Depends if you drive like a moron on the street or not...

I'm off my P's now but i still have only been pulled over once in the 8 or so months i have owned the car (and it was 3am on my way home from work). I live in hawthorn which is basically same area you do.

Put simply.. dont drive like a twat and u won't have a problem.

these are defiantly the kind of responses i was hoping to hear. i admit i am not an angel but 99% of the time i drive responsibly. I have a Stock engine and a modified muffler tip so i got nothing to hide, Cops intimidate me... they have guns!

i think you will be pretty safe, i have a 3.5" turbo back exhaust system and pod filter (ie lots of induction noise) but i dont flaunt it. just save the high rpms for the race track!

You also must have the right attitude if you do get pulled over. dont have ago at them for doin there job. The one time it happend to me in my 'line the cop seemed to have an attitude towards me expecting me to be a prick cruising around in the wee hours of the morning. He took my licences, did his checks and returned nice as pie when he had seen for himself i had never done anything wrong.

Just got my car back today (have unpainted kit, fmic, turbo back) a TMU literally was cruising next to me n i didnt even know untill around 40sec later (sneaky bastard was in my blind spot), n yeah, i drove normal, did a head check to change lanes and BAM he was there.. i acted like i didnt see him, he followed me for around 1km down bell st, n turned off..

Just like every1 mentioned already, drive normal, save petrol, and use that petrol u saved for the track :P

oh and u might have saved a life too ;)

pulled over for "random checks" about 13 times while driving a non turbo R33 between september last year to february this year.

imagine the power/weight fines i would've collected if it was a gtst lol

all times i was driving normally but all were in highly patrolled areas like preston, thomastown, epping etc and i used to be down there ALOT

so yeah it all depends on a few factors....

high st/st Georges rd/bell st are pretty full on,

hume hwy (around the new cop shop/cemetery)

and sydney rd around dawson st (again that massive cop shop)

if ur going from that area to city, go up bell st and take Melville road to brunswick rd, then royal parade (stick to middle lane)

Its that 1% that will be your down fall..

Look you have started off on the fight foot..You bought a GTS... ;)

As long as you have a P plate you will be a easy target.. So just take it easy..and drive

Dont let your mates rule how you drive ..Your incharge..(remember they have nothing to loose )..

Am i starting to sound like your Dad or a Vic roads add yet......Sorry..

Enjoy your licence buddy...

Here's my experience - if a cop wants to GET YOU, then they will... there's like 15 things they can do you for and give you a canary, a fine for etc... e.g. a mate of mine got defected for have a toy super-glued to his dash (cop said it was blocking his vision and if a crash occured could be potentially dangerous etc) - bang... a fine...

But in general, if a cop follows you, tries to intimedate you - just drive normally, to the legal speed limit, drive safely and responsibly and they will not hassle you at all.

I didn't get pulled over once in the 9 months I was driving my skyline and it had very dark windows and GT spoiler just to grab some extra attention but I didn't drive it stupidly to grab attention. My advice is to hide as much as possible FMIC, cover you pod filter and obviously don't have loud BOV and it's mainly how you drive and where you drive depends a lot whether you get pulled over or not.

I personally pull over every import with FMIC as almost everyone with FMIC has Pod filter also so illegally modified and I go by their attitute whether to EPA/NOU them. Obviously if committing other offences fine for same.

He's right,

Its common sense, hide as much as you can. Keep your driving record clean. I drove my gtr for over 3 years and only got pull over ONCE for random checking. Not every copper want to ditch you just because you drive an import.

Its funny really I still havent been pulled over once in my skyline.. I have however received an epa letter in the mail (no big deal), my skyline is relatively stock but does have a loud exhaust and is painted a different colour to stock (this sometimes makes a difference) but as of yet no real issues.

However......

When I owned my auto tx5 turbo I was pulled up probably once a month for 14 or so months, most of the time the officer was really good had a look over the car told me I had a few things wrong told me to fix em or next time I'd be off to the epa.. other times I obviously had some who were having a bad day on one occasion I was unroadworthied, epa'd, fined for speeding and fined for having my p plates behind dark tinting, as well as almost fined for not yet changing my address on my license..all by the same officer and on my birthday of all days. And my girlfriend was in the car in tears lol.

But generally drive safe dont be an idiot and you'll have no probelms.

You'll get pulled over, might not happen for a while but it will. I never drove an overpowered car on my P's so every time I've been pulled over I've been 21 or older. I give it a little squirt sometimes but nothing stupid, no wheels spin or stupid driving. Doesn't seem to matter though, last 3 times I've been pulled over I was WAY under the speed limit driving to the movies or the gym or something like that. One particular policed officer (you know who you are) seems to have quite a liking for my car, perhaps he's jealous of me huh ;)

In any case the only satisfaction I get is wasting his time when he pulls me over and finds nothing wrong. "Don't mind me office if I have a nap while you waste your time". Ahhhh it's gonna be gold.

If you're on P plates....I'd HATE to be in your place but hey, stupid for putting yourself there in the first place. You'll get bent over and #&@#ed

I have had my car for 3 weeks now and have already been pulled over,

i was frustrated cause i couldent find were i needed to go and the cops wore really nice and gave me a MelWays and helped me,

the only thing they said was, "your not ment to be driving that on your Ps"

But that was it...

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
