Geez you're lucky Dean! :) I haven't had a neighbour complain yet and I always fly around here!! :(

Fingers crossed I've never been pulled over or hassled in the 18 months I've had my car - I'm still paranoid and hate being within a 15 mile radius of cops but what can you do? If they're going to pull you over, there's nothing you can do... I just hope I get a decent cop like that :)

I have been told that mine was too loud, HP pulled me over when I went past them, then they tried to convince me that the stock BOV was aftermarket & they were going to defect me. let me off but not without reving my car on his way past.:(

I make the seat brown when cops are behind me, whether I have or havent been doin somethin wrong.

I think everyone feels the same way about this when cops are near by - we all shit ourself. Who here is cool calm and doesn't give a shit?

GFXMan, as you were sayin before, even though we get shafted for doin stupid shit in industrial area's, it's still illegal.

Even though you're mate was on his fone for 10 seconds, it's still illegal.

miss33, come waste some tread in my area and hear hte god squaders complain.

Yep I hear ya timmy, i get lumpy pants too when I see cops, especially the females ones..

I think its just skylines owners in general that always get pulled over.. it seriously blows.... If i take the ute out instead of the skyline, i dont even get looked at... take the skyline out, alawys come home with some loss of demerit points...

I get the sadz.

Honestly I don't normally care if there are cops around.. if one pulls up next to me i just ingnore them , don't even bother to look.

I have been followed before , also a cop did a u-turn behind me.. never got pulled over, been stopped at numerous breatho's and never questioned about my car.

I may be lucky who knows, but i just go about my general business and have never been hassled.

I have not been pulled over once in my Skyline and hassled.

Now saying that i have been pulled over when I had the VT (GFXMan you will remember that one :rolleyes:).. but i deserved it as I was driving in a "racing fashion" down Anzac HWY.

In over a year of owning the R34, I have only been pulled over once. Just the other day, in the hills, I pulled out on a blind T junction & nearly got cleaned up by a Police Motorbike! He did a u-turn & pulled me over. He let me off with a caution. Hardly even looked at the car! i am always polite & unless i was speeding, usually dont have a problem. touch wood.

Ive noticed the copson bikes thru the hills are ok, ive been flying down Gorge with my mate video taping, then two cops coming to opposite way point at me to slow down.... Phew they didnt chase after me.

Anyway its all on tape, makes for some enjoyable footage.

Haha that was so un fair :) How about the 10 second GTR or the 11second gazelle up front? Always the backmarkers that get done ;)

na the cops are out to get p platers i got followed for bout 15 minutes the other nitght then he pulled me over and fined me 190 dollars for not indicating long enough and took away my last 2 demerit points now car will b of the road for 6 months (they wont catch me next time) :P

na thier definatly are laws for skyline drivers and laws for others how often do u see the ******** wits that drive commodores geting book the sh*t they pill on the roads is out rageousbut the cops dont cain them down as much as they cain us down .

timmmay i was drivin down anzac just the other day and i had a cop just cut me off no indication at all then at the lights a cop on a bike was goin in between cars to get to the front its f**** bull*** that they dont practice wat they prech i heard the other day theres a blitz on around the flerieu peninsular so evry 1 would probably want to avoid there

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
