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

hey owens, yea definitely got off easy but i think they understood i wasn't a hoon and i think their reasoning for pulling me over was fairly valid :rofl2:

im a Network Admin at the school :rofl2: just some solid industry placement while i finish off uni :laugh:

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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      Starting again

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
