Well then every cop I have been pulled over is a c*nt.. I always try to be nice but not sucking up their ass nice..

And they just be the biggest wanker about it..

Got pulled over last weekend driving my mum to her mates in a RAV4 along a road that I KNOW cops sit at (60ks) I was going 55 got pulled over..

Cop said I was speeding and as soon as I opened my mouth he was yelling at me trying to get me to say I was speeding, just remember they record the conversation..

He finally let me drive off after searching ME and breathalyser and I literally said hardly anything the whole time

Looks like they have you in their black book, or they just hate you. Bad neighbourhood?

Remember they record your conversation, so ask them to prove you were speeding. Ask them to state their badge number etc. so it's all in the recording.

I wonder if you can record the encounter (legally speaking).

I wouldn't say "bad neighbourhood" Miami, Gold Coast?? Haha

And I really don't think I've been black listed. (No criminal record)

Unless they got me from when I first got my P's going 100ks to 60ks coming off M1.. Lost my liscence for a yr and learnt my lesson. Really hope I was black listed for that :(

Depends on the person wearing the badge I reckon. Perhaps he has pulled you over, or seen you do stuff, or maybe he mistaken you for someone else, or doesn't like your ethnicity, whatever the reason being.

You can.

You just have to inform them politely.

I was thinking that, but what if they can arrest you for recording them? Lol. Privacy laws or something?

Officer: You're being recorded

Me: So are you *points to in-car camera*

I went through a RBT, licence check and "random" vehicle inspection station. When I pulled up I had my phone on record the whole time.

All went to plan until my mate started ringing me. I restarted the recording and then the officer caught onto it.

He told me that he was recording the conversation if I wanted to use it in court later on. I told him that's fine mate and I continued recording without trouble.

(I was holding the phone in my hand normally, being discrete with it but participating in the conversation)

I gave it a little hit around a corner, lost traction, and didn't notice the cop stopped on the side of the road. He waved me down and gave me a lecture, checked my records, checked over the car, told me to stop being an idiot and let me off.

Greatest. Cop. Ever.

I was very co-operative and apologetic though, your attitude towards cops goes a long way.

That's exactly right. I'm a firm believer in "Treat people how you expect to be treated".

really depends on the officer, 3 weeks after I brought my 32 ( back in 2002) I was pulled over down the road from my house doing a U turn and after 45mins the officer says "nice car but I better get back to work", really nice guy,

the next night a police car goes past me in the other direction, he pulls over and does a U turn, I figure he's coming for me so I pull over to wait for him, he pulls in in front of me and then I get in to a heated discussion about how legal the factory head lights on the car are with him, complete cock

5 years later, I passed a police car leaving my area, 1km up the road sitting on the speed limit I see a car catching me at a massive rate, it pulls up behind me turn the blue and red lights on pulls me over, the first thing he says to me is " pretty funky tyres you have on the car, what did they cost you " I reply " $550 per tyre" he says " so you've got some money then " and precedes to defect me for the factory ride height, after kicking the lower lip on the front bar telling me its to low, tyres ( RE55s ) he says I'm not allowed semis even after I show him the DOT rating making them street legal, and pod filters, which he says are a fire risk from fuel fumes

I am always nice and polite to officers till they start pulling out BS and I know they are going to give me a defect any way

I hope someone with legal background can chime in and confirm, but can you ask the officer to state their badge number, base station etc. when they pull you over? What about refusing to co-operate if they don't provide their ID?

I don't understand why the police have the power to defect you when it's clear some of them don't know what they are defecting you for (e.g. standard ride height). At least use the 100mm block to check height or dB meter to check exhaust volume.

I know 100% you are within your legal rights to record when a cops pulls you over. Also if a cop refuses to show his badge you can pretty much tell them to f**k off and leave lol. As for getting pulled over it's all about attitude and the way you drive. Also the time of day. If you are out past midnight cops are going to be tired of catching idiots out on the road, they are tired and want to go home. They will have a shorter fuse, so be polite and hope for a good one.

The sad thing is 99% of cars in Australia can be defected for some reason or another. If a cop is defecting you for ride height or noise chances are you can be defected for something else. How many of us are running in cabin boost controllers? At the end of the day if you get defected for stupid reasons keep your mouth shut and hope that they don't go into more depth and find other things.

And considering technically coilover suspension requires an engineers cert. Consider a standard defect lucky lol.

They can defect you for whatever they want. I read a mag entry that said that they got defected for factory STi aluminium pedals. There should be a system where if you clear defects without touching the car, the police department should compensate you :D.

Sydney Compliance Centre guys would love that Ravi.

A copper pulled over the CEO and wanted to defect him in 3 ways.

The CEO said, "You realise don't you that as soon as I go around the corner, I can clear these?"

Copper: "No you can't"

CEO: "Yes I can - and I will"...

What about QLD (Brisbane & Gold Coast) if I got defected and wanted to get an engineering cert. for them, what would the best way to go about this?

No need to give me numbers/names, I am just curios.

Also a compliance centre, do we have the pits or cams here? (Unsure what it is called)

To take my car if I needed to get things cleared.

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
