I'm in agreement with you on putting more on duty in the city at night, but the amount of dangerous driving I see around my area more cops would be a blessing. The more visible they are hopefully the less people will drive like wankers.

i wish they'd get rid of all these cars with no brake lights.. does my fkn head in! way more dangerous then my road scrapingly low car..

damn streetracers :)

I wasnt even racing. I pulled up next to them at the lights, and i could sense that they were looking at the car. Lights go green - and i hesitate for a second to see if they will go firs,t but they didnt. so I went - got up to about 80 (speed limit), changed to the left lane, and they put the red n blue on. They just checked the plates (if it was registered to me), did a breath test etc - the cop was a nice guy though - think it made his day when i told him i stopped drinking about 4 months ago (not that i drank much or often anyway).

Thats pretty f**king bad. One of my dads mates was like that, even went to jail for 3 months after being done for multiple (more than 15) drink driving offences. He still drink drives to this day and actually encourages others to do the same. Retards... so many of them.

yep - i used to know a person like that. She got caught drink driving 2 times or something. Second time the judge warned her next time its the jail for her. Did she learn her lesson - nope. 3rd time she crashed into a car while not being insured, and driving on a suspended licence (i think). Luckily for her the car she crashed into belonged to someone she knew, and she was able to get a family member to come and help her out. Did that change her outlook? Nope - stopped for a while, but is on the juice again.

To be honest, i cant give a f**k if scum like that end up in jail or dead (better than them killing an innocent person anyway).....the world is better off without them anyway.

We have more staff on as holidays over so we are running traffic cars most days. I would say that most stations in same position so more out and about. We are running plate recognition days in next few weeks also which will be interesting.

I am almost becoming a professional drink driver processer as almost eveyone I pull over lately is pissed. Have had 4 repeat offenders all more than 3 times limit in last month. One also disqualified and driving unregistered car and almost ran us off road 3 times in police car. In his mind he did nothing wrong and told me off as I verbalised my disgust for him in no uncertain terms.

so do u know officer pitett? ns.com famous police rep from a couple of years ago.

I guess with a drunk person you have to let go any feelings about things you may have personally. As you are probably aware, rationality goes out the window most of the time. How do u deal with that? Does it frustrate you that there is no respite, and a continuous occurence of drunk people? Or can u spin it into a positive in that u are preventing people driving further that are a danger to others.

I totally am against drink driving if people are confused,

No I don't know pettett. I am getting sick of the amount of Drink Driver's out there and most are not a little bit over but smashed. I don't understand with all the media coverage and immediate loss of license why people still do it. (more than ever IMO) I am also frustrated that about 90% of them I have dealt with in last 12-18 months are international students and don't give a toss. I have seen some in at our station after fatal collisions where they have killed friends/family and others and weren't even the slightest bit upset by their actions.

I do feel good when I catch someone like that because there is a good chance that I may have stopped them killing someone else or even themselves. I never take things personally and never will, the day I can't control my emotions I shouldn't be wearing the uniform.

That is exactly the attitude all of Victoria Police should have, and I wish all police did; like anything the minority ruin it for the majority.

You couldn't have said it any better :D

LOL there are more than 5 people in the police force man. Pettett was known of around most of the Melbourne car scene for particular reasons, but I imagine the only people in the force who know him are his superiors and colleagues at his station.

RWC does not worry me. Other things do :D

even though people have legit RWC's, i have a feeling if they feel like it they will pin you somehow. for example warn seatbelts even when they are still decent. you dont even need to change them and go to vicroads and vicroads says piss off dont worry bout it. seen it plenty of times.

been there done that :P

got defected for a faulty seat belt. It got twisted when I got out. Dandenong TMU didn't see the difference and didn't bother un twisting.

Saw about 5 police cars last night coming home along the eastern - had one police SUV come up fast in the 80 zone before the tunnel and flash his high beams when I had a car next to me and couldn't move over, he then passed me on the shoulder. Couldn't tell it was a police car til he went passed due to it being dark, so he just seemed like an obnoxious SUV driver.

he is infamous.

People still drink and drive because even if they lose their license, its just a slap on the wrist to be driving without a license anyway.

not really i'd say its a lot harsher then all these ppl that bash the crap out of innocent ppl for no reason or stab em etc are coppping..

those guys from the hungry jacks bashing ill be suprised if they get 12 months jail.. its a f*kn joke no wonder ppl wana arm them selves and bring on some vigilante justice the courts are pathetic.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
