Cops are definitely out in force lately. Got stalked by a divvy van on saturday night on the way home. Tailed me, checked my details in their car then turned around and sped off. Might be best for anyone with an exceptionally attention drawing vehicle to drive it at a minimum until after xmas/new years. At nights at least anyway.

To cast some lures... and to finally get a bite from something thats not from a farm.

You know in the 4 years I went to Swinburne I never once visited that damn lake. Drove past it every weekday and could see it from the Uni but never stopped past :D

Well, some bloke caught a 45cm trout there, and i missed a fish, so nothing much to shout home about. But its a really nice chill place. Good to visit when stressed or nothing better to do.

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?

Just saw the ad on TV, and it sounds like that device is only when the cop is stationary and can point the sniper-like crosshairs at a single vehicle out of a mass of cars (rather than the usual shotgun approach using the old radar guns, which were unreliable in a mass of cars).

Granted he did make a nice point about me being "not from around here", so he might've treated a local such as yourself with a bit more discretion lol.

You boys ain't from 'round these parts, are ya? :blink: Love it

got defected a week back in Ivanhoe .for car being too low.then the coper poped the bonnet hehe.

1:Boost Control

2:POD

3:FMIC

well the best part was didnt get no fine,not even a road worthy just had to take the pod and the

boost controller out and take it to vicroads,thank god i got coilovers so its gona stay stock till next year i guess

and it looks like a 4 wheel drive now :P my fist fits between the tyre and the guard.

My station is pretty serious about this operation as we have treffic cars running all next week and I am on some operation Road BLock on Next weekend. Must be Booze Buses and more, I surely will be tasked to give out lots of NOU's, EPA and fines because end of the day its a stats game.

dammmmmmmmmm spewing :ninja: , when you get an EPA what do you have to do? put everything back to stock :ninja: ?

Not necessarily stock, but roadworthy condition. For example, the exhaust can be aftermarket as long as it is below the maximum DB.

Whats an NOU?

I know you may not want to tell eveyone but what area do you work in, as in country vic or N E W or S subrbs, i dont mean what station, will understand if you dont want that information known.

NOU is Notice of Unroadworthy better known as Canary. I work in Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne.

Thanks, i live in SE but the skyline is off the road now anyway, wont be back on for over 12 months.

Also how strict are you when you pull over some one driving on an unreg permit, got one at the moment on my daily whilst i get it reg'd but since i do arvo shift a few times i have taken it to get stuff done before work and then driven it to work, problem is i dont finish till around midnight and i know that you are only allowed to drive it between 7am and 7pm.

I got done with an unreg permit.

I had booked in to the mechanics to drop it in during my lunch break at work and arranged my workmate to come with me and take me back to work after I dropped it in.

But in the morning on my way to work I got pulled over and they didn't want to hear a word of my explanation.

Missing work in the morning was not an option because it was a critical period in our schedule.

Had to cop the $567 unregistered vehicle fine on the chin.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
