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.

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...

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 :)

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

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
