This was a bit odd: Was driving home last night at 1am along Albany Hwy (60 zone) doing 75 when I noticed a car coming up behind me in the right lane. Didn't think much of it, and kept going. After a while, the car changed into the left lane, came up beside me and that's when I realised it was a copper! Doh!

I was still going 75 and was waiting for him to pull me over, but he just slowly accelerated and drove off... Phew! :D

(guess he just couldn't be bothered or maybe he was on his way home)

Weird how sometimes you get nailed for just doing 6 over and other times (eg. 120-something on Old Coast Road!) they do nothing!

Anyone else been let off the hook ?

Yeh that has happened a few times to me. Just when u think their gonna pull u over they dont. Trick is to slow down easy when they pull up behind u they are usually speed checkin so if u stomp the brakes they will know easy.

BTW: he coulda got u for riding the right lane:rolleyes:

How this for a funny but close one.

I was going through winthrop av/ stirling hwy near UWA and the light turns orange so i think waht the hey and go it. Drive down stirling and onto the freeway and turn off on canning then start going down kintail road and WHAM look in the rear view and low and behold a pig car right there.

Apparently he had to chase me all the way from UWA. All i can say is what a moron i wasnt goin that fast and it was an EB for gods sake.

Thought that was worth a tell seeing as i laughed all the way home and dam near in his face.:lol:

if you wanna rig up a switch, connect it to your rear numberplate light, hope they haven't seen the plates already, and they can watch as the back of your car dips and you screech off into the yonder

hmm...maybe not

you might end up on that polair program on access ;)

my h/brake doesn't work properly so I always pull that up to slow (unless of course full brakes are needed)

Bizzare incident i remember was when i was in my old R30 a couple of years back. coming down ranford rd near canningvale, a dark green vt pulled up beside me with pursuit rims, i looked over at him when he went past (sure enough he was a cop). He then looked at my car and floored it! so as a joke i did aswell! he then kept booting it until we reached a set of lights where he turned right, when i went passed him (by this time i had slowed to the speed limit), he just looked at me with a smirk on his face! i thought to myself - draggin' a cop! wtf!!?

My mate has a dark blue VT s2, darkish tint, pursuit rims, mobile aerials on the back window, no number plate surrounds... so when we wear our light blue business shirts and go for a cruise people sh*t themselves and slow right down....

works best on the ricers in Honda's, excel's etc :( oh, and P platers!

piss funny ;)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
