I got pulled over on the maroondah hwy last night in ringwood to be told that "im going on the air to let other units know you're in the area, do anything stupid and your car will be impounded" to which my response was WHY WHAT DID I DO? "You're not from this area, I have reason to believe you are here to hoon". I was so pissed off, I just did a u-turn and went home, ruined my night. I wanted to go for a nice drive to the black spur.

i was at kk last night with a mate in his 32 we decided to leave and as we are driving out of fountain gate 5 cop cars and 4 bikes passed us, we parked and walked back.

15 marked cars blocked off all the exits to the carpark and 4 bikes when into the center and started checking cars, there was also an unmarked barina that was driving around fountain gate looking for cars trying to escape!!!

can you realy get done for a bent numberplate? :laugh:

mine doesn't fit into the standard numberplate slot so its bent as well

you're not allowed to mod the plates in any way, so bending, cutting etc will give them one more thing to defect you for...

As for water in the washer bottle, yeah it's petty, but the reasoning is that if you're windscreen gets dirty and obstructs your view, you aren't able to clean it...

You could write to the comissioner or whoever if you really wanted to, but I dare say they're going to be happy with what their officers are doing...

meanwhile, i wonder how many people got bashed in the city last night, while police resources were wasted on bullshit and raising revenue?

yeah my miss's went Chasers on Chaple St last night ... she said she did not see one cop car at all , no foot patrols or anything, that pissed me off.

felt alright letting her go down to chalpe st cause of all the foot patrol's they say they have, and now they have none cause their out looking for bent numberplates. god damn fools

feel ashamed, i was actually gonna join the police force.

worp if stock r34 na springs fit in your i got some lol.

Thanks for the offer but i just bought some cusco adjustable coil overs off here instead, will be easier than putting in standards then having to change them back after the rwc.

Did the cop mention the adjustable coil overs being illegal, have had a couple of not so reliable sources tell me there illegal today.

Can you also ask him what the go is with measuring the height, where i pulled over the road was not level, in the middle of the car the road would have been higher and since he did me for 30mm too low if i had have been on a flat ground it would have been close to legal.

Should've probably asked to measure the height on flat ground or

ask him to measure the height of his car when it is sitting on the same uneven ground as your car and see if it is legal

He was on a bike :D

hmmm... front bars are usualy plastic or fibreglass, its not like its going to cut anyone badly

sound sike this cop was dead set on defecting your mate for anything even if it makes no sense

i see cars that realy should not be on the road all the time, but yet police pick on the modifiers who take care of their cars

:)

in cases such as this (and only if your car is legal or close enough to easily pass an EPA test) simply pull out your phone and record the officer (yes if they are on duty it IS legal) and say you are complaing to the police ombudsman. even is he decided not to book you, complain anyway.

f**k them... the more of us that complain, the more mountains of paperwork they have to go through etc... let THEM be on the shit side of the viscius circle.

Well I can vouch for one. Spent Friday night in hospital with my mate while he was getting stitches in his head after being bottled several times in Springvale.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
