The other night my mate was riding his bike illegally, I live in an area where there is alot of Alley ways and not alot of streets. As he left his house 2 seconds later cop came down the street, my mate kept going and didn't stop because the cop was going the other way... the cop did a u turn and tried to follow him but mind you that my mate had already turned into another street and eventually the cop "caught up."

Even thou there is no way for the cop to check his speed , he got clocked at doing 90km/h in a 50 zone, evading police & unregistered bike & underage driving.

* Cop didnt show his radar gun.

I don't get how they can do him for doing 90km an hour when they werent even close to him for one, they were driving thru small S bends. Like i said earlier we have alot of alleys in my area so if my mate wanted to evade the police he could do it with ease, on a bike, on foot.

Another thing is the cops said that they were just driving around the area, even thou the nearest cop station is probly 10-15kms away there are atleast 2 cops per day patrolling my street even thou its probly only 100 houses long.

Does this come under harrasment because they always seem to be in our street trying to catch me and my mates driving because a few of us drive imports & illegally.

Even thou it is illegal for some of my mates to drive, which i do agree that they shouldn't drive/ride.

This one time i was driving my mates VN who doesnt live in my suburb or anywhere near and I was driving home and i saw cops pulling into my street as i was about to stop near my house... they speed up and try to pull me over even thou i have already gotten out of the car and i'm walking to my door ? Can they still ask for license etc ? do me for mods ? ask q's about who owns the vechicle ?

Any thoughts ?

Its called estimation. Officers are recognised estimator's of speed. So do the math.

Also legally - Police do not have to show you the gun, if they even have one.

Thoughts? Evading/Unreg/Underage - basically seals the deal on the speed - think about it.

As for the rest, two sides to every story so I don't buy it. Sounds like you guys are honestly a pack of donkeys, I don't blame the law for keeping an eye on you.

Pity they don't do the same around my area.

To the first question - no, and it sounds like they should be watching you.

To the second question - of course they can.

I wish they do the same in my area (more cops required), as at night I could regularly hear screeching tyre of cars doing drifting somewhere in the vicinity but I can't tell just by looking out the window, and my street is suppose to be a 50km/h residential area but the straight bit in front of the house is a frequent for bikes and cars to have a woosh around at least 80km/h based on estimates.

I called VicRoads suggested installing a few speed bumps on my street, they say it's council's matter, so I might ring council but council inspector don't work overtime (e.g. 11pm - 2am where I heard the hoon drifting around) so maybe I will ring local police station to report hoon behaviour in my area. I'm getting pissed myself - there are kids on the sidewalk, people walking dogs - someone is going to get hurt if the behaviour continues. I actually see one bike doing wheelie in my street with my own eyes - WTF...?

I drive an import , yes - like you, V35 now and previously R33 turbo for 5 years (no defects/been driving side by side with cops car on the road no worries), and I think if cops frequent your street, most likely there's been reported trouble in the area (I see youre in sth eastern - is it dandenong hoon hotspots?), and have made some reports. if you're not the hoons they're looking for, maybe one of your other neighbours is the hoon who have pissed off all your other neighbours and the result is what you're experiencing right now. since the cops don't know which car is the culprit then I think they have the right to check on anyone they suspected is the culprit. IMHO they (ur reporting neighbours and cops) are doing the right things. If you're not doing the illegal things - why are you worried about the cops?

You just answered your own question...

Why do you think cops are after you patrolling your street.

Its the coppers job to deal with these situations.

Any reason for driving "illegally"?

Every cop in my area knows my street.

I don't drive illegally, its just one or two of the locals.

I haven't got a speeding fine, nor have i hooned.

The only thing i've been done for is not having my p's up.

What I was asking was how can they say My mate was speeding if they couldnt see his bike mind you this was probly around 9pm, and like i said b4... if he was evading cops he could of got away with ease. no question about it.

I'm not worried about getting pulled over that much, but it would fry you if every 3rd time i drove down my street i get pulled over and driving a skyline they would likely want to dick me for everything which would be annoying.

I never said we were hooning. Just there probly one or two of the locals drive underage. My area is a bit of a troubled area but I see there point.

With a good lawyer he "may" get off the speeding charge, but pretty doubtful as he broke a few other laws.

If police are patrolling your street, there is good reason, and your mate just justified their presence.

Do the crime, pay the fine, do the time :)

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - My car has heaps of small dents, that definitely need filler but are you also sanding the area to 240 grit to fill it in with filler? I always thought you have to go to bare metal for filler to stick but that contradicts the point then that you can put filler on epoxy primer.  If you aren't going to bare metal, AND not putting epoxy primer how are you making the dent stick to the paint?

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.

      BCNR33 Blower Motor Resistor - Testing

      By itsforandres · Posted

      hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00

      R33 general questions

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I don't know the answer to this, but did you have a look at the parts diagrams on amayama.com and see what they list around it for your car? As an example this should be it on my car. That's how I would check for required clips and things like that. But, I take no responsibility for you ending up with a box full of random OEM hoses, washers and clips after going down that path a few times. This definitely has never happened to me

      Most driving should* be done on one side of single lane divided roads. In the RHD world, you drive on the left side of the dividing line and the road is probably cambered equally on both sides. So your side of the road slopes away to the left. The same is true for the LHD world, just everything swapped to the other side and opposite slope. With a perfectly neutral, straight ahead wheel alignment designed to drive straight on a perfectly flat surface (or at least one that is level on the left-right axis, even if it has some slope in the fore-aft axis) you will not be able to drive on a cambered road without the car wanting to drift down the camber. You will need to add steering input in the opposite direction all the time. This is annoying. The solution has always been to set the camber and/or the caster to produce a continuous turning force in the opposite direction of the camber. The car will drive straight on the kind of camber for which it was set up, presumably as described in the top paragraph. But.... when the car is set up this way, as soon as you get into a lane, usually on a multi-lane surface road or highway, where the camber is not as presumed during setup, the car will usually pull to one side. In the RHD world, if you are in the fast lane on a big divided road, you are probably on the opposite camber compared to what the car was set up for (ie, sloping down to the right) and the combination of the setup and that camber will make the car want to go right pretty hard. Even a perfectly flat lane will tend to want to go right. There's no getting around it. Civil engineers who know their stuff (which is not an assumption that can always be made) will attempt to keep the variation in camber across a multi-lane road as small as possible, and if they can will attempt to make the fast lane as close to flat, or even cambered in the same direction as all the other lanes. This takes a lot of planning for drainage, control of levels, ability to deal with the elevation changes that occur at road junctions, etc etc. So it's not trivial to get it right. When they do make it work, then the annoyance is reduced, along with tyre wear, fuel consumption, etc. In theory, the civil engineers are supposed to worry about those aspects of road design also. * This used to be true, but now with very large highway systems, even just multi-lane surface roads running everywhere, it is less true now than it was, but the old assumption is the basis for describing the phenomenon, so let's just run with it for the moment.
