Its changed my opinion of Police, i see the nastiness, the unwarranted attitude they display and pretty well the HATE...., i am tending to agree that a lot of people with questionable psychological issues seem to end up in the Police Force.

Its also this mentality that police men and soldiers are hero's. Dont get me wrong, it is sad when a police man or a soldier dies in action but when you see front page cover's of newspapers decorating fallen cops and soldiers as hero's and shutting off the CBD for their funerals for 1 person it really shows how out of place Australians really are. They died in action... but when 100,000 people die in mudslides in a remote part of asia its luky to be posted in the news between the weather and the sports.

agree with both of you

Probably because ive had a bad experience. Cop did the same thing to me, tailgating me i hit my breaks he rear ends me. Loss of license for 3 months and i had to pay damages. When i requested the video to take him to court he said it wasnt recording. Cop sad i was driving recklessly for slamming my breaks for no apparent reason even though HE REAR ENDED ME. Now as above has mentioned im targeted even after changing my number plates a few times doesnt help.

Shouldnt have hit the brakes then

Maybe you should join the defence force or the police, you might then grow the f**k up and understand that the law is the law and they are doing thier job.

Such hatee

Not hate

I just don't like idiots

Edit - In the 3 years and 9 months of havng my very modified r33 i got pulled over for a "random" RBT/Vehicle check TWICE why? Because I drove like a normal person, and not like a dick head

Not hate

I just don't like idiots

I dislike cops being A-holes who think they are king shit. I think everyone shares this mentality. Yet you call me an idiot for having this view. Your probably some old fart who is cynical of everything and just hate for the sake of it.

I have no issue with police if they are doing there job as they should be.

They are like normal people and if you fail the attitude test then its going to be curtains. If you fail it with just one of them then your going to get it from them all.

27.... probably some drop kick who thinks he is being mature. He should maybe think of joining highway patrol, he'd fit right in.

im 25 lol,

and yeah heaps drop kick,

I dont think Im being mature, I just find it funny that everyone hates coppers for doing their job,

So who are you gonna call if your car gets stolen, or someone crashes into you and drives off....the police, but OHNOEZ, as soon as you get caught speeding they are the worst guys in the world.

Spoken like a true drop kick, sell your r33 you are not worthy. Go hold hands with the highway patrol, maybe you can be the operator of the mobile speed camera's.

LOL calm down a bit 'jawrgy'

anyways, in my 2 years of driving a r34 NA which has a kit and rims etc .. basically having cop attention mods.. i didn't have much trouble at all? A couple set up rbt's, a couple targeted rbt's to though. I live in the West and used to travel to Ryde and Cambelltown area all the time with no hassles =/

Then again those couple of RBT's i had were basically pulling me over to try and defect me :/

One proud incident-

cop: ''pop open your bonnet''

me: no problem *opens it up* everything's stock *with a big grin*

cop: where's your turbo??? it's illegal to be driving this..

me: ummm it's a non turbo.. i'm on my p's

cop: ohhh ok..

I'm in the same boat, I got RBT'd 2 months ago in my car on my p's, he asked to pop the bonnet, couldn't find anything, everything is stock. So 25 minutes later, after checking exhaust, which is stock, checking tyre profile when tyres are 90%, he actually decides to serve me with a fine for my back p-plate not being visible. He came up with the fine smiling like he had accomplished something and finished with the "have a nice day". Ill never forget that smile.....

Heres where my p-plate stays because I cant sit it on the side, it flies off and cant put a p-plate holder because the plate is bent, but ive never been pulled up for it before and have not been pulled up for it after so I dunno.

While petty, the officer isn't wrong for pinning you for obscuring your P plate. There are a few options you can do to prevent this happening again.

1. Magnetic number plates on the boot lid

2. Buy/make a P plate holder that comes under the number plate

3. Cable tie the P plate to the number plate (I did this on my Ps, be warned though, the P plate will only last a month or so before it breaks off :/ )

And thats a wrap!

jawrgy, you might have had a bad experience in the past mate, don't know and don't really care.

What i will say though is that there is absolutely no place for the attitude you've shown in this thread on SAU.

I'm not saying you have to agree with everyone, but personal attacks will not be tolerated. Its pretty simple. Like it or move on.

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
