I was driving from a little st comming onto chapel st, in melbourne. I gunned it a little comming to chappel st, and there happen to be 3 protective services cars, and they were just chatting away outside their cars. I then turned onto chapel st, and quickly turned into another little st of chappel to hide. Within a few secs these guys drove out of the st, but didnt get caught.

When i seen then i s**t myself cause these guys wear the cop uniform.

Just wondering if anyone know what they're role is, and can they bust you for anything on your car like exhaust and noise etc.

Cheers guys!

Protective Services = Feds

They look after security for venues and officials (heads of state etc). They couldn't give a crap about you on Chaps - it's all the other Po-pos in South Yarra you should worry about.

Yep nothing to fear there....

They could have detained you indefinately @ our governments pleasure or accidentally gunned you down because you neglected to shave that morning.

But they can't defect you or give you a traffic violation so np's ay!!! :):P:yes:

I'm not sure whether they are Fed's Jameszilla.

I thought the were just govt. employed security guards, with stickered up cars & fancy eppalauettes.

They used to sit out front of my work every day as there was a couple of embassys in the building.

The real "feds" were there on and off in their unmarked V8 statesmans.

Australian Protective Services are part of the Australian Federal Police. They do have the same power essentially as an AFP officer, even slightly more in some cases. But they couldnt give two rats about your car. The worst they would do is dob you into the local police station.

maybe next time connect the brain to the right foot before your ego says "gun it" in a side road while doing chap laps. Then you won't have to worry who the f**k they are.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
