We used to own a HJ Premier (308)... When at department of transport at McGregor in QLD I was in DOT getting my learners while my other half ran to the car to go home to get something I had forgotten.

While andrew was walking back to the car, a copper was standing near the car just looking over it. He asked andrew if he was the owner and he said yes. The copper commented that they were a machine in there days and ours was in perfect condition. He loved it.

There are some cops that admire lovely cars and some that are just arseholes... The arseholes are usually the Constables just outta the academy that think they are top shit because the are a cop. The nice ones are usually the older ones that have been in the service for 20 odd years and aren't so hung up about being a cop.. To them its just a job. There are some really nice cops believe it or not (I've worked with many) ... But as i said.. there are a fair share of arseholes too.

You have to remember that they are just doing their job... although going to the extremes of having our cars taking away is a bit over the top...

And that Glen Miller guy is just what the media wanted.... An absolute tosser... He makes people like me sick... It scares me to think that there are actually people like him out there in out society.

I've always wished that there was some way that I could get in on the act at work and have say for people like us that just enjoy our cars and dont mind a good little squirt on the freeways every now and then.

sounds familiar NismoGirl

my cousin used to own an immaculate black ford cortina, cops used to pull him over just to ask if it was for sale or not...

that thing was an animal, ran an unhidden NOS setup that the cops noticed and appreciated...

i think if anyone has a gripe against cops its just the minority that ruin it for everyone else

just like car modifiers, which today tonight has so f*kn kindly demonstrated to us

:uh-huh:

    • bumping this post as im still having dramas, my fuel pick up is sitting on the bottom of the tank, my pump gets a constant 13 volts through a relay, my fuel pressure holds consistently without fluttering or dropping, yet as soon as im near half a tank of fuel my car starts fuel starving and leaning out, it cant be due to g force as it never pulls hard enough before it starts breaking up, any help would be much appreciated 
    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
