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.

Yeppo. On the side of the road your engineers certificate means diddly dick.

If he wanted to, a copper could send a brand new, off the truck, car over the pits. The onus is on you to prove to the *cough* qualified *cough* staff at Dickson MVR that your vehicle is road worthy.

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.

Ahh yes the old protective service became part of the AFP, they renamed to the Uniform Protection Officers within the AFP.

where do you guys get this information?

the amount of misinformed generalised comments here is just ridiculous! I suggest that if you dont know what your talking about dont speak. most of the idiotic rumours about cars, roads and police are due to forums and clubs spreading stories from a mates mates mate.

Hello, you must have found your way here by mistake.

We're having a conversation on a topic, and each who have something to put in will, as suggested, put in their knowledge or belief.

What you've done is not that, but merely tell us we're wrong.

While I don't doubt you're probably correct in saying so, as your reasoning makes perfect sense, you failed to back yourself up with the CORRECT information.

Having not done so has only made you look like one of the people spreading misinformation.

Also, I type like a moron. Continue fellow Skyline peeps.

As is most of the information in the world, based on past experiance and scuttlebut.

As Trozzle said, put up or shut up. We love to be corrected by facts, please supply them.

^ This comment is true. They all used to be protective services but now they are a part of the AFP.

Please correct our comments if you have "inside information".

there are a couple of regulars on here who know who i am and know where i get information from.

to give you a hint i have a family member who is a high ranking AFP officer another in PTU and close mates in unifrom. whilst i realise some of you get targeted pretty badly for petty issues like exhaust and height it does create some poor stories.

yes protective service/ AFP wont bother most of the time to pull you up however they are still linked to uniforms and will have no issue putting your plates over the radio.

just remember a lot of police are car and bike nuts and a lot are in with some clubs.

Now at the end of the day wouldnt you raterh see more police on the roads then stupid cameras that have no discretion....

I don't think anyone was bagging out the cops?? (except maybe Sinista but he always does :banana: )

I also have friends who are police officers, so I certainly dont have an issue with them. But I'm still wondering where the mis-information is... we cleared up the protective services thing? What are all the other "misinformed generalised comments" in this thread?

You made mention of uninformed generalist garbage in your first post. But you seem to have backed up what was generally being said in a general way.

I'd rather more police targeting those who harm others, rather then revenue raising. But yes I'd love more MARKED patrols then revenue raisers.

PS what does PTU stand for?

Yeah I'd totally love to see more funding spent so more cops with a bone to pick can follow me around and pull me over. :cool:

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.

      I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.

      Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
