my gfs cousin is a police officer in sydney she hates hwp after they booked her partner for crossing double lines!

Commonsense applies here.

If he was going over an unbroken line on an apex, he should be booked.

If he went over an unbroken line whilst getting past a parked car (for instance), he shouldn't.

Sometimes it comes down to attitude - on both sides.

yeah i dont think HWP are in it to make friends, if they were it would a pretty masochistic endeavor.

they are at about the bottom of my list when it comes to generalising about random occupations i cant stand, unless their only job was to attend accidents and book drivers who hog overtaking lanes, they would move pretty quickly to the top then. (of course this is a sweeping generalisation, been pulled over by some nice enough blokes and of course with my new found maturity shouldnt even have to find out first hand if my pet hate is valid).

@ rb25, being a mature law fearing driver is par for the course when ur an SAU member, we have a reputation to uphold right? still would be nice to know when u guys are out just for er, satisfying general curiosity..

alright enough trolling and flaming, leave jahn alone, he makes it far too easy to turn it into a shit fight otherwise.

more 'cool story bro' stuff, how many of you guys have managed to talk ur way out of a ticket? or at least had the fine reduced a little on the spot with a bit of charm and a sparkle in the eye?

i for one know about 3 or 4 chicks who have been flat out let off just for showing the right amount of cleavage and a winning smile. yet to see it in person but probably coz its only a girl on her own who would get away with it, wonder if its less likely these days now that all the stops are recorded with video/audio?

  • 2 weeks later...

I work around moorebank n have seen these coppers. Now, say u get suckered in by the cops tryn to go ya n u get booked, surely u can contest this due to both parties driving negligently..

If there gonna neck u for driving like a spaz, might aswell take them to the cleaners 2.

Cops are there to police irresponsible behaviour, not friggin encourage it. Tossers.

Thats is so true, a few weeks ago i lent my skyline to a friend (a chick) because i needed a lift home from the pub that night. She picked me up at about 1am and on our way to her place she gets pulled over by HWP. Does the usual RBT then walks around the car a few times with his torch and ask's whos car it is and why its damaged, i said it why mine and gave him an explination. He walks to his car for 5 mins then comes back and says "i'll let you off tonight even though you're driving a defective vehicle but if i see you driving it around i will defect you." If i was driving it i'm more than sure that i would've been bent over and defected. Not to mention she wasn't even showing any cleavage, its bullshit double standards but im glad the car didn't get defected lol

I live around the Sutherland Shire, Christmas eve 2009 - I had had my Red P's for about 4 months, pulled out of my mates street behind a green commodore (recognised it as the local HWP undercover, as I live near the HWP base for the shire). The cop saw me, pulled over, waited for me to drive past, floored it behind me, overtook me illegally on a one lane road over double lines, then pulled back over, came up behind me again, tailgated me for about 5 minutes, then pulled me over (had 4 mates in the car) did a RBT. He said I had blown over (hadn't had a drink in over 2 weeks) so I said to him if he wants to take me back to the station & discuss how he overtook me, then do a proper breath test & waste both of our times, then he was welcome to. He said I was free to go, went speeding off.

Considering HWP wear microphones and have In Car Video they'd be risking their job to do this.

Go write a novel mate.

on the eastern distributor a few weeks ago i had a R31 skyline and a stock new lancer trying to race me at 1am in the morning..

Admittedly i baited the R31 into a race then as he went, i let him and the lancer go for it, they hit i reckon about 140-150...

Lights lit up on the lancer (was undercover) and the R31 got done hard! i just cruised past and went on my way :)

So what you're saying is, you baited the R31, he took the bait, you pulled out, and a copper at the right place, at the right time, booked him?

I think the more important question is.... since when did HWP use Lancers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, ive herd of them using aurions (yet to see) but other than commo's and falcons what other undercover cars do police have access to??

In Wollongong we have:

Commodores,

Falcons,

Pajeros

Hilux Utes

Corollas

Lancer

Tarago

Magnas

We used to have a Rav4 or a CRV, and house mate says he's been pulled by a Camry before as well.

Correct, it wasnt hwy patrol, car didnt have tint or anything, cause i was along side him and didnt notice anything werid apart from the fact a new base lancer wanted to race, i thought it was pretty funny, but it was a cop... the guy in the R31 must have shat himself!

i couldnt believe it either, but its a true story. Happened 3 weeks ago on a wednesday night.

Was cruising down heathcoate rd moorebank when a green SS and a yellow XR8 come flying up through the traffic the XR8 slows down next to me gives it a rev then looks inside to see my 8 year old daughter starring back at him from the passenger seat, he then dropped down a gear and floored it to catch up to the SS, Shortly afterwoods i was sitting at lights when the SS and XR8 pulled up after doing a blockie and to my surprise the were cops with lights on the dash and plain clothed.

I suspect they thought i would race them and make a easy bust.

BEWARE :banana:

Just find it sad that they are resorting to this. its all good and all that they are trying to get recless drivers off the road but to actualy try and prokve an offence is plain sad. It seems its not about road safety any more but money and their next promotion. Just plain low :down:

So who was trying to run you? The R31 or the Lancer?

I'd say, from their perspective they've seen you and the R31, and someone is G'ing someone up in that group, and they just came along for the ride.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
