Cops are in full force this week, and over the long weekend.

All the Traffic Management Units are rostered for patrol so just be cautious.

Not that it's anything to people who drive responsibly, but if you have a moded up car, be fore warned about being "randomly" pulled over for defect checks.

Reminder that exhausts must be below 90dB (which is stupid because my car does 94dB from factory, either way I've lost).

Still kind of a pointless political push operation as people are still dying on the roads, just an excuse for a revenue raiser.

ANYWAY, you have been given the heads up.

Isn't there industrial action at the moment???... :thanks::stupid::pwned::google::spam::ban: ...I think they won't be doing anything to raise money for the government until they get their pay raise...

But on that note... ...I don't know any cop that would put industrial action before public safety...

actually they have been parking near speed cameras' this week to stop people getting caught and as the government lies to tell us " they are ONlY there for our safety... NOTHING to do with revenue raising"

;)

ive noticed heaps of cops on the road the past week or two. I got defected last week but now I'm armed with a valid rwc... invincible!

Either way the skyline will probably stay at home for a while since there is no shortage of cars at my house and no point risking getting picked on by the man.

No shiiiit...so that's why there was a cop car parked on the median strip at the Bayswater Rd and Canterbury Rd intersection. There's a permanent "safety" camera there and he had his lights on but no one pulled over...confused the hell out of me.

Drove past a un marked cop this morning, saw him starring at me, certainly got the heart rate going :teehee: .

Seriously at this rate I'm looking at getting my muffler changed, even though its not that loud I'm sick of driving around been paranoid.

When will they realise that owning an import isnt going to kill people on our roads lol, I mean they spend all this time defecting people so they can look good in the public eye but then they cant do there real job of stopping theft or other serious stuff. There has been so many threads on stolen cars yet nothing really gets done about it.

I wonder why we even have Police sometimes, they should just change there name to victoria TMU and be done with it.

It's unfortunate that the perils of driving a modified car draws the attention of defect/epa hungry cops. Even if you're driving along enjoying a nice casual cruise under the speed limit, there's a chance you will be "randomly" pulled over. Sigh.... sucks but that's how it is.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
