hello officer marley.

what we are trying to say here, is that there is a difference between hoons, and enthusiasts, we here, at Skylines Australia are Enthusiasts.

the organisers of our cruises, such as kellie, DO NOT tolerate hoon driving, and have no worrys in forwording the information on these said drivers to sapol.

we ask that you work with us, to make our streets safer.as we are not in the majority you speak of.

thank you.

craig.

Thanks Craig, got your PM.

This has indeed become an intersting thread.

I'd like to welcome any Police Officer's comments and how we could work together to possibly change your opinion in generalizing about import drivers.

But please keep in mind (and this doesn't necessarily apply to you) that some of us could also be ex job and will not tolerate anyone trying to impersonate one, with details subsequently passed on to the FEDS.

I think we have seen the last of Mr sapol. I doubt SAPOL would let such a username be used, as the username appears to reflect the overall view of the SA Police. If you pm me your badge number, im quite happy to check all this out with a very high up close family friend of mine. If it is all legit, then as said before, we are all happy to discuss this particular scene with you.

categorising people is always easier than treating people like individuals, i look like a wog and wear glasses therefore ill be looking over my stamp collection tonight while serving you fish and chips and sled i think your a bikie therefore you must be taking out a gun to go shoot up a club somewhere

there are plenty police do that is wrong, such as the 1 that stalked my girlfriend home 2 nights ago by driving over a medium strip to begin the chase while she continued to do the speed limit (she had p plates on, get her) but clearly it would be inappropriate on my behalf if I blamed you for this.

if you havnt seen much on this webpage there is a lot of abuse generally towards hoon drivers. Driving an expensive car if your anything like me you often dislike anyone that risks damaging it while your trying to get from a to b, im to the point i won't even drive my car unless I am 100% havnt had a drink for a full 24hrs because you never know what idiot will pull out infront of you.

do you know the difference between cars well enough to be able to tell them apart or was it a matter of them being too far away to see? does an import include a commodore or falcon with a big wing on it and clear tail lights? did the toyota camry involved in the high speed chase into the city yesterday count as an import?

seems to me that people get in less trouble for stealing cars and conducting hoon activity than import drivers do for just trying to make it from a to b and don't get me started on people who take drugs while driving.

and that concludes my 2cents, everyone is entitled to an opinion and this is mine :D

and adding to the above i doubt a police officer would bother to put the effort in of filling out VE patrol car

Other thing to query is whether or not this is an actual SAPOL approved action or an unsanctioned vigilante operation.

Yeah, well, I don't think he was actually a cop. Impersonator. :(

Well, if we're done generalising the generalised community and the general population, then we can generally get on with talking cars in general.

:D

we can get back to talking bout the general

You are very close to nailing it Ben.

There are 3 possible scenarios here:

1. You're not a cop and therefore taking a big risk by impersonating one....Federal Police take that business very seriously.

2. You are a cop and are using the handle SAPOL without any written authorization because by using that name you are inadvertently representing this states police force, like it or not.

3. You do have written authorization and therefore this is part of a task force, only problem is, you are not very smart and quick to generalize and post on Kell's thread rather than initiate one yourself and introducing yourself in the correct manner which brings me back to point "1".

Hello

You see the fact of the matter is that most import drivers are out there and more times then not commiting an offence.

We are employed by the government to protect all of the Responsible drivers out there. Today on my shift i spotted four import cars taking off from the traffic lights erraticaly, now that doesnt show much for the rest of the import driving community.

Another example is the Creator of Nissan Silvia . com was caught doing underground illegal drifting in queensland recently and he is supposed to be highly responsible due to his image.

I will be attending the cruise on this sunday to make sure there are no Hoons out.

Thankyou

If this is a real police officer, im glad you felt compelled to post in this thread, but the cruises held by the original poster arent for illegal drag races / drifting or whatever. They are purely meet and greet type events followed by light driving. Go fight some real crime instead of terrorising import cars because of the stigma that some drivers give them.

SkylinesAustralia - Smarter Than The Average Bear

EDIT - I might also point out that if police come to any meet spots held on private property, like bunnings carpark or a designated carpark, they do not have any right to defect. Private property is sacrosanct, you can do whatever the hell you like there, provided it doesnt upset the owner. (Stupid things like burnouts notwithstanding)

Its adelaide mate, there is no real crime. Import defecting is all they have.

I found that 'sapol' guy funny. PM me your name and badge number mate, my sister in law is a 'computer jocky' at a police station, she'll be more then happy to make sure you really are a police officer.

tried to fire up the car after getting ready......dead battery.

happens all too often to me cause i hardly drive it :D

Take the battery out if your not driving it. I do that and the battery is fine 5 weeks on lol sucks taking it out and putting it back in all the time tho, but im not driving mine for another 4 months so...

****300 posts YAY*** :P

ive told this dazza dude to meet me at a diff location for the stagea cruise this sunday (ill b in dads car to look semi un-sus :P) so only then will we know if hes a champ with a stag.. or a piglet with a commy :D keep ya guys posted

get one of these no need to ever suffer a flat battery again i bought one for day but he forgot to turn it on :wave: so still didn't help him lol

I have one of those things. Pretty good. Bought it, went out to the car and had to use it haha. Now it just collects dust.

yeah its on charge already, my dad is very specific that it must remain on charge untill its fully charged. don't know why that is but it beats having a flat battery upon arrival at the vili's

i think from now on i might test early that the cars gonna start cause its pretty annoying when i grab all my sh*t out and commence unlocking all the crazy stuff i do to ensure my cars safe at night and then try n start with a da da da da reow aww reow aww (excellent sound effects) that last bit is the alarm going off because the car thinks the battery is being disconneted.

It would do the forum good if we did have a cop post answers to all the questions about defects and other matters regarding the law.

    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
    • So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
