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.

Got my 33 gtst the moment I went on my opens been 18mths now and been pulled over 3 times all random breath checks are crazy hours of the morning like 1/2am etc. Sometimes just comes down ti how you drive it and also prior owners records that go with that plate.

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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
