Howdy Folks,

just a little note of caution for all those out there. Something that probably isnt news but worth thinking about and that I and others believe has been going on for a while.

I am member of another forum and we regularly organise cruises as social events and to attend motorsport days, as most of the forum guy/gals are genuine enthusiasts (Most are 35 years and plus). Last week we had a cruise down in the Southern highlands and guess who showed up. MR PLOD with his own envoy! After chatting to the Officers who were very polite and chilled I must say, we were informed that they had been ordered by "Higher up at HQ" in the traffic division to monitor our cruises through the forum's, with the 300, Silvia and Skylines forum getting particular mentions. And this sort of fits with events that have been happening on our recent cruises, were our blue friends have been appearing in the middle of NO WHERE, on roads where no cars had been seen traveling either way for 50 minutes(apart from us), and appearing at the exact time as we happened to roll through. Coincidence I think not, and this has not happened just once.

I am all for the Police and them doing they're job, but I didn't think myself and my friends belonged to Al Quaeda (or the likes) and warranted such invasive attention. Most of us are old (speed only occasionally or at the race track) and spend a mint keeping our cars in mint condition. Yes these are public forums, but cant our tax money be better spent looking for serious crimes. This F&(^&^&N RIDICULOUS and I feel I know have to watch what ever I say or type. In England the cops chase terrorists while hear they scurry around playing CIA games for a couple of cars with mods. Get a F(*&*(&N LIFE Law Enforcement guys, PLEASE go chase some terrorists or those mother ****ers who poison our kids with smack and like.

Matt :sadam:

I think its invasive and offensive. It this kind of behaviour that creates public resentment towards the Authorities.

I cant say it suprises me a great deal, our Police force loves to stomp on our civil liberties. Oh thats right, as soon as we step into our own vehicle that we've paid for with blood sweat and tears, and drive out onto the roads that we have also paid for through our tax dollars with blood sweat and tears, our rights and liberties are non existant. This is why they can legally search our cars, they can accuse us of any road related infringement and its "Guilty until proven innocent".

OH Crap I forgot, we have no rights in this country! And apparantly no Privacy anymore either.

And now motoring enthusiasts are not allowed to meet together and share their appreciation for their vehicles without being spied on and followed around like terrorism scum.

It makes me hate our Authorities and resent my Country.

Why is it like this? Wheres the Anarchy? The Brits blow up speed cameras because the public disagrees.. what do the Aussies do? What we do best of course! NOTHING.

SHE WONT BE RIGHT, MATES. :uzi:

Heres a big loving F*CK YOU to the Australian Police Force. Thats right, F*CK You, you motherf*cking C*NTS. I F*CKING hate you and wish you all the best in getting yelled at by pissed off motorists. Get F*CKED.

Damn that felt good!

Mate, we've got more than our fair share of traffic cops to harrass us. They drive around in unmarked silver and tinted Mitsu Evo VIIIs, top of the range unmarked Merc estates, the sporty Skoda Octavias and Vauxhall Vectras that a certain PC Milton sees fit to test drive at 159mph (254kmh) to see it's all ok! The Evo guys have been known to egg people on before pulling them. Nice!

What I find paticularly funny is they come up to you and ask "what you guys doing?" everyime without fail, I just want someone to say just one time "Transporting heroin" and see what sort of response you get

cause really, its a stupid question that doesn't need asking, if they saw you doing something wrong they will fine you or something, but I have never seen anyone admit to doing something wrong yet

Although after being rear ended last week by a drunk driver at sutherland way, The cops down there are TOPS! :) they were polite as and everything, except they took my license to get a statement and details, but then didn't give it back and lost it. so I had to buy another one

I got NO problem at all with police policing the roads, I got no problems with police pulling cars over that they suspect are non roadworthy (even if some of the road worthy rules in vic are stupid), I do have a problem with prejudices and targetting.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
