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.

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
