Operation RAID is meant to target Alcohol/Drug affected drivers but all traffic statistics are been examined from every station across the board to see who is working hard in relation to traffic. That's why our bosses are encouraging us so much to issue fines and perform PBT's at every opportunity, to make them look good.

There is no target cars as such and it's nothing to do with Hoon driving, just traffic across the board.

Im upto i think 8 bretho's in the past 4 weeks now.

But then thats living on Dandenog Rd for you, virtually like i gotta blow into a bretho just to leave my driveway :D

Only 1 of those was a 'chase down' so not too bad so far.

in regards to P' plated cars and the undercover cops cars g'ing up to drag other road users,

isnt that ENTRAPMENT and falsely displaying p plates which is an offence ?

We don't have 'entrapment' laws here in Aus... so no.

If you're not doing anything illegale and you're car is roadworthy then it does it REALLY matter if there are more cops around?

Some of the posts made on this forum regarding cops are childish and make me wonder about the attitudes towards obeying traffic laws some SAU members display.

I've got as much reason to hate cops as anyone else (I've lost my license preciously) but I respect the road laws now and realise that they're there to protect people and raise revenue (I had to throw that in).

At least its nice that we get told that everybody is targeted. but I guess cops being cops, they will pull you over and hassle because you drive a skyline or a supra or lancer evo or a rx7 or a muzzified lancer GX etc. which automaticlly they think you are a hoon.

Unmarked cars everywhere and they setup "the ring of steel" where most ways out of the city will have booze buses setup and cops roaming the known backstreets to catch drivers out.

To add to the topic, on my way to work this morning at 8am, there was a camera car on the side of the road, a falcon wagon with green P's showing and quite dark windows. They are definitely out to get some revenue!!!

It's not just the undercover cops you have to look out for. A lot of residents will call up police and report hooning. Just have a read of this article...

Then again, to stay out of trouble, don't do stupid things. Simple as that.

Ha! I drove past there last night and I had suspicions that it was something related to hooning. The guys were standing around arguing with the cops. The cars were parked on the median strip. They looked like a bunch of bogans and their cars were falcadores. Idiots.

A friend of mine saw them going for it...apparently they kept coming back for more and got caught...I just look at it as you're an idiot for doing in a residental arena and you keep coming back for more...you deserve to get caught

There is going to be a MASSIVE crack down due to operation RAID. We had a station meeting and our S/SGT has told us basically to fine everyone and do as many PBT's as possible as every stations stats are going to be examined by extremely highly ranked members.

So in next few weeks don't expect any warnings to be given.

Massive thumbs up to you mate.

I heard a Cop on the radio talking about operation RAID the other day, supposedly stands for Remove All Impaired Drivers... But judging by the size of some of the RBT stations I've seen setup recently I'd be very careful if your vehicle's a defect magnet as well.

I have just moved over here from Ireland and im collecting my R33 this Thursday and im starting to wonder if I should bother cause it looks like Im only going to have it a few weeks in this police run state, Its not that I drive like a tool or anything I have grown out of that but back in Dublin its alot easier with 2 fixed cameras for the whole of dublin 2 gatso vans with high viz stickers all over them and as long as you keep it below 160km you will save your licence

also the undercover cops are always in A. Ford Mondeo or B. Corolla with no hub caps on the car and 2 stupid lookin county fu*kers with there oversize jackets on, they stand out like warts on a penis.

so what im trying to say is there anywhere you can go late at night and drive your car properly

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
