Hey Peoples

I was at knox city on last friday night, meeting up with some friends and the worst thing happened. I'd parked my car and got out of it, locked it and started to walk away. I got about 2 car lenths when an unmarked silver ford pulled up next to me and "requested" i follow him. Not having much choice i went along with it, cursing under my breath. He took me to this car park and there were heaps of cops their. Not to mention all the other done up cars. The booked me for literally anything they possibly could. I got the obvious Power 2 Weight ratio fine, Canaryed for the lack of tyre tread on my rear wheels, a light on my licence plate was blown, front bar not mounted properly because of the knob in the hyundai who side swiped me and a couple other minor things.

Then some fat dude came over, he was from epa, and he tested my exhaust system, sigh, got done for that to, then as they where going through under the hood, epa decided that my blitz bov wasn't an appropriate item.

So all in all, wat a great night, i had to walk home cause my car was officially unroadworthy, and carryed 7 different pieces of paper. Those being the fines / canarys etc. :cheers:

Thats not bad luck. thats retarted! Why the hell would you go down to knox on a friday night in a car you know your not ment to be driving. You get no sympathy from me.

I think it's foolish to be driving a car over the power/weight restriction on your P's, but it's a bit unfair to have parked your car and locked it... walking away and then get asked to go back to your car and drive over to a cop defect station. I would have flat out refused to go back to the car. Then you should have rang your Dad or someone with a full license to come get the car :cheers: haha

I think you got done very hard by the sound of it... lesson learnt hey?

fark that!! you should be able to drive anywhere you want anytime you want within reason!! fair enough you got done on ur P's though. some may call it harassment, i mean you werent even in your car for farks sakes!! id seriously consider writing to the ombudsman?? and complain about this incident. yeah as GTTR34 said, should have refused to go back, tell them that your gonna ring your lawyer first before you do anything (always nice to have a lawyer in the family) and get your dad to pick up the car.

I think you should have a word with a solicitor. I don't think they are entitled to "follow me" to you - they need to have you chance upon their setup. Otherwise the cops would simply "please follow me to the booze bus 2 km out of your way".

if you are out of your car walking away, there is no way the cops can make you get back in it and take you to a roadworthy inspection....and no way can they canary your car while its locked and you are not present.....

i would have ignored him and not said a word and just kept walking!!!!

What a shifty (unt! Making people get back in their cars and drive to a defect station? :confused: Surely the coppers have better things to do?

Being defected for a dodgy bumper and number plate light is nothing short of rediculous. They could probably put more than half the cars in the world off the road if this is serious.

I'm just glad I dont live anywhere near knox.

The power 2 weight ratio fine was $107. You dont loose any demerit points and they dont keep a record of it, so you cant get in trouble for being caught more than once. I know cause its not the first one in my car. lol.

Usaully i wouldn't dare go to knox in the r33 on thur, fri or sat nights. Cause it just aint worth it, but i was at a mates house and it was on the way home so i thought i'd stop and say hi to some friends. Screw them, not going out of my way to see them again. lol. It's all fixed and back on the road anyways.

I live less than a km away from Knox in vermont south. Pettet in his silver XR8 falcon obviously got you. But you know i was thinking about this the other day as I go to knox frequently - why arnt all these idiots hooning around Knox in skylines, soarers, WRXs etc on there Ps being pulled over and while Pettets home base is right opposite the shopping center. Stupid move.

No wonder I got harrased after seeing the way these guys show off around knox. But ohh well, I have my company car which a cop freindly camry.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
