I have noticed yesterday around belconnen and civic there have been loads of cops driving around and doing license and car inspections. Has anyone noticed this too or know why?

Yeh Mate, I have noticed it alot. I usually see at least 4 cop cars or paddy wagons everytime I head out. They are everywhere. I've seen motorcycle cops in the middle of roads with radar guns, Pursuit Cars hiding down from Speed Vans.

How vigorous are the inspections you have seen? are they just checking stickers?

I haven't noticed anymore than usual but I'm southside. Filled up at BP next to a red AFP car last night but that's about it, haven't seen many others at all...

Maybe there's a blitz on the northside or something?

Yeah, too many awesome cars on the northside. Probably trying to fix the ratio

yeh a Xmas Cruise would be awesome.

I think you will find that Feds dont waste their time with petty traffic infringements and motor vehicle related matters. They leave that to ACT Policing.

I think there has been a substantial number of recruits over the last several months. Must have graduated and started duties.

Certainly they are not a "not-for-profit" organisation.

I wonder if you can buy shares? But as Tax payers I suppose we are shareholders of sorts. When do they pay the dividends from our shares? I could use the money to pay the fines and increase my share holdings.

Long gully/mugga lane is fine, that's the way I went back from hume.

Also, don't go back through QBN, just in case. there was a cop with a radar gun, but I wouldn't put it past him wanting to inspect ppl (not that I think he's allowed lol)

The only problem I have with this is that the last time I was defected, the cop & RTA dudes ignored my engineers certificate. I have my wheels and FMIC engineered by Ray Spence, passed Dickson with no issues, yet on the side of the road they didn't seem to care.. So I just find it easier for myself to avoid the roadside inspections.

Just to clarify. The guys in red cars with Australian Federal Police written down the side are called Uniform Protection Officers and deal primarily with Guarding high profile government officials, bomb threats, embassy related matters, terrorism, they are not instructed to perform general traffic duties. When I say ACT policing its general title given to regular police officers around canberra, because technically AFP are national. Federal Agents, Uniform Protection officers etc wouldnt waste there time pulling you over unless you had a bomb or some of columbias finest.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
