So its 4am and im coming back from the gfs house driving sensibly. Once i get in my area i see a police commohore infront so i take it more easier. get to the lights, they decide to take left lane and i take right. Me acting normal inside the car, they full stare into the car and around.

Lights going green, they dont move but let me go first...then i new why..they followed me for about 5 minutes just sitting on my tail waiting for me to do something stupid.

I turned into my street and they followed, only until i pulled into my drive way did they do a uturn and head back to the pig shop.

What the hell is this?

Driving normally and i cop this stalking business. Like they have nothing better to do!!!!

:(

They may have just been concerened for your welfare and thought:

"hey let's follow this guy home to make sure he arrives safely and is not accosted. Those Skylines are great and we'd hate to see anything bad happen. "

If it happens again flag them down when you get home and say thanks for their concern and you appreciate the special service :(

I had a cop follow me home once, too, went so slow past my house at 3am i thought he was gonna do a drive by, yet again, i was driving the speed limit, no super mods.

i dont think i can say what i want to about the NSW police..especially after i got tailgaited around a roundabout and all sorts of other incidences

next time just wave and give them the thumbs up in order to acknowledge that they escorted you safely home in the early hours of the morning.

Once coming home from sydney i had one follow me from kirawee to engadine. I was going 60 in the 70 zone, and 75 in the 90 and 100kmh zones. They were still on my tail the whole way and their headlights were rebounding right off my rear view mirror into my eyes.

HAHA what a crack up, thats what it was exactly, escorting the skyline under police hands

I thought before i got to my drive way they were going to put on there lights on and get me there....and charge me with sensible driving causing harm to no others.

:headspin:

Yea this happened to me, i got on the M4 heading westbound at the start, gave it a squirt and where concord road entry is a pig pulled up behind me, thinks im dump so gave it to the speed limit then jus sat there, was gonna give him a run out of the tolls to the speed limit but he turned off.. chicked shit!

Yeah that sux. Why don't they go pull over a load of bogans in a rusted out dunnydoor? If it became a regular occurance and you have no bad driving record I would be making a complaint of police harassment.

When I lived in chatswood this happened to me a fair bit.. then I moved to crows nest and had them follow me from chatswood to crows nest, the the point where they followed me down the alley way to my garage and then shone a big ass light on me.

I dont like being followed by teh police, they pressure me into doing things I dont normally do. I actually got booked for going through a red becuse a cop was tailing me and I was more worried about him than the red and mistook the pedestrian green for the green arrow..

Now days if they follow me I just pull into a servo or pull over the car. if they asked why I would say my phone rang. :P

For sure, that sounds like the way to go, pull over and see what happens.

in HCR32s case, they honestly may have just been waiting for the report to come back on your plates (checking to see if car is stolen etc). Once they get it through ok, they will generally leave you alone. Unless they are just bored and want to pin you for something...

that's one of the dumbest things you could possibly do.

they'll just get you for reckless driving or excessive acceleration

Ild like to see them get me for reckless driving or excessive acceleration, im driving on a Highway, a highway where the speed should be 90km/h not 70km/h + on top of that isnt it against the law to tailgate someone, because they have the blue uniform they have a right to break these laws, i think not!

Anyways what kills me more is i have young dickheads around my area, in little turbo charged corolla's and stuff like that, they constantly do smoke shows etc, i pull out of my driveway a cop does a u-turn pulls me over for a RBT, RBT my ass u fat ****s! lol now im getting aggresive.. should stop now!

I wonder what they'd do if you went into some quiet non-residential area where there was hardly anyone around, and just did laps and laps of the same block for no apparent reason. Especially if it's in an industrial area or similar, so they can't accuse you of doing happy laps of the coffee strip or whatever. I think that'd be a laugh...

"Excuse me sir, why are you going around the same block over and over?"

"Well, excuse me officer, but if I'm obviously not doing anything wrong, why are you still following me?"

Tosh, can they really book you for "excessive accelleration?" Especially if there's no wheelspin or anything?

That sucks.

Oh well, not likely to happen in my Corolla, unless Thorpie says it's Fully Sick (which might add about 400rwkW, providing me with a strange combination considering it's FWD)

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
