I did see the driver enough to describe his age, ethnicity etc and it had personalised plates. In relation to Where I perform Laser duties I don't see that I would need permission to give out that iformation. I have at least 3-4 other streets in my area that I sit also and TMU and other members have 100's of others so naming one spot in a thousand I highly doubt will worry anyone.

I am not saying that I would be successful in tracking them down or even if do find them I agree It would be unlikely to prosecute but I still think it's worthwile to try to track them down.

Reality is could look into further charges not just traffic related. That much over speed limit in middle of day in busy industrial area could speak to them about charges similiar to conduct endangering life. Not unreasable to have truck pull out of Driveway in front of them etc

How will you prove his speed though? Do the laser units that you use keep a log?

What other things would you actually look at charging the individual for? I'm keen to hear what it would fall under in regards to the Victorian road laws.

If you know his age and nationality why wouldnt you look up all Yellow GT3's

Filter it down to those owners who fall in the given age group

Then filter it down again to those with personalised plates?

Maybe make a fancy graph also and show it to people at the station. They'll see you're a hard worker and will probably give you a cool nickname like "graphy-grapherson."

i will swap you the details only if!... u get me.... a shrubbery! once you have the shrubbery with a nice little path down the middle, you must cut this tree down.... with a herring!

Haha love it.

*officer pulls over gt3 porsche* " it's just a flesh wound!" *officer impounds porsche* "alright we'll call it a draw".

I've seen cops on several occasions sitting on ferntree gully road with the radar, so many times that I'm very conscious of them every time I round the corner. By night they sit in the median strip and shoot their "LASER" at the corner so they'll have your speed before you see them. During the day they sit on the chesterfield farm side of the road and just poke out down the side of the roadworks.

Contacted Porsche Dealership and possibly under 10 Yellow GT3 sold in last couple of years. Will get onto Vic Roads next week and try to get list of same. Fairly hard as I doubt they would put them in sepatare category so list probably include all Yellow Porsche's. Bit like GTR just is listed as nissan skyline.

I already have a "cool" Nickname at work and my boss already impressed at how hard I work. Have most arrests at station by mile and in top 3 for penalty notices issued. I just think you should work hard as we have no reason to do same there is no work performance awards. I could do 10% of what I do and actully finish on time for once but that's not what I'm about.

Laser Unit's don't save speed so it would be my word against their's in relation to that if it ever went to court.

You could possibly look at charges like Conduct Endangering Life, Driver manner dangerous, speed dangerous, careless driving, exceed speed limit and improper use re speed under new hoon laws.

Unless your nickname is Rabbit, Farva or Mack it ain't really a cool nickname....

And it doesn't count if it is a nickname you made up and introduce yourself to others with either... that's cheating

MEOW!

How long have you been in the force?

May I ask what section you work in? (I realise you would be reluctant to give out details but a general work area?)

These are OT questions so you could PM if you like.

MEOW!

What about if you just start calling yourself Donkey?

eee f**kin orr

to the OP. GL in finding the driver. I'm sure if he's smart enough to be able to afford a GT3 then he will be smart enough to know the law also ;)

glad to see our $$$ are going to well deserving hard working officers... why loathe a hang on something that happend... you didn't catch the guy.. get the f*** over it. i'm on the road 24/7, do you want me to report every tom dick and ha...... officer, isee breaking the law to you and you can then waste time trying to background check and csi investigate every one of them..

Hmmm maybe he is a cop, he did give a keep a look out call for the vehicle and he has now given more details that would allow him to narrow in on the car in question if it came to his attention.

BUT sadly the overriding fact pointing to him indeed being a brother in blue is that he prides himself on being, and i quote, 'top 3 most penalty notices given.'

Are you sure that you are not TOGS mate??? only those blokes pride themselves on actually hurting more than their quota.....

Is the OP doing posting this whilst on duty? Or is he doing this in his own unpaid time?

Hey i got an idea.

Find some real criminals who are raping/murdering/selling drugs/breaking into house/stealing cars/laundering massive amounts of money etc etc.

So a guy in a porsche decided to give it a squirt on the fast pedal...Meh. Yeah i realise that some one who didnt look before entering the road could have been crashed in to etc but it didnt happen....but what did happen is someone had their house broken in to somewhere. Good luck with your state revenue and reaching your "target".

I can't believe you guys are giving so much grief to a police officer trying to do the right thing. If you read this guy's previous posts you will discover he's actually very fair on us import drivers, yet you give him a hard time?

I agree that the title of the thread is wrong, but wanting to have a chat to the driver is pretty fair all things considered. All you guys in this club trying to protest your innocence and looking down on hoons and idiots who drive fast. As soon as someone actually wants to do something about it you give them a hard time. Most of you clowns are in WA unfortunately or I'd love to see the threads you create when he pulls your ass over. I'm sure more than a few Melbourne members would look upon him in a different light so if you have nothing nice to say, STFU.

endrant.

why be nasty about it? seems a bit hostile of you to take such a negative-zilchy stance on our replies.

In fact if anything, we have supported his exploration for answers.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
