Since last night I have seen quite a large number of undercover Traffic Cops, marked units etc.

Radar guns are out in force from what I have seen.

Not sure if they are after defects also.

For example, I saw two cars (one unmarked, one marked) within two streets of each other in Lakeside Pakenham.

Drive safely out there :thumbsup:

Arrived on my usual spot on princes hwy on fri to find it was nice n busy. 5 mins later after some bikes did burnouts I saw bout 5 people get pulled over and the cops blocked both driveways of the servo I was at. All plates recorded. Lucky for me I chose not to drive that nite. Stopped by again on sat n absolutly noone around lol I think they got the point

We have more staff on as holidays over so we are running traffic cars most days. I would say that most stations in same position so more out and about. We are running plate recognition days in next few weeks also which will be interesting.

I am almost becoming a professional drink driver processer as almost eveyone I pull over lately is pissed. Have had 4 repeat offenders all more than 3 times limit in last month. One also disqualified and driving unregistered car and almost ran us off road 3 times in police car. In his mind he did nothing wrong and told me off as I verbalised my disgust for him in no uncertain terms.

Thats pretty f**king bad. One of my dads mates was like that, even went to jail for 3 months after being done for multiple (more than 15) drink driving offences. He still drink drives to this day and actually encourages others to do the same. Retards... so many of them.

1. Why not be proactive and roster more staff into the CBD at night (IE thursday, friday, saturday, sunday nights) That is four shifts that can be spent for the betterment of society. Or is it a case of jurisdiction, paperwork and easier prey?

I am in no way condoning drink driving and speeding around school zones, but from the presence I have seen 2 streets from my house the word I have is "overkill" and that is an understatement.

2. Sounds like the car is not coming out of my garage unless its on the trailer. :blush:

Plate recognition is the computer software and camera that automatically checks every registration that passes and then runs checks on the owner. So it shows up all unregistered, unlicensed, suspended/disqualified, warrants and whereabouts. I have heard that sometimes having 10 members just to hand out fines and deal with other things that arise isn't enough.

In relation to having more members in city fri/sat nights we still run safe streets which adds 50-100 extra police in city and we have started new area ORU that will have a couple of hundred members tasked for these high crime area's. Then again that's not extra members in force, its stations losing members to go there.

The sherrifs use plate recognition the the states n they seem to work quite well. Once a plate comes up with a default the computer screams out pull over so the officer then gets out n issues the fine/notice/etc. Considering I've met people with thousands of dollars owing in fines I think it's only fair they get caught.

As for what Graeme said bout cops in the CBC, the past few weekends I've walked around n there has literally been a cop on every corner. Never felt more safe in the city

not having a crack @ the resident po po here.. but it certainly pays better handing out traffic infringements/defects left right and centre and so much easier

I'm in agreement with you on putting more on duty in the city at night, but the amount of dangerous driving I see around my area more cops would be a blessing. The more visible they are hopefully the less people will drive like wankers.

So if my car get's snapped and they see my past mistakes (IE. I have done my time) I will be pulled over 110%, correct me if I am wrong here?

That new trailer is sounding better every day :banana:

They were trialing these cameras in my area late last year. From what I understand they target people with outstanding warrants, no registration, owner of a car has a cancelled license etc. They're not aimed at catching people with previous convictions/problems, just current ones. I could be wrong on that though.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
