anyone up for a drift session tonight in the scarborough police station car park?? just a though

Next weekend the boys n girls in blue along with our friends in the road transport department will be going out on a little operation to target

" young people in hot cars"

they will be targetting imports , as they have had a training session on what is illegal and what is not

what is an import and what is not !

and mainly other hot cars and stuff

so if your going out next week remove the nos and put on the silencers as i hear the yellow stickers have been printed in bulk

P.S typical knee jerk reaction of cops after pathetic media coverage of the 'race scene'

its over next week and the long weekend , so yeah just keep it cool and dont attract tooo much attention

P.S.S have a friend in police traffic

P.S.S.S will be next weekend targeting all hot spots scarbs , freo illegal drags (which apparentlygot sprung last week and stickered plenty)

P.S.S.S.S will also be the following long weekend

Oh great, more cops wasting DPI Inspectors time.

No doubt 90 percent of the cars they sticker will go straight over the pits and get the sticker removed.

On the up side its nice to see someone admit that until now theyve had no idea what is illegal or not... so much so that theyve needed a training session to find out.

actually u'd be suprised how much they do know. I've seen cops in action at scarborough and most times what they sticker for they are well within their rights to. Its up to the car owner to get permits for modifications on a vehicle. Face it most owners dont "know" what is legal or not they only think they do. If they did know then they would realise pod filters arent legal unless in an enclosed space or fitted correctly and then issued a permit for by pits.

my 2c on it. :P

Got a friend with a crazily modded GT4 Celica. He got pulled over by the cops and they lifted the bonnet to have a look. He asked what they were looking for and they said boost controllers. He replied he didn't have one. They left him alone. What he didn't tell them was the motec handled boost control anti-lag and water injection. They had no idea. It was also running avgas and no cat.

Summoner,

Then why do most of these so called illegal cars pass over teh pits first time, many without a single modification from the moment it was stickered?

This is the issue I have with police not knowing what is illegal or not. Sure, owners need to get permits and most of the time DPI will tell them whats required and help out in that regard. But im sick of cops claiming something is illegal on the side of the road when its clearly not.

Like my brother being asked to turn his fog lights off at an RBT in his 180SX. He doesnt have fog lights. The cop threatened him and said if he didnt turn them off straight away hed be fined. Once again my brother reinforced that they were park lights but the copper insisted they were fog lights. With cars banking up behind him the cop had to resign in the end.

I mean if they cant tell the difference between fog lights and parkers then i gotta doubt their knowledge of car legalities.

So for any police reading this, 180SX's DONT HAVE F&*CKING FOG LIGHTS!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
