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.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
