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.

Yeppo. On the side of the road your engineers certificate means diddly dick.

If he wanted to, a copper could send a brand new, off the truck, car over the pits. The onus is on you to prove to the *cough* qualified *cough* staff at Dickson MVR that your vehicle is road worthy.

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.

Ahh yes the old protective service became part of the AFP, they renamed to the Uniform Protection Officers within the AFP.

where do you guys get this information?

the amount of misinformed generalised comments here is just ridiculous! I suggest that if you dont know what your talking about dont speak. most of the idiotic rumours about cars, roads and police are due to forums and clubs spreading stories from a mates mates mate.

Hello, you must have found your way here by mistake.

We're having a conversation on a topic, and each who have something to put in will, as suggested, put in their knowledge or belief.

What you've done is not that, but merely tell us we're wrong.

While I don't doubt you're probably correct in saying so, as your reasoning makes perfect sense, you failed to back yourself up with the CORRECT information.

Having not done so has only made you look like one of the people spreading misinformation.

Also, I type like a moron. Continue fellow Skyline peeps.

As is most of the information in the world, based on past experiance and scuttlebut.

As Trozzle said, put up or shut up. We love to be corrected by facts, please supply them.

^ This comment is true. They all used to be protective services but now they are a part of the AFP.

Please correct our comments if you have "inside information".

there are a couple of regulars on here who know who i am and know where i get information from.

to give you a hint i have a family member who is a high ranking AFP officer another in PTU and close mates in unifrom. whilst i realise some of you get targeted pretty badly for petty issues like exhaust and height it does create some poor stories.

yes protective service/ AFP wont bother most of the time to pull you up however they are still linked to uniforms and will have no issue putting your plates over the radio.

just remember a lot of police are car and bike nuts and a lot are in with some clubs.

Now at the end of the day wouldnt you raterh see more police on the roads then stupid cameras that have no discretion....

I don't think anyone was bagging out the cops?? (except maybe Sinista but he always does :banana: )

I also have friends who are police officers, so I certainly dont have an issue with them. But I'm still wondering where the mis-information is... we cleared up the protective services thing? What are all the other "misinformed generalised comments" in this thread?

You made mention of uninformed generalist garbage in your first post. But you seem to have backed up what was generally being said in a general way.

I'd rather more police targeting those who harm others, rather then revenue raising. But yes I'd love more MARKED patrols then revenue raisers.

PS what does PTU stand for?

Yeah I'd totally love to see more funding spent so more cops with a bone to pick can follow me around and pull me over. :cool:

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
