I Am helping host and advertise a meet up/event to raise funds for the damage done to the Bob-Jane store. & this one will NOT be some typical 'hoon' cruise event, as members of the police will be heavily bound to be supporting this so the chance of having one hero here is lucky next to none. If anyone is interested in participating or to help show interest/support that not every car/car club enthuiests are not all hoons and will NOT have as such behaviour as friday night please feel free to join the group as an event will be organised

now thats a good idea.

considering they said today 25% of all serious convicted criminals recieved suspended sentences including robbery,rape,assaults etc..

ill be suprised if they even get a good behavior bond for 12 months..

He was refused bail so atleast he is doing some time in a jail cell.

yeh i dont think thats right personally. sure what they did was wrong but your kidding me all these serious offenders bashings,stabbings etc are free to talk the streets this guy smashed a few windows and cant get bail.. courts are a fkn joke. he woulda been better off bashing bob jane

what's to stop the cops rocking up and defecting everyone in sight?

Nothing will stop them, however paranoia really has little place.

For a good, well organised event (where people actually behave), usually you will find the law will not deliberately seek it out.

this is true..

they have been known to defect ppl on the way out winton/calder etc though :ermm:

still i rkn they will be out to settle the score over the next few weeks

as alr33x said, they have known to sit outside race tracks. that's a dog move in my books.

ill stick with being paranoia, it works. car is pretty much stock anyways but less possible interaction with the cops the better IMO.

I've never been defected at any events in over 8 years.

Had Police come through events as well, no issues with ANY car.

Nuff said in my corner.

People are far too worried about such things. A event for a GOOD purpose, static etc i see no issue with.

RE: Calder often you see idiots sideways onto the freeway, people driving home on slicks and similar. So totally understandable there would be a firm presence.

i was leaving Easternats in my Cleanest VL turbo ever, apart from the front cooler hanging 1 inch lower then front bar, and a p-car saw me and did a uturn and was just pulling up behind me when some moron drove down the road with 2 popped tyres, as my sigh of relif was had i left immediately and the p-car at the gate had also already pulled somebody over so i had 2 lots of luck.

after the event i kept a log of the increased police presence in my street almost daily and went past my house slower then the rest. lets just say im glad i had another registered car. i sold the car and never entered easternats again.

entering a car event shouldn't be a open invitation to harrasement

become 20 on p plates again and i think you will see a huge change it police attitude not matter how clean or nice your car is.

I have turned up to numerous event/cruises that have gone through or met up my area and along with the TMU didn't issue any NOU, EPA, fines.

IMO if we attack car enthusiasts doing the right thing as part of a club then it will only turn enthusiasts against us and increase street "hooning" not good for anyone.

There are more than enough idiots on the road doing stupid things to give hard time to if you ask me.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
