Alright this just happend not long ago.

I was pulling out of my mums office, she has her own business and i help out when i can. I was leaving the office to go home for lunch. Basically its a house thats been converted to an office. At the front gates u have to park ur car over the walkway and a little bit onto drive way to close the gates behind. I can't park it on the road properly as its busy and heaps of cars park outside and i would seriously have to walk ages to find a proper park and close the gate. As i was closing the gate i noticed a cop car go by really slowly i thought f*ck, here we go. I watched him and i saw him park about 60 metres away. Outside the office theres heaps of parralel parking but theres a corner and traffic lights so the parralel parking stops near the corner. He was parked illegally near the corner/traffic lights as all of the proper car parks had been taken.

So what i did was... I opened up the gates again and backed the car back into the office. I also put a bin in front of the car to hide the plates. I quickly ran back to the front to re-close the gates so that this guy wouldn't have an idea to just come in. As i got there the cop was pulling in to the drive way lol. I closed the gates and this cop dude was looking fury. He sat there staring at me for a bit deciding what to do. (I looked really guilty i reckon coz i was nervous as). The driveway is a shared one, one half goes to our office and the other half goes to this laneway beside the office, which goes to a couple of houses and some flats. I went back inside the office and looked at what he did. he went up the lane and did a 3 point turn near the flats and then left. The fence between the office and the lane way is just like horizontal planks of wood with small gaps in between. So he couldn't really see in but he could make out the car.

I was still sh1tting myself i dunno y, i went for a walk outside looking for him and he'd gone. So i quickly left.

The first time i got pulled over it was the exact same thing, a lady cop did the same and i pulled out onto road and she was waiting for me, i didn't want that to happen again. She didn't defect me but i got epa'd which i passed easily 85dB. Just don't want to go thru that hassle again.

U reckon i did the rite thing or should i have driven out and bent over?

ps sorry for long as$ post.

I think you perhaps drink too much coffee/Red Bull.:rofl: I have never had trouble with the Police in NSW or Vic so its easy for me too say you were being paranoid:)

I would have driven on my merry way, its not like you just robbed a bank. If they had pulledd you over you would have had a clear conscience....you drive a Skyline, not a get away car with dead bodies in the boot...:P

My thinking, if Police think your trying to avoid them, then they start to think you perhaps have something to hide, and worthy of their attention.

My htinking is we shoudlnt fear Police, we should fear judges and the courts. Or am i living with Alice in Wonderland , and its just that i havent been bitten yet:(

Yes but if the cop was actually pulling in to his driveway to go over the car, he wasn't being paranoid now was he?

Pinoi_boy - as unfortunate as it is that you had to go to the trouble to avoid getting a possible defect and be hassled over your car even though you were just minding your own business - I think you did pretty well :rofl: I would have laughed at the cop as you closed the gates hahah

lol yeh i am paranoid i guess. Its just that i got done the same way the first time. i agree with roy like y am i hiding, i've done nothing wrong, i know that and u know that, but that won't stop a cop from defecting me for something that he thinks is not legal.

i would have done the same thing but more blatantly cause they ***ing shit me up the wall when they do shit like that... if u left the gate open theyre within their rights to come onto the premesis... cause it was closed he cant come in unless he asks and u say yes.

he would have pulled u over for sure and probably epad u again cause theyre retards...

U reckon i did the rite thing or should i have driven out and bent over?

LMFAO!!!!:D I dunno if im the only one but thats a killer comment! LOL "driven out and bent over" HAHAHA :D

I think u did well. I woulda done the same thing. 99% of us are innocent but because of the cars we own we have to act as if we are guilty, if yas kno what i mean! My 2cents anyways

Cheers

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
