carded for legal modz and sometimes no mods at all dude. (Tommah being the most recent example)

Go near the spit in an import at your peril

matter of fact, Go near the coast in an import at your peril.

they must really get kicks out of what they doing.

I got pulled over bout 9 months back with my mate in a 33, doing about 50kms in 4th in the valley (u'd be an idiot to do anything stupid especially there), what does the coppa say, "Oh beeeaaautiful! We got two more of them!" Both pulled over to see 2 other 34's pulled over. Myself and the other 2 34's got away with single defect of a modified muffler. My mate in the 33 wasn't so lucky...haha. He got done for everthing he possibly could. He even got done for 'modifying' the battery to the boot (in a 33 mind you).

i don't know if i've just been lucky so far or its just cause I avoid the 'hotspots'. I haven't had any problems in either of my skylines so far, and my current one isn't exactly street legal :> I stay away from the spit/BWCP areas and dont go through surfers on fri/sat nights.

my question is every company you deal with have a customer standard mission statement and they are accountable for there customer service

it seems the po po have no customer service training at all

yeah yeah i know they see dead people and all that but if i get a little heated in my workplace i get pulled up and dealt with

i dont realy have any point though just like a toyota aurion

Isn't the battery supposed to be in the boot? Thats where mine is anyway...

    • I might just check it out.. A Q among all those skylines.. lol
    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
