the Police need to get out there and catch the REAL criminals... pulling over 11 people for driving Nissan skylines... Come off it...

Big joke if you ask me

What actually do real work. No money in that for them.

When I lived in Montrose we got burgled 8 time over 20 years. Guess how many times anything was recovered?

Damn. I'll probably get defected again now for saying that. Better go and make sure there is no dust on my indicator light globes.

did you really get done for having dirty indicators? :laugh:

Nup, but I'm sure that would be defectable, so I'm not taking any chances. I got defected for having my tires within 1mm of the tread wear indicator ie "almost" bald tires.

I can't really add any positive's in relation to this. It's been a bad couple of weeks for Vic pol that's for sure. I have never targeted car clubs on organized cruises where everyone is behaving as that should be encouraged in my opinion.

It's things like this that turn car enthusiasts anti police and will only encourage more illegal "hoon" style behavior which is on the increase IMO. I worked a special traffic operation a month ago where 15 cars were impounded in space of 5 hours in eastern suburbs alone.

It's getting to the stage on some days there are more TMU units on in area than general duties patrol units. Little wonder that crime is on increase and there are more and more cars being pulled over and fined/nou etc.

Would have to agree to the above, When i visted last time in melbourn just before christmas, (early nov) i noticed a lot more HWY patrol cars then last time i was in the same area, plus thier was a lot more aticals in the paper about hooning.

Maby members of clubs and the police (those that respect and understand car enthusiastes) start puting presser on the goverment to help get more race track's open on a more regula bases.

You do have calder park most friday nights, but who wonts to drive from frankston to calder and back for potently no more then 5 runs if they get thier early enought.

Winton is 2 hours away (agan long drive) and sandown is not open that offten, and look what happend when a meet was cancled (noble park riots)

If somthing like up here in the NT can be established i think it will help all, North australian motor sport club run on avg 1 race meet and 1 motakana a month some times more, the race meets, inc drifitng, lap springt, improved production, commonhore cup, and most meets are $66 for members and motakana #30.

also in the dry season thier is drag racing by hiddenvally drag racing association (which have just upgraded the track to international standed) on a weekly basis.

And cause of this the cop generly leave us alone and deal with the drunks on a weekend in darwin CBD.

When I was a kid and my dad was a TMU cop when they were called TOGies he'd take us to drag races where the local police had their own drag cars... ...There were three of them if I remember correctly... ...And they'd take them to schools and TAFEs and they were both useable cop cars and drag cars... ...This was the mid 80s when I was seven... ...so I could be wrong... :thumbsup:

must be even more frustrating to be on the inside and see its not working... and to open your mouth is probably career suicide... so to keep your job to pay the bills you have to go along... and if you actually want a promotion you have to go against most of the reasons you probably became a cop in the first place... just like any other business really, your not there to help people just to keep your mouth shut, make the stats look good and keep the cash rolling in

Truer words have not been said Nick! You don't get anywhere in the workforce with good morals and standing up for what is right :(

Sure is a nice fantasy though.

well it makes sense, they went out on a SATURDAY night which means they would have went though a defect bus, not to say that police hours and fines/epa's were worth it.

i went for a drive in the hills on a friday night on the 25th last month got to the Warburton Highway and got defected and EPA'd by G.RUST, somehow i forgot it was a friday night >_<

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
