Its just the lesser of 2 evils. Option 1 cops chase, moron runs, very dangerous situation created. Option 2 cops don't chase, moron doesn't run but probably gets caught later on.
I can't see where anybody has said that.

Ummm?

last i heard the council banned them as they were loosing revinue.................

No wonder some people attempt to create soverign states

Isn't there a guy in WA who made one? Top effort on his behalf, I think it was made yearrrrrs ago though. And I just thought the meter maids were tacky, tbh. Yeah, gangas in bikinis. Whoo. Some people seemed to like them though :(

Ummm?

Yes I still can't see where it has been said.

Try and read my posts completely while setting aside your predetermined opinions for a moment. If you still don't see my logic then point out where and how I'm wrong. Try and use some facts or realistic assumptions though, ridiculous claims like 1000 drug busts a day needing 500 choppers is just plain stupid.

Saying this argument is getting stupid because someone has an opinion different to your own is a bit narrow minded.

Who is being narrow minded here. have you read your own posts, apart from rambling a lot, you keep beating the same drum, over and over, so now I have a head ache, and I'm rage quitting from this thread.

Perhaps 500 choppers was a bit of an overstatement, lets say for instance you have the best pilots working around the clock you could get it down to 100 for the whole force, for those 1000 drug dealers. And if Matt's figure of a chopper costing $3000 a minute to keep in the air thats still $18,000,000 an hour, thats $432,000,000 a day. Even if you dumb down the numbers required even further for each bust your still looking at something that is still logistically impossible.

I completely agree with Prue. Its not the cops fault if the criminals decide to run and then crash into a car with a child in the back and end up up killing them. People need to realise that the police chase criminals for a reason to stop them from hurting more people before they can be put in jail and will no longer be a threat to society.

Sorry, I was slightly out on my figure, it is roughly per hour... Costs:

$3,850 per hour flying time (Add an extra $183 per hour for servicing from below!)

$3,500 for a flight helmet

$384, 000 for a set of four main rotor blades

$5,000 for a 50-hour service and up to $25,000 for a 300-hour service

$250,000 for a main transmission

For a start 1000 drug busts a day is ridiculous. You wouldn't need a chopper for every drug bust either, obviously.

No where do I dispute this.

Its not my fault if you either can't read or are too narrow minded to try.

Oh I don't think you could make the numbers any dumber if you tried.

Holy shit helicopters are expensive. When I become a bajillionaire remind me not to buy one.

I was speaking hypothetically with 1000 a day, going roughly on figures based on population vs drug arrests there are roughly 328 per day on average Australia wide, so thats still at least 50 a day in a city like Melbourne or Sydney. Obviously there is going to be days where there are more arrests some days where there are none. That is still a massive number of arrests and a large number of police having to be used to apprehend said criminals, if like you suggest they want to make police chases safer that is still a massive increase in the polices resources and obviously their budget. What resources do you think would be required to make your plan work and how much would they cost? Where would the money come from?

You state that the Cops chasing a criminal is a greater evil than letting a criminal getting away and possibly never getting caught, okay thats your opinion but how can you reconcile the possibity of that criminal getting away then going on to reoffend? which considering the statistics for criminals reoffending the chances are quite high.

Everything we do in our society is done at the back end. If measures were put into place at the front end maybe some of the problems wouldn't exist.

And this costs the country a fortune.

I think these three sentences are the most valid in this WHOLE thread. The way this country is run is in a reactive manner instead of a proactive manner - in other words, we let the problems happen and escalate instead of preventing them from happening in the first place. Our "driver education system" (if you could call it that) is a prime example, but unfortunately it's not the only one.

Anyway, this thread is getting too feisty, and there are too many posts that come way too close to personal attacks. It started out as a discussion, but it's becoming an argument.

Thread locked. Please DO NOT open another thread in a similar vein.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
