Andrew Scippione announced that...

NSW Police have to trim $28,000,000 off their budget for '09

Does this mean that as well as switching from 'phone calls out' to 'internet' that...

there'll be less fuel usage > less cruising/patrolling > greater restrictions on chasing > trimming defect flying squads like 'Taipan' ?

My suggestion is that...

Car Clubs only need to be more CREATIVE about where to meet up; like

a) Cemeteries (for great photos next to tombstones, gardens and the ultimate convoy look)

b) Modern Industrial Sites (for pics of cars reflected against the frequently cleaned glass panels)

c) Old industrial sites (for a grunge/rustic-look pic)

d) Old brickworks (as above)

e) Riverside spots

f) Bridges

g) Stagnant pond where you can park your car adjacent to it and snap a complete reflection of your wheels

KKs and MacDummy are so passe

but...

Beware of the mole.

BTW... Take your loooow ramps with you! Creativity tip? Most people use loooow ramps under the front wheels to change oil.

Why not use loooooow ramps under both wheels on ONE side for a groooovy pic?

Corny? Yeh sure! But hey... not when the pic comes out!

Sorry, I've :bunny::bunny::bunny: ED on too long. But since the Police stations have also been trimmed, one only needs to mark on a map where they are and meet up halfway between each pair = maths In other words, with those budget cuts above, you spread that taipan snake all over the place until it's chasing shadows and slithers away. My 2c. My 2c? Creativity can also mean that wherever you meet, you can set up a "Charity Photoshoot" where a $1 donation from each car goes to a nominated "Charity". Even tell Salvos or Exodus Foundation (for the homeless) to come a along with their donation box and collect = Credibility

Feel Good! Tez

God damn.. what are you on! 6.53am hmmm... lols!

But thats true, hopefully this will be a win for the Car Enthusiasts!

Secondly, less defects.. = less revenue..

Now they could turn around and say, we're not cutting anything anymore, so we're gonna' jack up the defect quota this year :banana:

Could work either way, but i really think the trimming is gonna' effect the amount of "manpower" available for useless traffic offences.

Do the 'Fancy Dress' hire shops stock Salvation Army uniforms in my size to add credibility to my creativity and I'll stand there at the next meet with my slotted coin box?

...btw i would take the donations to the right 'er place

I will donate to you $20 if you can "lend" me a box of codeine phosphate 30mg pwease :banana:

An SAU NSW V-P propositioning a registered pharmacist for some Codeine Phos without a prescription? Wow!

I haven't had as good an offer since receiving vows in front of the altar!

Tell you what Connie, a little birdie told me that my two pods are impregnated with the stuff.

Now if I turn my back, I'll accept a buck a minute whilst you suck it out. That means you have 20 minutes starting ....

starting......

starting......

NOW !!!

Salvo Is At Hand!!!

Nup, it PAINS me to say that I cannot and will not dispense those analgesic tablets for you.

You might be suffering greatly after those final 2 tablets are finished and it PAINS me to watch animals suffer, but...

I have important work here, writing a submission to Chief Superintendant Andrew Scippione on how to trim $28M off his budget by

i) not wasting fuel sending Pairs of Plods to Maccas and KKs in the dead of night

ii) not lurking around in unmarked cars on traffic matters when they could be used for real crime

iii) not spending heaps of time looking under bonnets

iv) spending more time helping little old ladies cross the road

v) allocating more push-bikes for pursuit purposes

vi) bringing back Morris Cooper Ss from mothballs so that two overweight Plods can lose weight on daytime stake-outs in the summer sun

vii) cancelling all stress-leave so that greater Plod Presence is around to stake-out all St George ATMs and finally...

viii) fleet-purchasing Skylines from SAU to frighten EVOs and STIs off the streets. What a rabble they are !!!!

funniest thread I've read all night. I keep forgetting my loooooow ramps though, can I use the scissor jack for an emergency lift when my bro whips out his camera to photograph my ride? Once I went on myspace by accident and I heard it's all about the angles.

hehe... Yes that's right. Alfred Hitchcock was a master at it.

And in the film Dead Poet's Society, the English teacher played by Robin Williams got all the kids to stand up on their desks to see the whole world from a different angle.

If Mr Skippyonly could see things from a different angle, and also trim his budget, he could tow Facsimile Police Cars out onto straight stretches of highway, so that from a distance, they look like real ones. Even the fatigued driver suddenly wakes up & looks at his speedo. It's been done in some parts of Japan and it can save lives at low cost. :P

Dont worry. It has been suggested. Until some clown decided it would be smart for drive through the fake police car cutout as a joke. It was then considered too dangerous in case they tried it on a real car by accident.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.

      The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.

      One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
