Was coming home about 12am last night.. and in the outgoing lanes of the M1 at about Robina area, I see one cop car on the side of the road with a couple of cops standing there outside the car. Thought that was a little strange, then 200m away *another* cop car with couple of cops standing there, which was getting even more odd.

THEN bit further on, I see about 6 cop cars with lights all on surrounding what to be what appeared to be an old 4WD..

Couldn't get a proper look, as I was driving inbound, but it was strange. Then a bit further on I saw about *another* 3 cop cars with lights on also heading that way.

So in the space of about 5 mins I saw about 10 cop cars!

It was truly something that appeared to be out of Canonball run!!

Anybody know what was happening??

:ufo:

NFI... But up my way, at about 12am, there was someobdy cutting sick in a V8 of some description... Can you "cut sick" in a 4WD?

More than likely someone with an outstanding warrant, who got pulled, and did a runner... The cops usually set up a cordon to the N, S, E &W...

I was on the way home from seeing kevin bloody wilson :) what fu#$ing ledgend!! when i saw 4 cop cars "chasing" an old blue van with 2 more cops on the way up the road and a pursuit car further up the road in Nerang

If its anything interesting it will be on the news tonight

strutto: yeah, it was a blue van! That's the one.

It was on the news actually and they had some footage. Apparently some drunk old guy was involved in a hit and run somewhere (I think the coomera thing was a different thing), and he was making a run for it. He was something like 3 times over the alchohol limit or something.

They used spikes to blow out the tyres. That must'a been what the other cops up front were doing at the side of the road. And the 3 cop cars further back must have been holding up all the traffic to stop them catching up to this guy. All makes sense now.

Wow - I got to see news in the making :) how exciting :D

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
