Sorry but I'm on the side of the police there. If your vision is marked as being bad enough to require glasses, then not wearing them is silly and not safe!

Agree, I have that condition as well, and I refuse to drive unless I'm wearing my glasses/contacts (because I like to see what's going on far ahead of me instead of 2m).

It's a bit harsh mate, but rules are rules.

When you're on your L's, they can't really book you for anything hence why you could get away with a lot of stuff.

Ive been pulled over by a large woman with a shaved head and no bra, at least it didnt look like she was wearing one. There was no way any politeness or honesty was going to get me out of this one, I was lucky I wasn't eaten. Mind you, she was trying to book me for going through an orange light, to which I contested in court and won.

I wonder if the 'stupid cop stuff' thread is still floating around the wasteland. All sorts of fun stuff in there.

got pulled over last friday, cops spotted me from around a bend leaving the school i work at, raced up a back alley that leads to the same main road i was headed too, waited in the street parallel to me to see where i put my blinkers, then pounced (i was aware of all of this at the time and was just waiting for it), got pulled over, guy comes up to the car with his partner on the other side, have a quick look at the front of the car and says "hey mate, sorry we thought you didn't have a number plate at the front but its obviously their" (my numberplate is at the bottom angled (defect btw) ... he done the regular breath test thing and then best of all i didn't have my licence on me he asked if id had any dramas with the popo, i said no, he said he would give me the benefit of the doubt... he asked why i was hanging around outside the school and i told him i worked their and that was that, he left with a friendly smile and a wave...

now i hate to be a ball breaker but during all of this :

my car exaust was going hard out gurgling, car was too low, he sore the frontmount at the front, they herd the bov when i was driving, they checked out the leather interior and my subway handles on the hand rails, they could see all my pilar and dash gauges, shiftlight, safc, boost controller, e-brake drift button, turbotimer, numberplate off angle not to mention i looked like a drug dealer with my shaved head, earings and dolce sunnies on :rofl2:

don't know how some of you guys must be communicating to these guys (and don't get me wrong i know i got a good guy and their are some real power trippers out their) but maybe a attitute change is needed by some people?

Off-topic Joel, but what's your job at the school? You got off pretty well I'll say :rofl2:

Got RBT'ed last Friday night in 2 different locations. Was tested with no questions asked, but they were just staring like hawks as I took off lol

Ha, I'm also a network admin at a highschool down here in Wollongong :P

What school do you work at down here?

High School I used to go to, my mate and I used to be the network admin team! Network went to shit when we left and they had to employ someone... LOL

Does your school ever buy IT stuff locally? I know the school I was at (About 5/6 years ago now) did.

haha, yeah not many schools can survive without someone there constantly and has knowledge of maintaining a network. I work at Albion Park high.

We buy alot of IT stuff through DET contracts and online websites like Megabuy because they have a wider selection and pretty cheap too.

Bought stuff locally a few times in the past but found them to be slow/expensive/limited to specific things we need.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
