Guys/Girls, Just a warning that over next few weeks we are running operation R.A.I.D in relation to Drink/Drug driving with ALL units tasked to do Road Blocks every shift.

We have already got 3 drink driver's in last 3 nights and only checked about 15 cars. I hope none of you are stupid enough to drink and drive anyway but obviously there will be lots of intercepts which will lead to more fines, EPA, NOU etc also.

FYI One of the 3 was in a R34 GTT (Modified) thankfully not a club member.

Take care and be warned that expect to be intercepted more frequently over the next month or so.

Operation Runs until Mid December but other similiar operations will run through Xmas and New Years. There are always operations on but this one is being pushed very hard. It's the first time that I have seen/had instructions that all units to perform at least 1/2 hour to hour of Breath Test site every shift and extra Traffic car shifts rostered.

IMO we should be doing similiar things anyway when quiet pulling over cars for RBT's etc but I absolutely hate Drink Drivers.

simple message would be, get done for drink driving, its your own fault, get done for driving a illegal car, again its your own fault. Deal with it.

Wonder how many thread's we'll see popping up over the next few weeks with those who get done, just hope the forum members have some common sense over the next few weeks leading up to the festive time.

Thanks for the heads up Graeme. They seem to be cracking down on the fair cops who do their job instead of raising revenue, so I hope you don't get into trouble for posting warnings up. I imagine this campaign will receive some media coverage anyway?

Ok, I've just copped my 5th defect notice in the Melbourne CBD...what the heck....I never ever get searched in the CBD...they done me hard...everything from POD, Power FC, CF bonnet, HID lights, Blow off valve, front mounted intercooler to my suspension was noted to be FIX or REMOVED. Then they slapped me with EPA as well.

One of the cops said that they're apparently in a blitz as Graeme had advised with specific defecting 'unroadworthy' vehicles in mind. Although they were nice about it...just made it obviously that something's up...damn it!

Shit, it has begun!

I had a couple of cops cars tailing me today through a couple of different speed zones...gave up chase when he saw I wasn't going to do anything illegal...he was sure as hell watching me close though. I suppose if they really want to get you they can/will...

Sure do!

I lived out out home for a year or two, know what I discovered? It's a huge waste of money!

If I was single I might consider moving out again, but my GF lives at home too. Well, more like a mansion, doubt she'll ever move out.

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
