man i thought i was getting away from all the dodgy cops in NZ but im moving to the same sort of crap i guess, some cops are okay (i said some not alot!!) but some are just out for revenue like here its all about how much can they ping on you, example - my ute is to low, to loud, and a boy racer car..... so heres a $600 fine, (my ute had a bolt 5 mm below the 100m legal limit) hack saw job to make it shorter, my sounds are to loud to be turned up in any enviroment unless a special DB drag event... gay cop... and a boy racer....its a friggin ford courier with a 2.0l carby engine... not a friggin v8 supercharged jesus!!

oh and all you in aussie in my town we had one of the worst "boy racer" problems in the country (we had a one way dead end road as a drag strip out of the way from everyone so no one innocent could get hurt) so ya know what they did, ban any vehicle under 2.5 tonne from driving down over 100 public streets/roads and have a law they can pull you over if your cruising with more then 3 or 4 cars in a line for a boy racer act (cant remember what is exactly called) and would tresspass you if your caught down any of the roads with out a legitimate reason and proof

An officer who was illegally tailgating given they are meant to be upholding the law :)

I don't know if it applies to this but I know for sure that cops can break speeding laws to a certain extend while on duty, and breaking their own rules on top of that is usually swept under the rug. I saw a bike coppers top speed on his bike at 217kmph. It might be the same for this kind of stuff. Is there no justice >.<

Yeah slam on the brakes, love tap at 100km/h sounds like a smart idea. Come on people, would you really do that? I would hope not. No one "forces you to speed", you're in control of your vehicle no matter how close someone is tailgating you. Yeah the Commodore is at fault...so put on your brakes *gently* and this will force him to either pass you or slow down to a stop with you. Atleast then if he hits you it won't be a significant impact (read: risk your life over some tool). I too don't put this sort of thing past some police as I too have been tailgated and followed waiting for me to f*** up...but if it was a cop trying to trap you into a fine then why wouldn't he just pull you over once you get to xxx speed and defect you, instead of tricking you into a camera fine at the risk of his superiors finding out about it with pictures of his own car.

Had this happen to me but not as bad about 10 years ago when I just go my licence and it happened all the time to a mate who had a datsun 1600.

Undercover commodores around moorabbin would tailgate a few metres behind you flashing their high beams at night for a few hundred metres and then put on their cop lights and pull you over.

They booked my mate the first time when he sped up. Bit of a cnt act if you didn't know their routine.

So it does happen!

the law against "inciting a drag race" seems to apply here

When there is a nasty big hole in two vehicles that might make a difference :)

Well honestly i agree slowing down would be a better option, but i suppose when your quite tired and just want to go home, doing 100km trying to keep awake then suddenly loud noises + high beams kinda gives you a bit of a shock. I've had my share of fun experiences with friends doing it but a big bulky random commodore who literally came from nowhere did kinda freak me out. Especially with the amount of idiots who constantly die every week, i just wanted to get away from him and make it to my exit which wasn't too far from me =[

Fair enough, but its all part of the trap :down:

Ignore them or switch lanes, never give in to them.

Back when my Calibra was on road it had red rear foglights that could be turned on with a switch...they were good for giving tailgaters the impression you were braking when you weren't :)

yeah its true police will drive around with p plates up and attempt to trap you

funny how entrapment isnt illegal for the roads.. especially when cars can be considered as 'weapons'

you dont see them get in shit for trying to race you.. two sets of rules for us and the police.

also i believe the entrapment law in australia was changed not so long ago.. free country? you decide.

what? what was changed?

to people saying this doens't happen.... wake up...

not too long ago i had a brand new VE SS sitting next to me @ the lights on napean hwy, bout 2am... he was revving the shit out of it trying to get me to go

aparently he didn't think i'd notice his "hidden" lights and UNIFORM ffs

MORAL: make your car much faster than a VE SS so you have nothing to prove by racing him

also i believe the entrapment law in australia was changed not so long ago.. free country? you decide.

pretty sure there is no entrapment law in Aus... stop watching law and order buddy lol. ps. entrapment is a good movie, i suggest you watch it

there is entrapment law in australia.. I dont understand why people believe there isnt..

a simple google search will prove that..

if their was no law on entrapment it could be used in many MANY ways and the law couldnt do ANYTHING about it..

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
