Morning all,

So I was on my way to work this morning and just as I'm about to park the car the Toyota Aurion throws its red n blues on. I couldn't think of what I had done wrong so I pull over and two plain clothes cops get out. They identified themselves and showed me their badges etc.

They asked if I knew why I had been pulled over, I said I had no idea and they told me I had been driving erratically :( . So I'm waiting for the ticket to come and he starts asking me about my driving history n whether I've ever been to court for anything. Now I'm really confused.

He takes my license and does the license and rego check, everything is fine as expected. When he comes back he asks me for a contact number? Seriously WTF now. Give him my mobile and he tells me that they have black flagged me. But if he was a traffic cop they would of fined me and probably taken my car!

Does anyone know what this means?

I assume it is something that will come up during a rego check on the car and give them more reason to pull me over for random breath tests.. :D

Can anyone confirm?

means that ur car has been reported previously to police about driving in an unsafe way, most probably by an off duty police officer. just be prepared to get pulled over very often now and have ur car searched

Well it wasn't a previous thing the cops that pulled me over told me THEY had just black flagged me. I don't think I was driving dangerously. I definetly wasn't speeding. The only thing I can think of is I went from the outside lane of a 3 lane carriageway to the inside lane. But I indicated properly each time it wasn't a massive swoop across all lanes effort.

Ahwell f**king bullshit I'll just have to be extra extra careful from now on. Any idea how long the black flag lasts?

stuff it all, change your number plates and the black flag is lifted.

A friend of mine bought a skyline from a drug dealer (didnt know at the time), but he was getting pulled over left right and centre. One copper asked him "do you have any drugs in your car again?", held a gun at him and told him to get out of the car and keep his hands visible. Then he realised its not the same person and advised him to change his plates so he wasn't mistaken again....

Yep my car was flagged as well from when it was stolen, they had my personalised plates and I was a "person of interest" I think it's been sorted out now. Saying that though it was 3 years after the car was stolen that I was first intercepted about it :S

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
