Took the car with the new suspension up to the pacific highway.

What a nice road and almost no traffic up there, except for lunatic bikers and the low speed limit :laugh:

After that pie in the sky place, i just caught the glimpse of a highway patrol way ahead.

He pulled over to let me go in front...oh no...after the next corner i pulled over didnt want him following me! for the next 15kms. He stopped behind me dammit..

First he checked my tyres..

Him: Why are your tyres sticky?

Me: Are they? Hot day?

Him: Why did you catch up to me?

Me: Were you going slow? I wasnt going that quick.

Him: Is it turbo?

Me: Yes officer.

Him: Can i see your licence?

Me: Here you go.

Him: Can you open the bonnet, i want to see if you have an external wastegate.

Me: :D Whats that?

Him: Goes on to explain, i tuned out but he knew what he was talking about.

Me: Open bonnet.

Him : Is it stock? It looks stock.

Me: Yep.

Him: I am concerned about your tyres being sticky. Take it easy dont kill yourself...and drives off.

He wasnt too bad, no attitude or anything, but then im not 19 either or even close! ;p

Girlfriend: Why did you get another skyline... oh no now im in trouble....

He was driving a marked patrol car....

As for the wastegate? I dont know why he was that specific, just an excuse to have a look maybe.

Yeah, that's my guess too.

Despite common belief, a lot of police are actually excellent and aren't out there to F&%k you in the arse.

obviously you've been polite and respectful which is what you should be and also the reason some people have troubles... they're not.

although, I can say from experience, there are some police that are just bulsh*tting arseholes.

nissky arent u running the standard bridgestones that joel put on them?

why the heck would the tyres be sticky, wouldnt it be better if they were sticky, more grip,

"dont kill yourself" why the hell do all cops think we're gonna kill ourselves driving a skyline.

I think the skyline is alot safer than someone driving a rusted old piece of crap that will fall apart if it gets in an accident. Ive seen plenty of those on the road every day.

Still its good to see the police are trying to keep the road toll down on the pacific hwy. I've heard that external wastegates are the major cause of accidents along there!!

I'm sure he coulda been more of a dick and picked u up on something but it still begs the question why did he bother??

EDIT: Oh and eugen, pretty much anything u do to your car can be defected. Boost controller, pfc, fmic, aftermarket suspension, wheels the list goes on....oh wait...now i'm not sure if u were joking?!?! My bad if you were :laugh:

      We have 2x Swifts and my plans for a Swift, unfortunately, do not extend to an intake and an exhaust. I've been having dirty thoughts about a 2.5L Suzi V6, AWD gearbag out of a suitable donor, rear floorpan graft to take the rear cradle from same, and either trumpets of evil or a small supercharger. If I'm going to make noise in a Swift, I want it to be anti-social, evil handling and rough. Probably need to be fully stripped inside, matt black paint, plastic windows, 7" wide wheels, big brakes, silly suspension, etc etc etc. I have no idea if any of the proposed driveline components could take the pain. But it would be a hoot finding out.

      Really, anyone modifying a car isn't being financially smart. We're doing it for the things we love. And honestly, a high revving, light, NA car is actually pretty darn fun. I used to have a Swift Sport, and I miss that thing as a daily, and yes, doing something like some intake and exhaust stuff would have made minimal gains, but would have bought an even bigger smile
