There was sooooo a blitz on in the Bayside area tonight.

1. Driving down beach rd from Brighton Beach station and there is the policed riced up Monaro blocking a driveway out of a parking lot along the beach, was coming around a corner at the time and i don't think i was speeding (by that i mean, i don't think i was doing 62 or 63 :) ) I'm not 100% on my speedo anyway.

So past the Monaro and i swear, 500m's down the road a blue i would assume BA XR8 had a coppa with the gun out the window, he too was parked in a driveway. As i had dropped back after the Monaro, like below 60, i was bringing my speed back up to 60, but may have gone to like 62, 63 then dropped back again. But by the time i was checking all that out, i look up and there was the f*cking Ford!! The bit of beach rd they chose was seriously 2km's or dead straight, flat road. Having TWO cop cars setup there is ridiculous!! Why not placed them where there is a known accident area or a dangerous stretch of road!!! Not a 2km stretch of dead flat, dead straight road!!! :D

Anyway, off down sth rd getting petrol, pull into shell. Look across to sth rd and see another cop car and then this ute go past him in the right lane he must have been doing 71 or 72 (traffic was all going same speed, he was just slightly faster) On went the lights, so cops must have been sitting dead on 70 and this other car crawls past at like 2km's faster and they pull him/her over!!

On way back home, another cop car, this time VY SS, pulls over this bike as he makes a right hand turn and the cops were going straight. Cops saw something, i don't know what because it was a legit turn and change their lanes, turn the lights on and pull the bike over. I still for the life of me can't figure out what for, i guess they assumed they would find something and get more $$ or they hadn't got their quota for the night or whatever.

So that's 4 coppers now, and i proceed to see 2 more down Hampton st on the way home prob going around hassling kids, that's about all they seem to do in Bayside.

Anyways, with all these revenue raising threads, i thought i'd add my disgust too. If i get a speading fine for like 63km/hr on that stretch of beach rd there i am going to be the unhappiest camper ;) Why the hell waste police resources like that and put 2 expensive (relatively) cops cars within 500m on a dead flat, dead straight road??

It was night time, so there was no way of knowing if i was booked was there? He had a gun leaning out the window, no flash, but do they even use those anymore? How do they get ur license plate num?

someone, contact M.A.D. :mad:

I was driving home last night up mt.alexander road (@12:30am). I saw a panel van had pulled over an VS commadore. And then On bulla rd about 5km's further down there was a Booze bus. And they didn't let ANY drivers through.

I mean the road is 2 lanes and the testing lane was full of cars and the guy with the light thinginy didn't wave through other cars until the testing lane was cleared, as they normally do. He just held up traffic and EVERYONE was breathtested, including the VS commadore that had just been pulled up a few k's before.

They're probably getting ready for there blitz for the footy finals and leading up to summer.... Was reading in the Age that they're gonna be absolutely everywhere...

I think I must be lucky - I've had my Skyline for four months now and only received three fines... :(

Was same at maroondah hwy... i don't think i was clear about but they blocked off all 4 lanes, so you had to pull into the service road to get the breatho. So they tested basically everybody.

the female officer said they were on the lookout for a blue skyline because its driver was "bad" but i'm not what that was all about to be honest..

bout 500m's Waz, and that's more a trap than a deterrant. I would understand if they put 2 cop cars (specially the expensives one which they have last night) in one of baysides black spot areas, but this stretch of road would possible be the safest in melbourne! dead flat, dead straight, 60 limit. 2 lanes either way - they were there just to make money, not to increase the safety of motorists

But i do see ur point, and that's basically what i did. Dropped back a bit, then once passed, brought my speed back up, but not 100% if i like brought it back up and past a bit. Like to 63

So i would had to have been pulled over if i was speeding that night??

Andrew - walked home from st.kilda road!!!!! R U NUTS!? they're called taxis, pretty handy things :P

haha, maybe u didn't see one ..... but they might have seen u.... muahahahah ;)

nah seriously, if u remember brighton beach car park from that Import Cruise, they sometimes camp there. What i means is that at the entrance of the car park, they pull in, spin the car around looking like it's going to go, but just back a bit so they don't block the driveway. So basically, backed them selves into a corner of the car park, and have the gun trained down beach rd as they have a clear view of it. Bad thing is, is that you come around the corner on beach rd and u'll NEVER see them, bcos they'll be behind u as u drive pass, tucked up away in the station car park. I thought that was a bit rude! :P

when were they trying to do anything opther than set traps??

a speed camera on a highway that people know about is a deterrant

a speed camera at the bottom of a hill is revenue raising

grrrrrrrrrr if i could piss on cameras i would...

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
