Is it just me or does NSW bitch more about the cops than any other state. I've looked at the other forums and they hardly talk about "how bad cops can be" it also seems however that we have heavier feet and better cars ( hence all the defects, which we also bitch about)

Just my two cents:stupid:

I was out on a photo shoot last night for fast fours & rotaries in the pyrmont area, when a paddy wagon pulled up and asked the usual questions, who's cars were these (there was only 3), what are you doing blah blah blah ... then asks for our licenses. they recorded our details including phone number because there was complaints of people stealing number plates in the area...

which is all fair enough...

both these cops were actually pretty cool (so this is not a bitch!:D) one of them, and i dare say was a friend of "2rismo" on this list as i later found out, wondered over to my car and pointed out how easily it could've been to defect me. he continued to tell me that he hassled people depending on the attitude of the person and of course the reason why they pulled them over in the first place...

bottom line, if your going to do something stupid be prepared to face the consequences and most importantly if you dont show respect, dont expect to get any in return :D

hehe... you met const. walsh by the sounds of it. he can't be raised for comment at this hour but, yes, i've educated all of my cop friends to be nice to skylinesaustralia.com members.

glad to help.

question, do you have a club sticker on the car or was he just in a good mood?

Last night we where taking photos. The highway patrol guys stopped and gave us a few questions, then started slagging out tosh's car. Other than comments at the MR2 they where nice guys.

You just have to be nice to them, not overly nice but just polite and remember they are doing there job. If you are really polite, and he is being unprofessional then seek advice and do something about it.

I have never been hassled by a cop. (Touchwood) Dont be a smart us to them cause then they have ammo to fire back at ya. You will not win that arguement.

These blokes are doing a very dangerous job and are there to make the community a safer place. Show some "Respekt".

    • But, do I have to? 😬
    • While doing my tailgate struts I found some rust. Also replaced my bonnet struts. Such a cool satisfaction with that job.
    • So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.
    • Yea she is a hoot to drive 
    • I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
