I have noticed yesterday around belconnen and civic there have been loads of cops driving around and doing license and car inspections. Has anyone noticed this too or know why?

Yeh Mate, I have noticed it alot. I usually see at least 4 cop cars or paddy wagons everytime I head out. They are everywhere. I've seen motorcycle cops in the middle of roads with radar guns, Pursuit Cars hiding down from Speed Vans.

How vigorous are the inspections you have seen? are they just checking stickers?

I wasn't in my skyline..... lucky. But the things they checked was just rego and tires.

I haven't noticed anymore than usual but I'm southside. Filled up at BP next to a red AFP car last night but that's about it, haven't seen many others at all...

Maybe there's a blitz on the northside or something?

Yeah, too many awesome cars on the northside. Probably trying to fix the ratio

Are you sure? Even the ones with Australia Federal Police written down the side? and the guy who was filling up was in full constable uniform

yeh a Xmas Cruise would be awesome.

I think you will find that Feds dont waste their time with petty traffic infringements and motor vehicle related matters. They leave that to ACT Policing.

I think there has been a substantial number of recruits over the last several months. Must have graduated and started duties.

Certainly they are not a "not-for-profit" organisation.

I wonder if you can buy shares? But as Tax payers I suppose we are shareholders of sorts. When do they pay the dividends from our shares? I could use the money to pay the fines and increase my share holdings.

massive roadside inspections going on monaro highway northbound just before the new gaol intersection.

that was still there when i drove past 10mins ago. im glad i left before they started.

Long gully/mugga lane is fine, that's the way I went back from hume.

Also, don't go back through QBN, just in case. there was a cop with a radar gun, but I wouldn't put it past him wanting to inspect ppl (not that I think he's allowed lol)

Keep your cars legal and ya shouldn't have issues ....

I got defected a month ago now and it just aint worth the hastles anymore to drive it with too many mods , if ya gonna mod keep it within the guidelines

Had to spend over $1500 in one week clearing defects it just aint worth it ...

The only problem I have with this is that the last time I was defected, the cop & RTA dudes ignored my engineers certificate. I have my wheels and FMIC engineered by Ray Spence, passed Dickson with no issues, yet on the side of the road they didn't seem to care.. So I just find it easier for myself to avoid the roadside inspections.

Just to clarify. The guys in red cars with Australian Federal Police written down the side are called Uniform Protection Officers and deal primarily with Guarding high profile government officials, bomb threats, embassy related matters, terrorism, they are not instructed to perform general traffic duties. When I say ACT policing its general title given to regular police officers around canberra, because technically AFP are national. Federal Agents, Uniform Protection officers etc wouldnt waste there time pulling you over unless you had a bomb or some of columbias finest.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
