The one thing i disagree with cops doing is holding back and hoping for you to do stupid shit. The cops should have pulled them over immediately eg for putting hands out and legs and driving dangerously. Cops secretly want you to run so they can chase and have a reason to treat the roads like a go kart track all for the reason of "chasing down".

Stupid bike rider =P, always check behind for a commodore or falcon before having a lil fun on the roads....

i also check for a silver camry, black evo 10, silver golf and a long list of other under cover cars that they use.

I echo this sentiment exactly. And who cares about swearing? I curse like a sailor at work, why is it different for police when they're in the privacy of their HWP car?

i totally disagree. they shouldn't be swearing they should've been saying "oh darn" and "what a silly goose", LOL. if i was the cop it would've just been strings of swear words, not just the occasional swear word.

i think you can also sort of tell from this thread they type of people who, when pulled over for a random stop, are generally polite, and those who probably get all defensive and start by saying "what'd you pull me over for? i ain't dun nuffin wrong? you're just picking on my coz i drive a hektic skyline" LOL

Lol @ The bloke on the bike running for just dicking around then! If he had done shit all wrong, then he had shit all to be worried about. Running from the police was the only reason they were in a pursuit. I know from my shitty experience with police pursuits, that they well and truely are not worth it. If i had stopped, i probably would have been on a 3 month holiday from my license. Instead, i got 2 years which i deserved. Another thing worth noting is because MOST POLICE break the pursuit, i was of the opinion i could easily get away like i had previously. If i hadnt had the one that chased me down, god knows how many times i would have done it.

hm, until you are polite and still you meet a dick of a cop who insists your stock front mount is a modification.

i say, there needs to be a transparent audit on the attitudes some cops have towards import owners. Why is it that I get shoo-ed away when i found parts off my stolen car for sale online, and get told "we are doing our best" but then never hear from them ever again? But i get pulled about half the times i take my R out for a drive. If they have the time to be out pulling over import drivers, i'm sure they can find the time hunting down some dodgy thieves and resellers.

As said the motor biker is a idiot, but it would be interesting to see what a police review would say about the constables actions in the chase....

Remember people, give way to emergency vehicles but "only when safe to do so".

Just reading between the lines OT, I gather that misuse of public money is going into gestapo policing methods? - when in fact their job description could be altered into more constructive use?

I'm assuming by "more constructive use" you mean a reformation of the duties of police?

Remove their free play time in the squad cars? haha

What a story to brag to your mates, and grand children! come off it, this is the sort of thing a cop dreams of, chasing the baddies etc etc.. even though it turned out to be just some knucklehead who seems to have watched a bit too much Tron.

loved the un-edited version too, "f*ckin ram him, ram him!!" lol

I feel like they need to be told that they're giving the other top cops a very VERY poor name...

You do realize their orders/directive comes from the Top Brass?

It’s not giving them a bad name at all, it’s doing exactly what the majority of the community are lobbying for.

Enough of the “cop/police threads” that just turn into a story for “this is your life”.

If you want to do something… Then gather together similar minded people in your local electorate. Then go lobby your local parliamentary representative.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
