Hey all,

Just wanted to document something out of the ordinary that happened yesterday just before closing up at work.

I had pulled my car out of the workshop and parked it in one of our bays so I could start bringing in other vehicles and wrapping up.
About 30mins-45mins later a police twin cab D-MAX pulled up out the front of my workshop - single female driver. She was in the car for a bit but I noticed her looking around and then get out and open up the back tray of her vehicle. I thought nothing of it... That was until the boys from the shop next to me informed me today that she got out a camera and started photographing my car. She was out the front for no longer than 15-20mins then as we walked outside to leave she did a U-turn and drove away.

To my recollection I have no reason to be of interest to police especially seeing as my car has just come out of the workshop after 7-8months in the build and I have a clean drivers record. It was driven twice that day, once to the autoelectricians then once back - no cops in sight, following me or pulling me over.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or something similar? It's playing on my mind as with the new hooning laws, I'm wondering if they're documenting imports and adding them to a database on their systems.

I would like to agree with you, but since the polys and ACA have made it their primary concern (over drug deals and criminals) that they should lock up all hoons and get imports off our roads, its a v

Only thing I can think off is that she may send you an EPA letter in the mail (not sure what that is called in QLD) road worthy?

They take pictures for evidence then send you a letter in the mail.

Doubt they could possibly do anything else !

Maybe she just liked it or has a child that likes it??? Hopefully they aren't going so low as to make a database.

They already have a database of imports guys...you all have registration. My bet would be Anfwrx said, probably going to get a nice letter in the mail.

I'm going to say she took photos because she liked it. They don't necessarily have an agenda against us and we don't have EPA here. We aren't at the point that they're coming after us parked at work or shops.

We had 7-9 skylines parked outside fulcrum, half a block down the road from the cop shop and they had no issues.

They already have a database. When we rego our cars we have to say why make and model it is.

tinfoil hat! :merli:

Wonder how the skyline would look wrapped in al-foil ;)

That's what we thought may happen, apparently it use to happen years ago but probably not as frequently now because they can just defect you on the spot much easier

I got pulled over by the 'Fatal Five' in the back of moss st one afternoon and one of the cops was very interested in finding out information about my car. Then he proceeded to pull out a 1.5" (wouldn't be exaggerating) book that he had been compiling and he should be all the information he's collected on imports...

Had someone check into it though and there's nothing logged in a database etc... so unless it hasn't come through yet, all is good ;)

Cops do odd things, its in their natur., I've had them do illegal u bolts and speed to catch up with me just to breathalys and licence check me :rant:

I doubt it's a part of an elaborate hoon scheme but then again I could be wrong and they're all secretly scouting all our cars, and checking out everyone's shed one by one.... Because Dom you know they can't lose again

I passed a Transport Inspection Station that was sneakily hidden on a back road a few months back, they were busy with a few other cars but as I drove past I caught the guys eye and he eyeballed the back of my car and took his notebook out, obviously writing my rego down, luckily enough, nothing came of it..

dam hoons doing donuts in the local streets are putting the responsible drivers under increased watch and investigations.

Far as I'm concerned if no defect was given on the spot how can there be a defect. What society needs is a uproar from us the people against the government and the police and make it clear we are gonna roll over and take their shat anymore.

Some people just want to see the world burn.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
