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.

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
