yeh at kk's so not fair but people were doin nuffin wrong at all people were not even near there cars and the cops were puttin stickers on them and leavin the defect notice under the wiper not cool aye

Yeah the cops have been blitzing that area of panthers carpark for a while now so anyone who continues to go in their is just plain dumb to be honest, I drove in their in my N13 last night to see what was going on and I saw at least 4 cars red stickered that werent going anywere.

The cruising scene will be dead soon if these defect blitzs keep up.

yeh they were all unmarked one of the red stickerd cars was my mates 4 wheel drive the white one on 35 inch wheels how shit is that seriously the cops are goin under a group name called "tiepan" dunno what the hell that means but it was on all there badges all 90% of the cars where unmarked typhoons keep an eye out for them guys

i also read in the local that cops are going to b targeting drink-driving in the blacktown area over christmas so be very careful people if u drive after you drink

what the hell ?

dont drink and drive at all, ever....

cops have been defecting cars like this for years. Only now the car scene is larger and they target it more due to the "hoons" on the roads.

Taipan is a type of snake... That would be where they got the name from.

first thing to ask is : are they legally modified cars?

if not then that explains the lack of need of the presence of the owners, all engineer certified cars have marking on the rego sticker.

this is the main reason i dont drive my blue 33 for the sake of driving it, until i can get it all finished and engineered i dont want to run the gauntlet of cops and their defects.

The car cruise scene has been big for years. Its not like its just taking off. Panthers has been a popular meet spot for at least 10 years now that I know of, probably longer!

Unless a car is obviously defective from the outside, e.g rediculously low or 35 inch wheels without the little mark on the rego sticker then U cant blame them. If a car with 17's and a FMIC was stickered it would be a bit harsh without further investigation. The thing could have a stock turbo and airbox for all they know making the FMIC legal.

Either way they r just doing their job and can justify it by saying it was surrounded by other modified cars and at the time was doing there job according to procedures. They had a suspicion. Thats all they need. If they are wrong u can clear it no worries. If u cant they were right. Simple as that. Its there job to investigate suspicion.

Sucks tho. It really does ruin the hobby of modifying cars. Other countries dont have this. NZ, USA, Indonesia for f**ks sake has 900hp GTR's running round legally. I dont see y Aus is so special that older guys in 10 second GT's and Monaro's can cruise making over 100db (legal I believe is 95db for pre 1975??) and not running a cat convertor yet a younger guy in an import which is "suspected at close to" 90db gets stickered out of suspicion. I hate that word lol.

Pretty sure thats the idea!

They are strike force Taipan... Fighting the forces of evil, taking no prisonors, defecting the f*ck out of anything modified.

Hoons beware... they are... STRIKE FORCE TAIPAN!!!!

damn straight...

"Hoons" have been around for ages, and have been ruthlessly slaughtering out women and children for way too long!!! Dont you guys watch the news!?!? Wont someone please think of the children!!

dude 3 of the car a 4 wheel drives he defected the 1 of them cos it had factory driving lights how stupid is that then they defected my mates 4 door r32 for tinted rear taillights hellow they come stock but for some reason they dont know this if they dont know simple things like that show what they really must know

Tinted rear tail lights on an R32 standard? You sure you didnt just overhear the conversation with the cop?

"Nah fo sure bro.. they're full stock like that and shit aye"

Yeah tinted lights front or back r defectable as they "decrease visibility from the factory lighting". R32 tail lights r the same colour as R31, R33, R34, VL, EA....... They r red lol.

It is going too far, sort of justifiable by the road toll tho and the amount of hoons but seriously. I think they should do it like other countries, not be strict on mods, just be extra strict on policing the road laws like speeding and illegal racing etc. There is fun having a car that u can use on a track but there is no real need to over do it on a public road. If they really cracked down on speeding, u'd have a lot of modded cars going the same speed as a stock commodore. In fact.. Its these f**kin stock commodores that do most of the hooning! How many commo's/falcons do u see pulled over in comparrisson to Imports. Difference being the Commo drivers were driving like dicks and the Import bonnets r up. I see the good that is trying to be done, but I think from the persective of the driving and pedestrian public they r going about it the wrong way.

My 2 cents thats all

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
