Officer Pettiet - knox TMU - TOTAL WANKER


Recommended Posts

This guy is a total f*cking wanker. He defects my car and doesn't even give me a week to drive it, i got defected at about 8:45 and he puts on the canary that the car cannot be used after 8:30pm that night so i was supposed to get it towed home....... If u ever get pulled over by this fagget dont expect anything less than a total f*ck up the arse. The worst thing is he drives a silver/grey undercover XR8 so u cant even see this ugly mug coming. Most cops are ok when they give u a canary, i mean they defect you and all but at least they give u a week to drive the car around and get it fixed, and more importantly just to get the car home, This cop goes out of his way to be a dicksnap.

I live in Knox and go there every week. I have been pulled over a couple of times but most of the Police have been good.

I would make a formal complaint as there seems to be a lot of issues with this particular police officer.

He is just a total f*ckwit....he pulls u over for no reason then defects the crap out of you. I think its unfair to have to get the car towed home, I always thought there was a minimum of a week that they had to give you unless there was something intrinsically wrong with the car that made it unsafe - there was nothing wrong with my car that made it unsafe, sure its a bit low, blow off valve, boost controller but nothing that would be of any harm to myself or other road users. I've owned the car for just under a year and its never been 'unsafe' as Officer Dicksnap said. I'm happy to make a complaint against this turd and if anyone else wants to aswell then send me a PM.

Chief: You busted up that cruise pretty bad, Pettete. Did you really have to issue so many canaries?

Pettete: You tell me, Chief. You had a pretty good view from behind your desk.

Homer: Ah, Pettete: eases the pain.

Chief: You're off the case, Pettete!

Pettete: You're off *your* case, Chief!

Chief: What does that mean exactly?

Homer: [yelling] It means he gets results, you stupid chief!

you guys should put in a formal complaint or do something about it.. rather than just whinge.

plant drugs on him or something and get him fired.. easily done :rofl:

pretty much every victorian out eastside has run across of him, and you hear his name across lots of different forums whenever vic is mentioned..

Just make a complaint to the ombudsman (spelling)

if they receive enoughh written complaints they are compelled to act.

I'll be doing that in the near future with a few "initiatives" ill be taking to combat the frequent victimisation. If i have success (which im sure i will) ill try get everyone modified car owner in Vic doing it.

Then we'll see who gets hassled.

Just watch what you say on public forums. Its happened on ns.com where they have read victorian forums then gone and found out who people are and defected them (white_s13) at their work. So please make a formal complaint and try to sort out this issue that way, public forums just attract too much attention. sorry to be downer japcab, i know what your talking about, 2 of my friends have been reamed and not allowed to drive the car home, for a bleed valve!

:( I love it!

Yeah sounds to me like this officer may have some issues. I'm from Knox and havn't had a worry.....yet, so fingers crossed. I do agree that IF he is really just playing it hard and being unfair then somthing needs to be done.

Yeah thats VERY true. It's a fantastic idea to carry one and pull it out when they are talking to you, it's within your rights and you'll notice how their attitude changes pretty quickly. It's a nice effective trick but of course if your in the wrong in the first place then there isn't much you can do!

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
