Back to topic, to confirm that operation RAID has started, this morning I was driving to work, I saw a divi van with a sticker on the back of it saying R.A.I.D lol.

I tried to get closer to see what it actually means, but I was still too far ;)

And last night, on the intersection of Springvale Rd and Lower Dandenong Rd, they blocked off all 4 directions with a drug bus on each lol, first time I've seen something like that o.O

Oh and they don't just breathe test you, when I got waved into the drug station, they pulled a kid over on his red P's carrying 3 passengers lol.

was ok tonight - went to pick up my date from ringwood, then went to docklands, and finally crown, before heading down princess hwy - no hassles from the cops or anything.....guess when people drive sensibly, there is no need to worry!

I use to agree with you but after being dicked during a blitz on pricess hwy i no longer do, in that sort of situation and that area it is purely pot luck, if they are bored and have nothing else to do then they will pull you over, if they are flat out with other people doing stupid shit you will fly under the radar.

I have no idea where operation RAID was targeted but it certainly wasnt on dandenong rd from berwick to city nor springvale rd or for that matter over west in kings park, footscray or laverton. Didnt see a single member of the popo. Could it have been too wet for them? But if not anything else scare tactics worked a treat didnt see anybody anywhere...LOL

You get around ;)

Just avoid driving your modified Skylines into CBD areas or hotspots such as Dandenong, Springvale/Noble Park, St. Kilda etc....a few of my friends - including myself have gotten defected of late!

Seen a few RAID stickers on cop cars. Also seen the plod on the corner of Gratton and Elizabeth writting tickets for cyclists and pedestrians breaking the law. They had every side of the road covered and were seeing people on one side of the intersection and pulling them over on the other. A few seatbelts and mobile phones :D. Was good to not be on the receiving end but i'm guessing a lot of people had a bad day.

Charles, I've been through spaghetti junction twice where they've blocked off every direction before. Then people turn in to where Hungry Jacks is and there's cops waiting in there too to get the ones trying to avoid them haha.

Last night on Fitzsimmons Lane just near the apple peel, there was a booze bus and they were stopping everyone, not letting cars through.. just letting it back up so everyone had to get tested.

I was following behind a P plater in a VZ ute and Mercedes and as we got to the apple peel roundabout, they saw the flashing lights ahead. The ute pulled in to the bus stop at the Shell and the Mercedes did a u-turn.

I kept watching the mirrors and undercovers came out of the new carwash there and were on them in seconds.

Couldn't stop laughing haha.

There were plenty of cars already parked at the booze bus, shows how many stupid people there are around my area :D

As I was waiting to go after being tested, the car at the front of the queue was being questioned so I asked the cop how long they'd been set up there for since there were so many cars already caught. She told me 8pm so 6 hours already and they were going to be there until 4am.. long night standing there!

Does anyone know how these "new" speed detectors pinpoint which car is actually speeding when the cop is driving too?

If it's being used in a busy area like Knox and there's a bunch of cars driving, how can they be sure which one the radar picked up?

I got pulled over yesterday.. at 11.45am for a breath test, its so early in the morning, who's going to have alcohol in their blood?

And it was just down the road from where i live, now, who are they planning to catch if they're parked at such a secluded spot?

Not to do with breath testing, but thought i'd let you know there is an unmarked white ss patrolling all the 40 zones around oakleigh east, chadstone etc, as i've seen him both friday on my way to work and this morning on my way to work. I think this is good because ppl dont slow down enough for these zones. But as for the weekend and princess hwy as i live on the damn road... nothing! it was fairly quiet.

there is also a white unmarked SS with bullbar and clear lights on the roof.

sits outside the Video Ezy on Princess hwy, across the road from Noble Park McDonalds, friday-saturday nights

looks like a secruity car though, but its a cop

Alcoholics! You might be surprised how many people down drinks in the morning, and these are the same types who wouldn't knock back driving around after having more than a few. Maybe not in your specific location but they are definitely around.

Meh, marked cars would be much better as a preventative measure of speeding in these areas. I don't agree with unmarked cars at all...they tend to support the "cure is better than prevention" ideology.

but i gets the dickheads off the roads, cars impounded, license suspended, wallets damaged.

if they can't see a marked cop, they think its clear, then they act like a dickhead and get done.

where as if they see a marked cop, they'll hold out till the next area. this way gets them off the roads faster cause they get caught in the act

Yeah that's a good point TJ...they do catch out the sly morons. Still...with the number of unmarked cars out there, if they were all marked then perhaps these idiots might not be able to wait for the next street cause there are too many cop cars around. Plus an unmarked car can only really stop one dickhead at a time - when there's a marked cop car around, there's a very noticeable change to the flow of traffic around the car.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
