if they're goin to use unmarked cars, watch out seen a new unmarked commie the other day - souped VZ SS that had a discreetly placed 297 badge on the rear wouldnt pick the prick as a copper either........dark tint, no antennas, blue paintwork

Ive had a bit of attention since my defect experience. I seem to hav the cops randomly follow me. Like randomly follow me home from army on a tuesday nite (from warradale to seaview downs) and not pull me over. Like they'll be driving one way and physically turn around after seeing me take off normally and follow every move i make. Admittedly since changing number plates ive had less attention. Still get asked about whether my car runs LPG or not...............as ive finally had my tank taken out (afta not having used it for 12 months) and still having the filler cap on the bodywork (which i cant remove till i can afford a respray cos its going to need welding up and filler. However i spose it depends how ya drive. If ya drive sensibly and get pulled for miniscule shit then its harrasment. My headlight occasionaly goes on and off......requires a love tap to make it work........been queried a few times about it and i just "tap" it and it works again. they're cool about stuff like that. Cars aint perfect. Just wish they'd pick on the shitheaps more than the modded cars

Hey guys was meant to hav come along today, but because of sickness i was unable to. Havent met any of yas yet but afta being told by a friend that this happened i had to offer my condolances as well. Never like to hear about accidents on cruises, especially like this.... Hope ya get well soon Drew..............something like this makes ya think how precious life is. Cars can be replaced, people cant be.

I now have a silvertop RB20DET in my R31, and the series 3 auto trans slips like a bitch at the moment as it cant handle the power. Manual conversion is not an option, as the cash outlay blows a non-existent budget at the moment. Basically what im after is a good condition auto trans from an R32 GTSt with the trans controller preferably Im in SA, so if the price is good i'll accept from anywhere As i posted in my for sale thread, im not always on here, so drop me an email at mftonkin@bigpond.net.au if you can help me out Cheers Matty

I know my experience is nearly 12 months old, but ive seen too much bullshit lately........... Just afta xmas last year i got pulled over in grenfell st for a breath test. Cop looks at my car (then a dead stockie aside from mild cat back exhaust, tint and pod) and reckons its half alright, and his son has one just like it. Asks about the LPG system, whether he can check everything is up to spec (test dates etc) Having been my first car with LPG, i assumed when the used car yard sold it to me earlier in the year that they would hav checked shit like that. Cop comes back and starts writing the canary cos there was no 10 year stamp on my tank. Visit to regency..........had the test done on my tank, 100% okay. Spent some extra money, went to pedders and had ALL my bushes replaced and power steering pump done cos it was leaking like a bitch Go through the whole test..........start gettin picked on for small things, chrome washer jets, white LED parkers (that appeared ever so slightly silvery blue in the middle of the day in their POS workshop), tint on the front driver and passenger windows, a small hole in my driver's seat fabric, driver's seatbelt (didnt look at the twisted and equally dodgy lookin passenger seatbelt that remains today), and exhaust..........this is a stock R31 with a cat back 2.25" system that registered (GET THIS) 90.1dB!!!! Spend 2 grand gettin new bits, borrow some untinted glass, get it signed off to drive (as its my daily to work) and then prepare for the anal reaming every time a copper sees the 2 stickers in the window. I got pulled over on my way HOME from regency that day and the cops started laughing at the shit i got done for - thats right, they laughed at what the cowboys did me on......... Have been followed on many occasions since, but now i fear that if i get done again i'll never pass as i couldnt afford to return it to stock again My mate went to comply his auto NA R32 bout 4 months back......had a workshop do all the work to bring it legal......he gets through with exception to the 2 rear tyres.....the ADR approval stamp wasnt clear enough so he got made to buy ANOTHER day pass to go over to Bridgestones and buy 2 new tyres for the rear.....then to come back and hav his compliance (and rego) approved. That is a joke, and from what ive read over the last 2 days and 22 pages, it sounds like my mate and myself got it relatively easy

My 31
