Hi everyone, I just want to share my friend's experience with WA traffic authority on Friday night (22-07-2011).

About 10pm, he was on his way home after having drinks (tea) with me and there was a booze bus. When it was his turn, he got asked to pull into the side way.

Then, the copper started saying things to him like "Your vehicle is of interest to us because of your recent actions on public roads". "WTF"

Then, another copper radioed in to him, saying to have a more thorough check becuase it has a turbo. "WTF again".

My friend got all freaked out, and keep denying he did anything wrong. (He is a resposible driver who drives with upmost care on the roads, as we both are part of car clubs and been on cruises together and he never let loose once.)

In the end, with no proof and evidence, he got let off. Even when he was driving off, he got told to stop doing whatever he was doing on public roads or else get himself into bigger trouble. "WTF AGAIN!!".

I mean, seriously, what's all this about? Sure if they can produce evidences, but they couldn't. They can't even tell which road the so-called offence took place.

I know not all WA traffic authority treat us "car enthusiast = hoon :P " this way. But seriously, they need to stop bluffing to get their way! :rant:

Hey guys.

just an FYI. Police have no right to photograph you unless you refuse. this practise is unjust and a violation of your rights in this state.

do not give all the power to police. this is pathetic.

Yeah I was about to mention a similar thing, they by law have to ask you for permission to photograph you. If you refuse they can't do shit because they have no reason/evidence to arrest you. It's an invasion of privacy and it's discrimination. If I get pulled over I will demand to know the source and reason behind it.

TL;DR version, fuck the po po and the brain dead general public.

all the shit they say is to scare you, if you're a sensible driver then ignore it and know they are just dribbling to scare you, if you're a little bitch then take it to heart and sell your car cause you're scared. Simple as that.

Cops say that just so you get scared and behave if you haven't been. Same shit with the media.

It all comes down to FEAR, if they have nothing on you they just try to scare you into confessing - for example they pull you over and then say: "what was that back there?" or "Why were you doing that back there?" or "I know why your here, to do burnouts" If they think anyone is stupid enough to confess to do anything just because they try to scare you they are wrong, if they have no evidence they should just f**koff

EXACTLY!

Example: Police pulls you over.

Officer: "What was that back there?"

You: *Shit yourself* "Oh officer my car slipped by accident"

Officer: DIDN'T EVEN HAVE EVIDENCE HE JUST ASKED YOU TO SEE WHAT YOU'D SAY..."Hand them keys over kid"

Police will say ANYTHING to try to get anything out of you. IF you're a Sensible driver? Acknowledge he is talking shit and just laugh it off knowing he was trying to catch you out but he couldn't.

Get scared by it? Sell you're car and buy an Excel.

Seriously, If you buy a Import, get ready to put up with hassles from the police and know what you're in for because of the whole media bragging out the word "HOON".

Yup, totally agree.

I don't think it even matter with us import/performance/jap car owner going or not going to event like Rising Suday and will still get pulled over. :devil:

the biggest problem we have is the police commisioner he cant even keep his own kid under control how can this guy be in charge of the whole police department his son was injured in a drug lab explosion, this targeting of modified vehicles is rubbish not just imports its across the board, the police are given the most basic training on how to inspect a vehicle and instantly they are mechanics, I might as well put a blue cap on and a badge and say im a cop but you can get charged for that maybe the should charge cops for impersonating mechanics? If I had the power I bet I could issue at least have the police fleet with defect notices, I worked In fleet for a dealership in know what gets fixed and what doesnt at the moment each car club is a minority but if we can get all performance car people to band as one and make a statement we might be able to get something done, I just dont know how we can do it maybe a massive cruise up to parliement house or something and prove that most people are genuine car people and not just idiots

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
