Victorian Police have launched industrial action, as part of an on-going pay dispute with the State Government.

Officers have imposed administrative bans and flash police car headlights, warning motorists of nearby speed cameras.

The Police Association is pushing for a 4.5 per cent pay rise. They have rejected the Government's 2.5 per cent offer.

Association secretary, Greg Davies, says the action is sure to grab the government's attention.

"Unless they come to the table, come to their senses, these actions will continue indefinitely," he said.

"If they have to run until the next election they will, and by then, we'll be to a point where the lost revenue would have paid for several police enterprise bargaining agreements."

Mr Davies says police officers never like to take industrial action.

"The only reason for it is because Government have decided to make a pay offer to police that is one per cent below the inflation rate," he said.

The acting Police Minister, Robert Clark, says negotiations on an enterprise bargaining agreement with the Police Association are continuing in good faith.

He says the police industrial action will not affect public safety.

"Clearly the Government would prefer that the Police Association not be taking this industrial action, nonetheless it is industrial action that they are committed to take under Commonwealth fair work legislation," he said.

doesnt look like what i saw this morning.

6am and it looks like they're out in full force.

saw an evo pulled over getting checked (6:15am ish)

and a crappydore ute pulled over and checked under the car(6:30ish)

this is a reason i converted my single cell cat to an actual cat last week.

They still have to do their rounds if scheduled. Other times they will be doing the flashing thing. And the schedule is in full force. I'd be more cautious. Even drove the daily in today on a Friday before the long weekend! No chances, had enough of supporting the Vic Police financially. Sif my Tax isn't enough

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...

YAY for not having an import anymore. can drive without fear WOOT WOOT lol

Depends on the import. I drive an import and definitely drive with no fear. My car couldn't pull the frock off a nun.

Cops sitting with radar guns on Harkaway Rd, Berwick tonight. Nice to see they're doing it in an area they changed the speed limit from 80 to 60kph when they repaved the road recently. Good old Vic Pol, really a dangerous stretch of revenue, I mean road, there :)

Pack of assholes the lot of em'

Only met one nice cop, (well 2 if you include his partner) Grant from the forums one night pulled me over haha.

Just to show what I mean, I actually took a screen dump of the old speed limit sign from Google Street View on Harkaway Rd, Berwick to prove it was once a 80kph zone (now signed 60kph until just after Old Coach Rd until recently). How is this stretch of road so unsafe and need to have TWO dedicated police cars sitting there targeting speeding there? Seriously, it's reasons like this why people have no faith in the system and then they get told it's not about revenue raising. What a joke.

I couldn't believe they were sitting there from 5PM until around 8:30PM tonight, such a ridiculous waste of resources.

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.

Saw the exact same thing on Dalton road just as you get off the freeway was in my gts wonder what that's about

Um, TMU are a different division to the 'regular crimes' cops.

Traffic management unit

Are still cops Just like ciu will still pull you over for speeding or a traffic violation the tmu will still respond if there is a crime ie, shooting

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
