my 1st encounter with the police in my skyline


Recommended Posts

well tonite it finally happened, I was wondering how much longer it was going to take. Nearly owning the car for 2 years and this is the first time the police have taken any interest :P

It was dark, midnight me and my friends were down the beach in a car park. There was also this other car with steamed up windows but thats not part of the story :(

All of a sudden we see headlights then high beams then a cop car. Sure enough it was the police :P

A younger officer got out and also and older officer. We said hello etc etc they asked us what we were doing then asked if we had ID on us etc we gave it to the older officer. While the older officer was taking down our details the younger officer was looking at my car. He seemed rather interested he called it a "beast" and asked "how it went". Not once did he make any reference to the P plates, nor did he question or hassel me about power etc etc. He said it was an "awesome car" :(

this made my night my first encounter with the police and it was 100% positive. :uh-huh: ,

TOG = Traffic Operations Group or Unit which ever.. They specialised in canaries and digging modified cars/cameras and not your ordinary crime coppas. You can tell from their car by looking at the lights. The normal crime coppas have 2 separate lights whereas the TOGS have 1 bar of light.

That is good police work... being friendly whilst keeping check that everything is OK.

And I can tell you now u dont want to deal with the TOG. My run in with them ended up with me 11 points down and them about $1000 up ... they didnt give me any canaries suprsiingly tho.

nah these guys werent the TOGS. Im happy about that :P

We were waiting and asked them if they were "going to bust the people having sex in that car with the steaming windows" but they told us to have a good night and didnt go over there :( could have caught a glimpse :P

ive had a few run ins with the police aswell, not up to anything dodgy : )... just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Aslong as ur not bein a nuisance or causin any trouble cops a pretty reasonable.

I just live in a dodgy area n i spose they r suspicious of 3 or 4 cars together at 2am

They usually take your details for the sake of their superiour, makes em look like they wernt sitting on their asses all day/night

In one week, i had my details taken down 3 times (not doing anything wrong, same as u, mates in carparks and such), in the last instants i actually questioned why they would take my details down even though i had not done anything wrong

i also noted if it was crime purposes

he laughed and showed me an A4 tabled sheet with details of other people and he said, quote:

"you see this sheet son? ...if i dont fill this up by the end of the night, then itll look like weve been doing nothing all night"

*shrugs*

he didnt get out of the car either, i had to tell him when m rego expired which was ironic of his sheet :D

question remains .. why did they have to get your details??

They take them down as they have a quota sheet.

They must check 'X' amount of licenses etc whilst on 'X' hour duty.

Just so they aint driving to and from Macca's all night trying pick-up chicks.

Also... yeah i agree. Lucky you didnt cop one of the pricks from TOG.

Even in the police force it'self they are know to be guys with vendetta's to everyone and everything.

But normal coppers are usually great!

Actually say night i saw two cars smoking the tyres and both NORMAL coppers just gave them warnings and let them go with nothing further.

If it was TOG ... i shudder to think.

haha, funny stuff

the other night one of my mates was doin nuts at kingspark, all of sudden cops started flashin their party lights.

He was in a supra n 1 of the cops started talken to him and the passenger about supercharged corollas (the passenger drives a Trueno with a 4AGZ)

Cops ended up given them a choice between a yellow licky or a fine... could have gone worse

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
