I like cops, they have a hard job dealing with idiots druggies and drunks, if I was a cop I think I would end up getting in trouble for belting all the mouthy idiots and the scum that are everywhere.

They drag dead and dying bodies out of cars, clean up the mess after some scum has bashed his partner or kids, chase down scum who bash people for fun or the money in their pocket, things like this give people a short amount of time for idiots, they put themselves on the line for me and my family.

Are you going to put yourself in front of a meth crazed junkie to protect my family ???

COPS ARE TOPS

The cops are taught to look at they way people dress and behave, if you are a hoody wearing pants down around your knees kind of guy then you will be looked at, same thing if you look punk, emo, goth, metalhead, are you from a poorer area wearing top dollar clothes, they look at stereo typical types of fashion, also your personal apperance has a lot to do with it, if you have bags under your eyes or look half asleep, have bad skin you will be looked at.

This is their job, this is how they work, when the cops are hassling you they do it for a reason, they wait for your reaction, if you get aggro or your facial apperance gets dark then they will push.

Simple psycology is simple.

Yeah well I no alot about psychology but some of these guys definety are on massive power trip and I'd definety say it's the nsw police force are the worst I've ever come across the Queensland force are definety alot more calm and easy going but look at the tossers in nsw so i don't blame half there hard add attitude u get spoken to like crap all day ya gonna talk to people like crap I happens to unfortunately roll into 2 police road blocks an the way i was spoken to was a joke police only have a right to enforce the law if it's broken they don't have any rights unless you break those laws but they need to calm

Down on the modification stuff chops springs and bald tires yeah ok but none of this over board shit it's the idiot p platers that makes us look bad in there fully sick commys bloody worst cars ever some of us love modifying our cars because it's a weekend activity for fun ya know new stereo lights it's like what awesome thing can I do next and yet sounds like the cops are going way over board but yet again I no some really decent cops that are bloody unreal fellers but some are crooked and need to get reported if it was for them idiots on tv dropping skids aca footage we would be fine thanks to them it's all gonna change

Ill put this forward as an example.

Driving down a road in the 33. I was doing 80, cop comes up behind me *pwooo* yay my face drops. (Not condoning speeding, it was near 11pm and I've just been driving for 2 hours, just wanted to get home)

Cop pulls me up,

Me: Good evening sir

Cop: Any reason why you were speeding

Me: No sir, just want to get home

Cop: license (handed over)

wait for about 2 minutes

Cop: (hands me a fine for doing 10 over) Have you got a engineering certificate?

Me: For what sir

Cop: For your wheels, exhaust and that gauge

Me: No sir, wasnt aware that I needed one for those modifications (I was truelly unaware)

Cop: We will have to get that checked out

Me: Ok (poker face)

Cop: But I'm a bit busy tonight (cop gives license and fine and walks away)

Bottom line

Yes Sir No Sir May I have another Sir

Don't worry to much about it,when you get old and drive a liner they don't even look twice at ya. :banana:

LOL, me to.

Most times I get pulled over the cops look in the window and go "um err, we are pulling you up for a random breath test" they then walk back to their car and get the thingie.

Some times they ask about the mods and I give them my folder with the rego, insurance, cams licence, engineers report, they then have a chat about the car, ask me how fast it is, I usually say "its pretty quick but it would be even quicker with a better nut behind the wheel, I laugh, they laugh, and then Im on my way.

Works the same when Ive been pulled in and the RTA are there doing vehicle checks.

Never a problem.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
