Cops Defecting Around Terrigal This Thurs/fri Night And Next Thurs/fri Night


Recommended Posts

I heard from a reliable source that the cops will be setting up a defect station at the Haven, Terrigal this Thursday & Friday night and next Thursday & Friday night. I believe that this includes emissions testing, but dont quote me on that. Lights will be set up, and unmarked police cars will be sent out to pick up modified cars and escort them back to the Haven for testing.

I never ever drive my car on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday night due to this possibility, but for those that do, watch out on the above mentioned nights.

Thanks for the heads up mate.

It's this time of year they make the haven a defect hole. I've seen them drag cars from past West Gosford Maccas all the way to the haven just to defect/EPA them.

Yeah, hopefully ill get down there for a look. Ive gotta work both nights, but maybe ill take the Ambulance down if we've got no jobs. Im gonna warn anyone who isnt acting like an idiot too.

You need to change the heading to SYDNEY WIDE. Because the police will be everywhere this weekend, this is a special test for the xmas holiday workup. So inform people t drive the Grandma CAR...LOL

yes it did.

there were a stack of unmarked police cars cruising around...

it was surprising how many cars they did pull over

spoke to guy in a blue silvia who was getting his car checked out, he was a good guy

says he gets a lot of interest from the police...

definately the best car of the night though

Extra heavy Sydney wide all day patrols were announced and started last Saturday, ostensibly targeting drink driving. They will be doing this for 4 weeks. Note, not during Christmas itself.

The intention is to make people feel they should not drink and drive this Christmas holidays by driving home the message of police presence in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
