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 :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
