Morning all,

So I was on my way to work this morning and just as I'm about to park the car the Toyota Aurion throws its red n blues on. I couldn't think of what I had done wrong so I pull over and two plain clothes cops get out. They identified themselves and showed me their badges etc.

They asked if I knew why I had been pulled over, I said I had no idea and they told me I had been driving erratically :( . So I'm waiting for the ticket to come and he starts asking me about my driving history n whether I've ever been to court for anything. Now I'm really confused.

He takes my license and does the license and rego check, everything is fine as expected. When he comes back he asks me for a contact number? Seriously WTF now. Give him my mobile and he tells me that they have black flagged me. But if he was a traffic cop they would of fined me and probably taken my car!

Does anyone know what this means?

I assume it is something that will come up during a rego check on the car and give them more reason to pull me over for random breath tests.. :D

Can anyone confirm?

means that ur car has been reported previously to police about driving in an unsafe way, most probably by an off duty police officer. just be prepared to get pulled over very often now and have ur car searched

Well it wasn't a previous thing the cops that pulled me over told me THEY had just black flagged me. I don't think I was driving dangerously. I definetly wasn't speeding. The only thing I can think of is I went from the outside lane of a 3 lane carriageway to the inside lane. But I indicated properly each time it wasn't a massive swoop across all lanes effort.

Ahwell f**king bullshit I'll just have to be extra extra careful from now on. Any idea how long the black flag lasts?

stuff it all, change your number plates and the black flag is lifted.

A friend of mine bought a skyline from a drug dealer (didnt know at the time), but he was getting pulled over left right and centre. One copper asked him "do you have any drugs in your car again?", held a gun at him and told him to get out of the car and keep his hands visible. Then he realised its not the same person and advised him to change his plates so he wasn't mistaken again....

Yep my car was flagged as well from when it was stolen, they had my personalised plates and I was a "person of interest" I think it's been sorted out now. Saying that though it was 3 years after the car was stolen that I was first intercepted about it :S

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
