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!

    • 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.
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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.
