Between the time of 8:15am this morning through to 8:40am while taking my sister to work from Coorparoo to Woolloongabba. I happen to see 2x white skylines (different people) get pulled over by the police.

For what reasons, that I'm not sure.

However, it does look as though the police are cracking down this week probably due to the stupid people who have been out there speeding and the amount of drink drivers we have on the roads right now.

But it does give me some idea that they are cracking down on skyline owners after seeing 2 of them pulled over by the police within a small time frame.

This thread is just to let everyone know and to be alert that they seem to be out in force and possibly targeting skyline owners and/or any import type car.

Na this is the worst they have ever been. Went to Bris Yesterday from the SunnyCoast and between burpengary and the turn off to the Airport I saw 8 high patrol cars with radars another 3 candy cars which had caught a car of their own. I then saw 2 4wd radars along that connection road from the bruce highway to the airport. I was nuts

Watching the news last nite, its all got to do with qld's bad road toll this year, beattie even had to do some press conference, maybe the've got more cops off holidays so i'm guessing this order has come from the top to crack down on speeding / dangerous driving / drunk driving- guess who fits all those demographics - young male drivers who own imports :starwars:

Although i was out driving yesterday and didn't see one....

Pretty typical for that stretch of highway though........

But still I think the police will be out in force just because there is more traffic on the roads, meaning that more quota's will need to be filled, meaning that the easiest targets will be hit hard, namely imports.

Be carefull driving and dont do anything that they can easily ping you for, like driving done the road in an import car......... :starwars:

best to get a 80's landcruiser, covered in rust, primer, belching smoke, brandishing a rusty bullbar with rod holders and a couple of busted spotties on it, oh and make sure you're shambling home drunk from the pub... these guys are apparently invisible to the cops..... saw it happen all the time up north qld way.. :D:(

some cop cars have fixed speed guns in them. im just telling u this so u can maybe ask to see the evidence of your speed as the officer didnt produce anywhen u were stopped. bcoz he mite not have shown u, but had a reading in his car with proof. so just see what u can find out about the fine before u go to the extreme's.

yer thats true, i asked him to show me where he got that speed from he said he used his speedo to get the speed of what i was doing, which i think it total bullshit. specally when there were cars passin me. so are u saying its not worth fighting? how would i find out if he had an 'onboard' speed gun?

my bro in law got pinged by a single cop following him and "matching" his speed to him

funny thing was it was on montague road at west end between vulture st and beesley (like 150 meters) and then down beesley (probably 200 meters)

bro in law saw the cop so wasnt speeding, but the cop came roaring up after him

caught up to him at work and gave him a ticket for 78 in a 60

i cant possibly see how the cop would have had time to match speeds with him, considering the short distances and the distance off the cop was, so hes taking him to court

will be interesting to see what happens . . . . . (court case early jan)

ahahahahahahaha, It's christmas. Deal with it. There are always heaps of cops out this time of year. how hard is it to keep it in your pants for the christmas period? It can't be that hard.

Qld is still the most hoon friendly state in the entire country. Please just behave for the silly season and quit your whining about how the cops are just jealous of your stock r32 gtst.

hey, that's super. Take it to court, beat the fine, then come back and tell us all about how you stuck it to the man.

While you're at it stop clinging to the archaic notion of justice.

There is no such thing.

what im saying is find out by ringing up the cops row ho ever u can and see what vehicle he was driving on the day and see if it was fitted with a speed device, maybe also see if they have a recording of the officer that pulled up over (sometimes they have tape recorders in there pockets) try and get all the info u can think of to fight it to make your case stronger, just so if or when i goes to court, u are not wasting your time and money.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
