Tbh, in my opinion it doesn't matter what we post up on here or how much we kiss their ass when they turn up to our cruises. Cops will NEVER be on the side of car enthusists, cops can turn up at our meet points within a few minutes of us getting there, but they still can't manage to turn up to scene of violent crimes? Cops at the moment haven't got their priorities right, with a stupidly high rate of violent crime around perth always on the rise, they would rather put all their time, money and power into stopping people doing...burnouts.

It's mind boggling the Cops can threaten to take the cars of people who just happen to be in proximity or associated with someone driving recklessly.

Is that actually legal?

The whole idea of Cops having these arbitrary and discretionary powers is anti-democratic and just WRONG.

This is how Cops in 3rd world tip-pot dictatorships strut about.

shesh look with my experience so far with the 5-0 is, if it gets reported then they get sent out to invesitagate, if the same incedent get reported again they come back out and the pull up and wait around to catch the so'n'so in the act. but long story short if you got sent to same area X amont of times in one day/night you'd eventually crack the shit's and take it out on the 1st potentual "hoon" car you see too. Its not a fair system but our "super organised and overly intelligent government" believe this is how to deal with WA's road toll. probelm is that the idiots out just dont give a f**k, and so in the end "WE" the members of clubs and other social groups get f**ked over for it.

personally if the dick getting done countless times for the burnouts and what not should just get locked up for the time equivalent to thier fine in days e.g $1000 fine = 1000 days jail time, that should give the dicks plenty of time to think. That or just cut thier bloody legs off at the base of the knees then they cant drive lol.

Basically what im saying in my rambblings above is that its not just the cops being c**ts its sometimes a case of they are just pissed off and unfortunatley some of us may have it taken out on us.

Oh hey dude from the fisrt page if you know the car owner can you kick him in the shin for being a tool?

You're kidding, right?

Just a quick question...how many people have died doing burnouts? how many 16yo girlfriends have been thrown out the front windscreen from doing a doughnut? and how many friends do you know that held their best friend dying in their arms with parts of their body laid out across the road from doing heli's? Maybe it was the retard trying to drift a round-about at 80km's on a surburban street, maybe it was the drunken driver who didnt inform that certain girlfriend he'd been drinking? and maybe, just maybe it was the guy more than 3 times over the legal limit who smashed into a certain best friend, killed her and got 8 months prison?

Cops are scum, no ifs or buts about it. Dogs.

Gurney, you haven't changed much from high school, but you make a lot more sense now days :P

I work in Mirrabooka, and it takes 40mins+ for a single Police car to come and deal with the many fights we have outside. And yet when my friend bunnyhopped her car due to the new clutch, 5 cop cars turned up in 10 minutes to hoon law her! that's was definately an eye opener!

Cops aren't evil, they aren't dickheads, and they aren't unneccessary. Unfortunately, they aren't spending the time on the right jobs and so shit gets worse.

That's my opinion anyway.

Yep, our police officers are definitely built of sturdy character, here's a couple of examples:

And the winner of the biggest travesty of all goes to:

http://wotnews.com.au/like/tribunal_reinst..._crash/1782138/

dont forget: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuilHgp-vUc - that occured in WA too

remember, the police are more experienced drivers, and have completed numerous driving courses

and this is my favourite: the news reporter sums it up in the first 2 lines:

------------

and where the hell are the police when you need them??? the place i work at got broken into at night, took 1 hour for police to arrive WHEN IRONICALLY THE CLARKSON POLICE STATION WAS 900M AWAY. and here you find out they're harrassing Performance vehicle owners

shame

Thanks Maylo for your personality analysis, unfortnately you didn't know me then and you don't know me now. Seems you've grown a nice healthy ego these days, but you'll still always be Maylo to me lol(thats not a good thing btw). Funny how apparently we can now get down for being in the vicintiy of hoons or people with modified cars, meaning we can get demerit points taken away and hoon lawed for being around someone or a goup of people that might to a burnout.

I swear the wa police force take every power hungry, high school drop out retard, give em a badge and a gun and say go piss some people off and while your there make us some money too.

Why weren't the details of the person responsible for the offense handed to the cops?

This would be the best way I can think of to disassociate yourselves from the blatent stupidity, and engender a more positive relationship between skyline owners and the police. Srsly, cops turn up and accuse you all of being "hoons" the best thing to do would be to say "No, just this idiot" and hand over the details. What is the cop gonna do then? Stand there and threaten the bystanders or go after the moron that caused the problem in the first place? And if he does go for option A, well, we all have camera phones etc these days....

Hey guys settle a little bit, i agree 200% that hoon laws need to be changed and that currectly they are not fair.

however in the police defense they are told what to do by their boss the same as we all are at work, and i know some of the things i do others dont like but it is my job and i have no say. this being said i have been pulled over many times and not once have i been asked to pop the bonnet or had the car looked over, once they see i am not just another young statistic they leave me to enjoy my day (now in my area i get waves cause all the POPO have pulled me over already :D), i have a brother who has a skyline also and he even has a CF bonnet and yet still nothing from the POPO cause we dont draw attention by shooting through intersections or 60km around a bend to test the car...

What i am saying is they are just doing their job as they have been told, and if your polite they will not even keep you for 30 seconds and your on your way.

This cockhead was not doing his job. He was being an overbearing egotistical tosser who said:

"We were told by one friendly officer that if it continues to be a problem, everyone on these cruises WILL have their cars seized and towed away regardless of whether they were involved with the hoon behaviour, and all cruises WILL be shut down and banned. These were his exact words, and I was told to let everyone else know."

This is not doing your job, this is threatening law-abiding HPV enthusiasts to seize their cars just for being on a cruise. If the idiot had done his job he would have investigated as to who was responsible and not threatened those who were innocently exercising their rights to enjoy a night out with their cars.

What this prick did was nothing short of criminal harassment and abuse of his position. He should have been reported to the IAB with the statements of all of those within earshot of his threat.

It would be no different if a fight had broken out in a pub between two guys and the cop rocked up and arrested everyone for assault and public disturbance.

Sorry man, this fool went way too far and it's people like him who have turned many HPV owners against police.

2LV8ETR - i understand where your coming from i have come across 1 officer like this and i did report him for abuse, i have no idea if he got a repremand or not but i did report it...

If the officer said exactly what your saying did you report it? also if you really do believe that the POPO will close down cruises and take all the cars then i think your a little nieve to think that 50 cars will get taken, no this is not a stab at you personally as i dont think you really believe this to actually happen, in which case it is water off a ducks back the same as if someone wanted to start a drunken fight with you, you would walk away, be angry for a day but forget it by the next drunken night out, so please dont take the actions of one officer or any other blown-out-of-proportion stories cause people are angry about the way they were treated, cause they think what they did was not wrong.

I know there are tool POPO out there as there is tools in every profession it is just the POPO are in the lime light and our jobs are not, please keep this in mind that we only hear the bad most of the time.

i reckon alot of police are just throwing there weight around thinking that because they are here to enforce the law they are alowed to make up there own rules, i got pulled over a few weeks ago because the officer thought that i didnt have my P plates up, when i showed him where my P plates was his first sentence after that was... pop your bonnet, he then proceeded to ask me what my exhaust manifold was, and where was my permits for the manifold, catch can and fmic, then i told him i had passed the pits with all these mods (which i did) and he didnt believe me, so he told me to rev my car so i did to about 4000rpm he then told me to get out of my car and he revved it to 6000+rpm, i know this because i set the safc2 to record the highest rpm, he then told me that my bov was illegal and that if he pulled me over again and i still had my bov on i would get my car impounded (thats right IMPOUNDED not yellow stickerd) i know fair enough i run the risk of gettin a yellow but getting my car taken off me? thats bullshit if u ask me.

i dont see how police can do this to us, these cars are our pride and joy, some people spend $20,000+ modding there cars to how they want it to be and they are taking that away from us, maybe theyd rather us drive around in shitty old cars spending are money on crack (i know a bit extreme) or binge drinking. the laws are just too strict and how they pick on P platers is the biggest load of bullshit out there

Pretty sure the cops aren't allowed to rev your car (I've always revved it for them when asked), and they won't ask you to rev it to 6k.. if a cop got into my car and revved it to 6k I'd be pretty f**king pissed off.

yeh i wa well mad, but what could i do? i got away with no yellow sticker or any fines... i reckon if i would of argued wi him i wudnt of got off so easily

they rev to check for atmo bov right?

i got pulld up n yellowd before coz cops apparantly "heard my bov from 6cars back" as i moved about 50m from a traffic light to a cnr (i wont mention how they somehow 'safely' managed to get behind me from that far back and from that distance to the cnr) they pulled my bonnet and pointed to an air breather on my oil catch can "now that bov there is illegal" etc, no reving of my car.. i was fairly impressed with their hearing as it was raining and i cant even get boost from take off in the rain without bulk wheel spin..

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
