Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Got pulled over today on Sheppards Hill Rd Blackwood by undercovers........... The guy said i sped out of a side street onto Shepps doing 61 in the 50 zone outta Blackwood, then he prcceds to tell me my car looks too low(which it is) but then says "we cant actually defect you, but a traffic cop would" i said "yeh no worries" they looked thru the car, asked if it was modded, i said "nah mate, stock as a rock, do you want me to pop the bonnet for ya" and he said "nah all good mate, have a nice day"

WTF, since when CANT a D defect you?, and why is it that i was doing "61" in a 50 zone and he didnt give me a ticket??

Nice cops tho, was from the UK, maybe it was cos im such a nice guy............

Its pretty simple

they used the speeding excuse as a pretense to pull you over. They can pull you over without evidence

They did not have evidence as to the speeding (they didnt have a camera and their word wouldnt stand up in court)

They found that you passed the attitude test and u werent a tosser.

D's can't defect you because there are not many traffic detectives. Traffic offences are for the most part classed as misdemeanor s (aside from homocide using automotive as weapon/driving vehicle with intent to kill), so they tend to put D's on stuff like Murder, Burglary, Assaults, etc. Aka >where they're supposed to be<. But don't forget, to become a detective, you need to spend a fair amount of time as a constable/sergeant before they can apply to do the detective course. So those guys probably just felt like pulling you over for old times sake/to suss you out. Remember, the pretense that you're pulled over with may not be the intent that they pull you over for. The only people who have something to hide are criminals/drunks/druggers.

For my 2c, I have no problems when stuff like this happens. A) It means theyre actively looking for dodgy skyline drivers, B) It means that if you're not the 'boy racer' stereotype then you only have the attitude test to worry about. I've been pulled over a couple of times since I got the GTR but never defected. Provided good people don't get defected for minor infractions, I'm happy. Stuff like atmospheric Bovs, screamers, seriously loud exhausts should get defected. Its a big 'f**k you' to the environment and everyone whos neighbourhood u drive thru. However, considering the last few weeks worth of skyline thefts, I'm quite happy to deal with the inconvenience of getting pulled over, so long as I know that if any twit in a stolen skyline would be subjected to the same. And considering my numberplate is rather visible, I hope that I get known for my car in a good way.

Yeh for sure, totaly agree, and now i think about it i think i may have heard one of them say after smelling my boot and was like "i thought i smelt dope??" I said nothing, as i had nothing to hide or gain!!

Maybe they thought i was a drug dealer in my massive car!! Meh what ever i just hope they dont put on file that they "think my car is too low" so that the next traffic cop that runs a rego check on me nabs me straight away, i really dont want the car any higher, and cbf ajusting the coilies!! :D

Well its the old story about accountability. Don't forget that cops are subjected to >massive< internal pressure to do it right. As it stands I think there are 3 different agencies that investigate police officers for misconduct depending on the situation.

Once a bonnet or boot is asked to be inspect, it escalates into a second condition. Pulling over a person is one thing, but searching the vehicle whether it be boot, bonnet or interior, is another thing. If there was any question about drugs, they would have demanded an inspection, so I think that comment was psychological baiting at best (aka attitude test). And I certainly don't think they would've filed any such notes as a) indicating you may be low would require them to explain to their superiors how the came to that conclusion so if they didnt measure it then its not worth reporting. and b) I think they just wanted to suss you out, and if you were on drugs/carried drugs your subtle responses would have given you away even before you thought of a response. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

They can ask you to do all sorts of things, but they have to cover their own asses. And everything they do in the field must be recorded and logged verbatim, so theres stacks of paperwork for the modern cop to go thru. Its not just about pullin' the bad dudes over and bustin' some caps.

You passed the test man. Breathe easy. The only hassle you'll get is from someone hating/being thorough.

I can better that. I lost my licence for drink driving/dangerous driving for 6 months back in 2001.

Basically Id never had illusions before (some pineapple pussy drink with vodka/midori) and I sped up montefiori hill and tried to negotiate a 25kph corner at 80kph, in the wet (aka Wellington Square) and ended up crashing thru a pole and the square itself, >right infront of the cops<.

I looked in my rearview mirror and saw the silhouette of the lights and just said 'f**kit'. Dude came up said 'Please exit the car' and it was all protocol from there on in. 6month loss of licence. $1000 fines, $1000 legal bill, $4k car repairs.

Never ever ever ever will this happen again. Im anal about drink driving now. So yeah, a lesson learnt for the good.

And if any of u out there are risking it, think twice ffs. It'll hurt u way more than it hurts the state

hey Darren, they either thought you were a Pimp in your new ride or they appreciated the blondie driver........did the UK cop look gay?!

lol Ben, where you a cop back in the day or something.

Cops don't need any reason to pull anyone over these days.....if your driving a Skyline you only have to look at a cop twice at lights to give him a reason or even if you go out of your way to avoid eye contact to give him a reason.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
