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 >_<

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
