Warning For Drivers At Knox City Shopping Centre


Recommended Posts

sorry guys forgot to post this the other day. i see they have hired lollypop men and woman for all the crossings in the center, and for mini chapel as well. i was advised that these people are also reporting loud exhausts to the police or EPA and several notices have been sent out to drivers already.

another thing which most people probably already know is that when approaching mini chaps from the hungry jacks entrance there is a loading bay on your left hand side (opposite switch) and during this season has always had an undercover cop sitting there waiting. ive seen this cop every time ive been to knox but ive been lucky for him not to follow me.

shop wisely people and id recommend not taking your skylines to knox for the mean time

also a few of my mates have been done for this. if you enter "mini chaps" lol and your on the right lane you have to turn right at the first round about. dont go over and turn right near dicksmiths. 4 of my mates got done for not following the sign.

so ye be careful as they were dont by the same cop wanzi is talking about

people should know by now stay away from knox....

yeh well i live less than 1min away from knox so its just convenient for me to go there. i shit myself every time i drive in there tho lol

its not knox itself, its that all these idiots hang out in knox carpark and at krispy kreme's etc...

you dont HAVE to drive past pettit's "office" every time you go through knox, there are back ways you can travel

as far as i am concerened, if you do a krispy kreme carpark meet then you deserve to get dicked, as you KNOW the risks and still do it

I go to knox about 3 times a week and never get any trouble. Oh wait, I drive a stock NA MR2 :) Nevermind. Pretty sure I'd get pwned if I took my ghetto TT down there.

It's not just the shopping centre, if you live anywhere in Knox your bound to eventually get done by pettit.

His only duty is to defect cars, he has no other actual training or knowledge about being a police officer.

That cops sounds familer.

When i was at tafe my trade teacher told us of a story (was at the time currently in a court case) were he had being harrased by the one cop. u-turns in trafic told to show up to the cop shop when the cop couldn't touch. in the end the cop tryed to pic for have turbo item in a n/a car (my my teacher had a part to play with the vic road laws so he new them). so after takeing him to court and winning the cop is now not alowed to even pull him over.

point in case If you feel there is one cop targeting you or (your type of car) complain.

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
