when does it become entrapment? surely theres something governing how much encouragement a policeman can use to bait their suspect?

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that there is no "entrapment" in Australian law.... Only in America.

Look at the bright side guys.

A) At least the cops are showing a tiny flicker of good taste.

B) Maybe with the best import money can buy on the force, the cop's opinion of imports will change for the better.

They could be trying to eliminate the "us and them" mentality which exists within both the import community and amongst the police.

Or maybe they have wised up to the fact that the old Falcon/Commodore pursuits aren't neccesarily the best cars for baiting and chasing speeders?

Whatever they have decided the prospect of an R34 could almost be enough to make me join the force.

But then i did say almost!

If only it would make them understand just a little bit.

In my personal experiences the police fail to understand much at all about imports or their drivers. I have never even had a speeding ticket (perhaps that is luck) and i still get pulled over monthly for "routine license checks" and not one of my friends suffers that fate ever.

That said if they are going to giving rides away in their new 'toy' then maybe i could reassess my sceptic nature towards them.

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
