i've been pulled over 3 times now for RBTs, not including being pulled into bays... Have a lovely FMIC, trust PE2 exhaust and rims.

First time I hadn't changed the cars rego into my name (thought I had), and the officer gave me a warning, did a pod and BOV check and listened to my exhaust and let me go... Second time they just gave me the RBT, last time RBT bit of a chat, checked for BOV and pod and listened to the exhaust... Never had a drama.

I thought I would have been cannaried by now for the front mount and exhuast at least as I've had them for year and a bit and regularly drive through Campbelltown in the early evening... But I'm never a smart arse, always have my license waiting when they arrive at the window, ask the officer how their night is going and go with the flow... That being said, I'm shit scared when i get pulled over these days, too many stories about people being done for "no reason."

I drive really carefully in the Skyline and I think thats why I dont get hassled...

in an attention seeking car like our lines we dont have a choice but to drive carefully or we will get harrased and then taken to the cleaners

had my 33 for 3 years, got alot of gear on it now, never been hassled even once. RBT's Highway, they never have said anything about my car. that said i had a Benz (190e 2.6) a few years back too when i first got my license, nice gunmetal paint, Evo2 factory rims (worth a mint), nice stereo, lots of suspension work. Aesthetically just a really clean car. Used to get harassed everytime i would drive anywhere. tallied up nearly 10 tickets in a 12 month period for petty shit like roll through a stop sign, no P plates when i was wearing them only i had it on the wrong side of the fromt windscreen. Cops in penrith tried to pin me for speeding in a paddy wagon. A police Nissan Patrol tailgating me so close i thought the thing was in my rear seat busted me for giving them a brake test (didnt kno they were cops)...

Put it down to stupidity. Once they pulled me over for some shit and the bloke said "Who's car is this? obviously not yours, you can't afford $80K car" i mean wtf? as immaculate as it was it was worth like $10K......

All that aside though i have met a few top cops. Just there aren't enough of them..

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
