tell her you wanna hook up lol.....

delux...consider yourself lucky mate, he prob didnt have proof that you where speeding..therefor cant give you a fine.

i cant see a D having a laser gun in the car.....

prob just got bored and wanted a closer look at ya car. lol

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.

hahaha wasnt me on the limiter dunno where i grabbed that quote from possibly spotted thread

the top one look tuff!!

i can hear an RB happily on the rev limiter somewhere round my area...and for once, its not me....hmmmm steve??

i accidental rolled my sisters car when i took it forgetting to get her permission and had no one else in the car with me then tried to say it was stolen, so yeah lost my license for 6months

HA HA steve, i lost my bike licence as well, i got cought doing a burnout at my year 12 muck up day ha ha...oh well, it was only my learners.

Adrian read what Lee is saying its hard to fit a couple of aircraft between your cams

ei SPLITFIRES are easy SPITFIRES are not

i accidental rolled my sisters car when i took it forgetting to get her permission and had no one else in the car with me then tried to say it was stolen, so yeah lost my license for 6months

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.

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?!.

:P Yeh he was prob disappointed there were none of my crack whores in the back......... Should have said i just dropped off!!

LOL appreciated the blonde driver....... he didnt make any moves on me so i guess he's not gay!!

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
