Spotted 3 Police standing in front of the ticket stands in the Adelaide train station in the morning at 8:15am at least 3 times a week, every week...

They just stand there and do nothing. Why bother? Shouldn't they be investigating a crime? No one is going to bash anyone for a train ticket when walking off the train...

Good to see SAPOL are putting the resources where they're required.

its funny, there is maybe 1 death IN the hills caused by spirited driving a year, yet every night there is a stabbing/shooting/assult/fire/robbery......... pity the police cant get there priorities right

And most of the time its a motorcyclist pushing it way to hard!

You'd think both SAPOL and the Government would look at the statistics since AIR closed and realise the common link between having no drag strip and the increase in street racing!

But i guess thats just common sense and intelligence that us on the otherside of the thin blue line can actually see!

oops, nah i was refering to my daily cos thats what i drive 95 percent of the time

i better edit that thread cos its not for sale anymore :blink:

great, more bad news!!!! channel 10 news ticker on the bottom of the screen a few min ago? , "more HOONS loose cars in SA "?

not sure if anyone caught the current affair program a week ago or so, the opening shot about hoons was a R32 doing wicked smoking doughnuts.

but the rego plates arent from SA ? hello cant the news use footage from the right state, not fuel the fires of public perception based upon bad news reporting with invalid facts or photos?

I bet I could find defects in 50% or more of the cars on my street , all of them are "stock"fam cars, or dilapidated shit boxes that shouldnt be on the roads.

but yet they TARGET our cars cause they're polished up and stand out in the crowd of "SHEEP" cars , why dont they slaughter(Target) the SHEEP cars instead. before the SHEEP cars kill someone on bald tires or no brakes ? just my two cents worth ...lol sorry I'll go bury my head in the sand and hope this stops on its own. :blink: it wont !!!!

As long as people keep illegally modifying their skylines, then the police will keep on targeting skylines, cos they know that 80% off our cars have illegal mods and are easy do defect.

+1^^^ Goes for any sports cars.. I don't see the need to do it it illegaly i have nearly 230kw atw and its all legal/ i have been checked and i could easly push that to 400kw/atw and be legal. They bring it on themselves by making it to low (and when its to low it does't handle as good stupid mod for a sports/street car) front bars all cut up that look crap just so they can put a cheap ass huge intercooler in that is no better then a expensive smaller legal one... do you see where i am going with this..

Tell him he's dreamin...

No seriously. I know it sounds nice, but the reality of the police in this state is that they are here to make money for the government. NOT to promote justice. Sounds sad, but theres no way in hell that things are going to change.

-D

Wrong is wrong even if every one is doing it, Right is right even if no one is doin it.... Things will always change mate but people have to want them to change. You can't choose your life but u do choose how you live it...

id have no issue naming those who choose to be dick heads and make it hard for the rest of us.........

+ 1 ^^

I have done and will keep reporting people for being dickheads. And by the way burnouts are for idiots and to warm your tyers up for a drag, but any car can sit there and spin its wheels no point and bad for your car, But every one to there own but just keep it of the street it looks crap ll over nicce local streets...

And the people that say i would't do it if there was a track.. BullS*#T... Yea you would because there is a track in every state and maybe its not cheap

well drags are ints like $30 bucks for the night to drag. But its not cheap due to LIABILITY INSURANCE>!>!>

Police don't pick on imports like people say i see more old holdens, fords, geminis you know pulled over then imports they don't pick on anyone anyway it is there job, and if you had a legal car then it would't be a problem anyway, you can't go into a shop and take a mars bar and not pay cause it is ILLEGAL, so why is it different to have, and you say it "ILLEGAL defects" and think its ok NOTE : KEY WORD ILLEGAL>

Anyway just my 2 cents good on ya Mr Sniper911 im with ya 100%

What mods are you running GTT? QLD and SA laws regarding defects are vastly different, especially with your mod plate scheme.

If "hoon" motorists then commits another driving offence, they face the risk of their car being sold with all profits going to the victims of crime fund.

WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT

biggest load of shit ever , "victims of crime fund"

oh and out of all them cars impounded etc , how many were skylines ?

im dying to know.

Please let us in on your secrets to making a genuine legal 400rwkw or 230rwkw for that matter out a GTT skyline. I'm intrigued to say the least.

I think it all really depends on the attitude of the officer and the attitude of the driver, be a wise arse and they will do you! I had more hasles in my VK charger than i've had with my Skyline, act like a knob and you will get picked up.

I've had mixed dealings with the police, and the good out weigh the bad, well so far!

I just think the police are like magpies, they love shiney stuff :blush:

Saphire, read: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5006301,00.html

That's what the Channel 10 article will be about.

thanks mate I dont read..lol

if you guys notice on the bottom of the page they ask for comments on the Hoon laws subject, has everyone put there comments in on the subject yet? the media is listening , poorly but at least you have a option to vent to them ?

should be mandatory to SAU people to rule the thread on the subject ??????

I have commented, but I doubt it'll get approved lol.

I just sent in a book..lol but loved the comment they give you afterwards.

so in otherword's, they control the media and the free voice of others? one sided views of things once again?

and clear errors of fact, how many times do we see blatant errors of fact by the media ?(daily)

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
