was stopped on friday nite in northbridge for no reason. turned down a side street beside Saigon to make a u-turn and go back up towards Rise and was blocked by a police truck which proceeded to flash me and turn on sirens.

a policeman then came down and tried to get me to own up to stuff. he was like, "so have u managed to figure out what u did wrong?" and i was like, "nope..." and in the end u dun have ure P's on and i pointed out my Ps which were in plain view! and then he says my tinting is too dark to which i reply the car was just over the pits (when registering and compliance) and that it passed and then he wants to check my boot to which i say OK but then he decides not to and lets me go.

what was the point?

an undercover also approached me and some friends while we were outside Marble Bar in east perth and took our ID details but we were only waiting for other friends to arrive. and they searched the car. are they allowed to do that?

what was it that they called W.A.???

a police state..... haven't had any probs with the cops in the skyline, but in my last car there were a few probs, just get pulled over all the time, just get your permits for things like pod filters etc etc, and u'll be rite.

BamBam, i think i saw you at tuart hill maccas last thursday, black 'line parked out back, at one stage you were chatting to one of the guys i know "pez", drives the white falcon V8??

Although it sucks, I can sort of understand where they come from - on ounce of prevention etc. If you're not doing anything wrong generally they will sus this out pretty quickly and no real harm done. I 'spose it does help keep the dick heads under control or at least away from popular areas. It is sometimes worth thinking about what it would be like if any fool could roll up to a popular place and carry on like a total f*%khead - wouldn't make for a very pleasant place.

It can still give you the shits though

Bambam when you say they "searched" your car what exactly did they do and where did they look?:eek1:

Ahh in the car ;)

Generally it depends how dodgy u look and how nervous as to how far they will go. Standard is just the under seats, storage comparments and boot. But if they think they are on to something they wont stop until they find it eg. stickin hands in cracks in upholstery and trim searching under car and bonnet and pullin carpet up in boot and floor.

no guys my car is totally stock standard! not even a decent radio! no bodykit:(

WASSABI - just the boot and look inside the car, under seats, glove compartment etc.

R33_Cam - sorry mate wasnt me...;) i know ure probably gonna give me shit coz i dun even know where Tuart Hill is...;)

well they are I think I am just messing with ya!

but correct me if I am wrong

I red some where that it is illegal to leave your car turn on without no one in the car.

that make sense?

Ps. and CAM I was not reffering to your car at all ;) I was just saying... in general heheh ;) ( see you are paranoid now, word "RICEY" comes up you thing it refering to you :lol: )

cheers

Makes sense.

Remember that immobilisers are compulsary in W.A and a immobiliser is effectively useless while the engine is running.

So it makes sense in terms of the current law that they are illegal but ****ed if I actually know.

hahaha nah joe i didnt mean that you were referring to me:p just sayin that for the ultimate in "ricey" look you need neons underneath (as i would know) :lol: :lol: but cops dont usually look underneath, cause they dont wanna get their pants dirty :bahaha:

with my tt it's wired through so that while the engine is still running, the timer obviously counting down, then the car will switch off fully when it hits 0 - I thought everyones is like that??

nonetheless, the alarm comes on after 20 seconds, whether there's someone in there or not, so they won't get far and I'll know where they are if they try to ;)

also in that 20seconds they'll have to work out how to get into my car and if they smash the window then I'll know about that too

they just can't win :uh-huh:

oh, unless they shoot me and take my keys ;)

Mine will run while u are out of the car and the alarm is on and armed. If u try and step on the throttle it will turn off the engine right away but u can run it on idle but its easy to chase at idle.:(

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
