What happened to free speech? There is no way that prosecution can come from some internet nerd (such as myself) telling random stories.

Just on the persecution comment... that is not entirely true. All forms of publications be it physical or on the internet are legally binding.

Electronic forms of communication such as email, blogs and forum posts all fall into this category. They are just like you putting pen to paper... it is written with your knowledge, and furthermore, it is signed.

Just because it is written under an alias or "screen name" doesn't mean they can't point the finger at you. If enough people know you by your screen name... it's as good as your birth name.

I would think twice before posting anything that's illegal...

Personally i think the guy is a tosser making empty threats against car enthusiasts.his arrogance is really quite unbeleivable. i wanted to be a copper in the UK until i came here and changed my mind. never met such a self important bunch of twats ever. i love it when they moan about their jobs too, if they get messed up doing it then maybe they shouldnt be doing it in the first place.

Words spoken are not as binding as words on "paper"... but if you are willing to give your proposal a try, I'd be very interested in the outcome.

personally i think that cops put a little too much effort into catching hoons etc, fund raising by using speed cameras and the like.

It just seems that they cant do this AND be able to lookout for the poor people who are bashed at train stations, raped, killed, shot etc around the place ?

I think you're forgetting that within the police force there are various divisions that are assigned to do different tasks ie. traffic, major incident etc.

We only hear of the guys "doing over" hoons because I'm sure most of us don't come into contact with the other police departments. So one group is doing their job, another group doing theirs etc. It just so happens that one group's work affects us, and another's does not. Therefore I think the general consensus amongst hoons that the cops are spending all their time targetting them is quite unfound.

I also think that on the whole the cops do a fine job as it is. Yes there are those that are arrogant and a bit pig headed, but perhaps you have to be when there are so many back-chatting little pricks out there.

He's acutaly on the police website - nice to put a face to a name

haha

Ah yes, the famous Mr Fisher, he looks like he certainly eats the pork sword. Brendan, when did you change your name to Chad Fletcher??? :)

True that...

but even still, surely their time could be well spent elsewhere ?

Oh well, i guess they have to do what they have to do.

yeah you are probably right. But nothing proves that it is you that wrote the post or not. No-one is identified on here as name/lastname, and who is to say that someone else didnt post this with my already signed-on logon.

That's what passwords are for... as a user of the system I would think that the law would assume that you have a "duty" to ensure that all submissions are from you if it is from an account.

Furthermore, even though there is no first/last name - they'll have a way. I'm sure hackers don't put their real names down. But again, it is their bragging that gets them in trouble.

I'm no expert on the IT laws, but what I'm saying is based on some knowledge, some common sense and some input from the media.

its either they are or they arent.

no need to try it. I live in the western suburbs of Melb.

It probably happens once every hour

So does this mean that the sau users posting heavily in the 'postwhore' threads could actually make money out of it by becoming a police officer and postwhoring from behind a police computer whilst eating krispy kreme donuts?

Cops make me puke!

The 'n00b' thing under "Holland"s username is due to his post count, same as the new RB20DE thing here.

If he is legit, why would he introduce himself as 'Officer' Holland if his rank is Senior Sergeant?

Why is this the first and apparently only post made by an alleged member of the Police? Government/Public Servants are not allowed to represent themselves without permission. You have Public Relations officers and so on. I don't know, I just find it hard to believe that this is legit.

Three cheers for SAU and the fact that most guys here can spell and put together a proper sentence (sory RICE nufin ment buy it)

Can I go to www.carthievesaustralia.com and find out when my suburb is about to be targetted? :P

Call the number he posted, speak to him & ask if it was really him!!! Someone mong could have been caught for speeding/defected etc by a Officer Holland, and just wants to piss him off by doing this.

i think alot of ppl need to bite the bullet when they get done, fair enuf you fang it around and get cought then you deserve to get done, be it your own stupidity that you wernt lookin out for police or just bad luck that they were in someones driveway on the corner you opened it up, cops have it pritty tough, i been to a few partys in high wycombe were the riot squad shows up and in my own opinion i think the cops are to limited as what they can do... there are soo many little 16 17 18 yrolds out there that have no respect for anything, pickin up bricks bottles anything, chuckin it at the cops, and all there alowed to do is stand there with a sheild and a batten, its crap, these little crack heads runnin bein knobs showin off thinkin its cool, the cops should be able to open fire with rubber bullets, let the k9 dogs go,

i just think its pathetic that some people bag cops out so much, but yet if there cars get stolen or house gets trashed then go running to them like little girls... everyone will need the police one day, and alot of them are polite and show respect so why not do the same, sure you get ya bad ones but take it with a grain of salt

I'm with schmiddy.

Imagine being a cop, standing on the riot line in all your gear, having drunk knobs throwing all sorts of crap at you, and your bosses are telling you to just hold the line? Most police are good blokes, they are trying to help and the job pays the bills - when riot police turn up they are making sure things don't get out of control and the general public isn't at risk.

I'd love to see how tough those bottle throwing morons are if the senior officer decided to unleash twenty baton weilding police all wearing helmets, shields and flak jackets... there are a LOT of countries out there where throwing crap at the police would NOT be tolerated and they'd probably Rodney King your ass

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
