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.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
