there's actually an operation atm to crack down on stolen cars, they're trying to meet a target of a number of rego checks a day. Well das what my mate who's an undercova coppa told me.

Remember guys, its only the traffic cops we hate...

I spoke to a mate who's a cop and he said he was only ever in a bad mood when doing traffic shit. Not to mention he's beaten most of my speed records :D

hey nismoid,

were u in tullamarine on wednesday? turning on to the freeway (towards city) from mickleham rd? at about 6ish? i think i saw u once again

nah. the car is @ the mrs ATM. i got no license lol!

so she is driving the beast to keep it running.

Plus her chev is getting air bags :D

but yes. ONLY the road/traffic coppers i have a problem with.

Other members like the ones that sort out domestics and all the other things are totally reasonable and level headed.

I got 'chased' down the road at 50km/h by a copper who also told me that my exhaust was too loud, and I needed a EPA test and had to hand in the result within the next 28 days!

I saved him the trouble and pulled out a piece of paper from the glove-box... an EPA test they did on my car with I got the exhaust fixed 15 mins earlier in Box Hill! :D

They just have bad days... get sh!tty 'cause they get traffic duty, and pick on ppl... not to worry!

:bahaha: what did he say to that one? :D

I think if you've previously had an EPA test its a good idea to carry the results around. Even if legally they hold no ground the second they are done, its a pretty dickhead copper that goes and puts you in again just after having being cleared. They can, but well there are grounds for complaint if they keep trying to dobb you in when its fairly clear you're not over the limit.

he asked me how long it took to do on my computer...

I politely asked him to come back to the garage with me if he thought it was a fake and to ask the person that did the test for me :)

I then basically through the results back in the drivers window and went back to his car, says not another word.

the good ol' "Have a nice day" must only be reserved for when they give you a ticket and know your day is going to be crap!

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
