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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
