Yeah, It's their job coz of the odd d-heads who give importers the rep they have. Everyone oons here & there but some guys just don't get it and do it in public (dangerous) places.

Don't have that problem now I have the ultimate undercover hoon mobile - a Magna wagon! :D

No power = no stoopidness.

l.a. cops i believe have the motto 'to serve and protect' - i don't think any cops in australia have this motto...

There is an 8 foot high statue of a victorian police badge with that exact moto under it on the corner of spencer and flinders street that says other wise.

:D Why don't people understand that the police are there to help us, but like our politicians, manage to do the worst job possible

When are you going to understand that these unmarked SS TMU cars are just that. Their whole responsability is to pull over cars and fine/EPA/NOU cars. There is general duties for response and crime prevention patrols. CIU to investigate serious offences. I guess the day that they go out and there is no drink/drivers, no speeders, no collisions and all cars are EPA/Roadworthy then we won't need TMU units. I guess that day will happen when there is no Burglars, thieves in society either.

And as stated earlier "Uphold the Right" is the Victorian Police Motto.

quite you, i have a blatant disrespect for the police officers of this state, sure i realise there are your good and bad cops within victoria. But when my skyline had been stolen i rang the cops, they were supposed to come around check out shit etc, nope, got a phone call.

Then a week later i rang them to see what they were doing, the answer i got was.

If no one calls in an abandaned car, yeah pretty much f**k all.

I mean i didnt have much respect for them to start with ... but indeed that lost all credibility in my opinion.

So lets say, go team justice

and literally how can they canary cars, when i know for a fact most of the cop cars goin around can be canaried.

Things like oh no mud gaurds, omg your handbrake clicks up 1 times to many, even tho it is supporting the car anyways ...

well theres 2. Pitted windscreen is a fave also :D

Gotta agree with you there. Some police are great, some are very helpfull but it just seems like when something is wrong there is no one there to help you but as soon as you DO something wrong they are everywhere.

The respect issue comes from an abuse of power, if an officer isn't impressed with you they will simply FIND something to defect you on. A perfect example is -

1. Water in window washers to low

I once told an officer I wasn't impressed with his so called "random check". He found nothing wrong but then decided that since I'd kicked up a stink he'd defect me with bullsh|t. Some police need to remember that they are there to SERVE us, not the other way around. We have a right to say as we feel. Respect is the key.

Hey Guys,

Just to give you guys the heads up. There is a new undercover patrol car in the west area (st albans, deer park, keilor,delahey). He has been pulling everyone over. Even worse he hunts modified vehicles down.

If you see a VY SS (dark blue) with darkish tint, stay clear.

I saw him the otherday do a u turn on a busy road as he stopped a modified vehicle. The worse thing is he was literally hunting the modified vehicle down through the back streets of town. And i thought they were to serve a protect.

Ive spoken to some local business in the area and they all know his vehicle. So guys just take car around this area. Anyone run into him?

Cheers

Adam

Yes i got busted doing 90 in a 60 zone on devonshire rd, sunshine by the blue vy ss. That day i just got my full exhaust put in, and as i was driving home i was testing out the exhaust, and all of a sudden i see flashing lights in my rear view mirror. And since then i have seen the car around the area, so eatch out for the car pplz

"Respect IS the Key" as ADZ said!

Respect them and you will probably not get such a hard time.

Honestly who among us would want their job?

Yeah its easy to critisize the hard time they give some guys but you can bet if you were the cop you probably would have done the same thing for the crap attitude towards you(the cop).

I think you have to remember they are the ones that get to the splattered skylines occupants first when someone makes a silly error that ends up fatal. Would you want a job like that?

And dont think I have not been pulled up and singled out either, last time in Carlton it cost me $4K to fix all the stuff I wanted the opportunity to do when got done for 1 tyre on the low marker and the other 3 nearly there but I think they have to get you for more than one to make it stick.

Getting old and sometimes think that the Karma that goes around comes around ;)

Maybe that unprovoked canary prevented you being in the same place as a semi comming the other way or something like that the next day. :D

Good post ;)

They also probably put up with a lot of stick when they pull people over especially car loads of young people on a Friday night.

      I'll just leave this quick tip here after reading your joys of getting the car in the air. It should take no more then 10 minutes to get the car safely up on stands.  So for the front, jack on the tow recovery points (marked in red). Put the jack stands under the lower control arm mounting point (marked in yellow). This photo is of a R34 GTR, however the process is the same. For the rear, jack under the diff (marked in red). Put the jack stands under the rear subframe or where the lower control arm mounting point (marked in yellow). Which point you use will depend on your stand, pick a nice stable point.  You've probably already read this but it's worth repeating. When jacking up the car or using stands, stay away from the chassis rails/pinch welds. Even the factory jack point, stay away from that too unless using a factory jack. I used those jack points for years without issue until I turned into an old man and bought a QuickJack lol.

      And this is where the leak is happening: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7h1vlmg2j5aa7rksvsjc9/IMG_9982.jpeg?rlkey=d3bnpau5f615zmxqmca0llvr7&st=kquvdxvs&dl=0   Apologies but it seems adding an image from a link does not work when the images are in Dropbox.

      Hi all, From the western suburbs here. Just got my 2000 R34 GTT registered today! Got it imported from Japan through a mate who is doing them and managed to find a decent one. This one has only done 110,000 Km and had no body rust etc. so was very happy. I used to own a 25Gt back in 2015 (ate Ramen noodles for years to save up for it), but unfortunately, it got stolen TEN DAYS after I bought it!! Came back from Uni and the car was missing - cops found it in Springvale a month later with a lot of needles  😒 It was too late by then and I had moved on to a different car (300ZX), and after that one got broken into around 2018, I was in a very bad place and decided I would never buy a car again because it was just pointless!!! ~yeah, I have some very bad mojo~ 🥺 But now, with a stable job and a secure garage, I thought I'd get the R34 4D again but not as a daily! I love the R34s but a GTR is still a bit off my pay grade so settled for the GTT instead.    The first step for me is to get this car serviced and have all fluids, belts and spark plugs changed. I might do the brakes at one point too but atm they are fine, the fluids are what I want changed since this car probably sat in a garage for a long time. I'll then get some coilovers since the suspension needs to be changed anyway (the dust cover kit is disintegrating). I'll also upgrade my car alarm to a Viper system and then look at rims and tyres (I'm a sucker for TE37s - might have enough saved in another 3 years for that).   Today: I was planning to do the oil, coolant, air filter and fuel filter change this week. Started on the oil change today and MY GOD what a pain!! I used to think the 300ZX engine bay was cramped - oh I was so wrong! 😂 I've done the usual services on my cars before so it was not like I was going in blind. I looked up all the forum details about what oils to use, what coolant to use, what points to use to jack the car or place stands etc but I did not expect it to be this hard. Long story short - all I managed to do was the oil and filter change. I think I might end up taking it to a mechanic for a coolant change because my SCA stands and trolley jack just can't get far enough underneath to the cross-member and I don't want to be crushed under my favourite car....yet. Side note: In Dandenong, there used to be a shop that lets you hire their hoists - does anyone know if they have those around? I can't seem to find the Dandenong place anymore. I contacted them off FB almost 6 years ago and I'm not in it now. If anyone know of one, that would save me some time going to a mechanic for the basic services. Oil: Dark and gooey but no metal pieces. Oil Filter: Was a b***h to take off but no red flags Air filter: Yucky! Was black (Smells like fuel which makes me think it may have been running rich? - am I way off?)   Concerns: I have but one concern atm and that is that there was a very small amount of oil leaking where the engine and the transmission connect (Automatic). It may be the rear seal? It's not a massive leak and it does not affect the oil pressures or leak oil all along the driveway. It's been falling into the cover this whole time. I've taken the cover off so I can check the garage floor from time to time.  I also have not seen my engine temperature gauge ever sit at cold and slowly move up to the right spot, but that might be because every time I saw the car today, it was running. I'll check that again tomorrow. ATM it just sits right in the middle. I may just be paranoid but I don't want an overheating engine while my gauges say everything is fine. 🙈 Other than that, I'm very happy with the car! Feels like it's about time I went back to spending my weekends driving or cutting my arm on stupid sh*t in the engine bay.   PS: I will post a pic later on because I underestimated soooo badly today and it was dark by the time I finished! PPS: I broke the two damn plastic pins that hold the intake funnel section to the front bar. This is the piece made to bring cold air to the airbox. The connection to the airbox is fone, but the two clips just broke off! Should I be worried? Anyone else done that?
