Its getting really bad...i live in Mill park..northern melbourne and iv been pulled over 7 times these last 6 months. I was definitly not doing anything stupid. Every time i had my engine checked, tires checked and 2 times was sent to EPA to test my exhaust. Its just stupid..

Won't bother arguing bout how dodgy cops are but most r good and reasonable even with standard cars but in the end u have bought the gtr for the love of it, like I bought my gtst and gtt cos I always wanted a skyline. Just enjoy it while u have it mate, if the cops decide to act like cocks then that's nothing u can help. No one really appreciates fully sick kents who rip skids n make the rest of us look bad

Serious? Surely not in the northern subs... You may have something very obvious on your car that warrants them to take a look.

or the car you are driving has some sort of "history" with the cops. :)

Cops in the northern subs generally don't care unless you seem to be driving erratically or driving in a suspicious manner. Cause they actually go out and fight the "real crime" and accidents as a priority - due to resources being stretched.

I imagine defecting someone is lower in their list.

As opposed to the east and south east where the crime rate is generally lower - so "possibly" more reasources are focused on the roads.

I've lived in different parts of northern subs for the past 22 years.

But since you are from Mill Park - they could be ramping up cause of the guy that decided to wrap himself and some friends around a tree back in January...

By the way I find the cops in the northern subs pretty tough (really lay down the law) but easy going and don't mind a friendly chat - I guess they have seen way too much - that nothing really shakes their world anymore. If only more cops were like this... but that's probably for another thread - and would be open to debate :cool:

Pft you can have illegal mods. Just make sure they don't find them :D my car looks 100% stock under the bonnet. So I don't care that they pull me over with my skittles paintjob because I never get defected haha

wow... now that's confidence...

your car is too loud for starters.... then there's the matter of the aftermarket turbo... your injectors are the wrong colour (epa guys can spot this)

from memory you have a hole cut for your fmic....

you could be reeeeeeemed

(but your car is DEFINATELY not too low) :D

After I get this EPA cleared I'll be taking Boronia Road from now on. f**k Burwood Highway and f**k the gauntlet. Most police I come across are nice and most cop cars don't give me more than a glance, but there's something about Knox TMU...

That's what I'm saying man, it's the area. Saying "oh you wont get pulled over looking stock" is just plain BS. It's a matter of time, unless you're out west or north. Come live out east and you'll see what I'm talking about. You'll be f**ked in the ass, I guarantee.

In saying that you can mod legally but really, what are your options? FMIC or POD, No ECU, no boost, no turbo change....whoopy do!

I had my kicker panel pulled off to check my ECU by the TMU, they are THAT thorough!! I'd swapped the PFC plate for the stock Nissan cover plate luckily.

Yeap but just shows how useless cops are. I just don't go to Knox and I'm fine. Cops never questioned injectors or even knew it had a larger turbo. They really can't find shit lol

The cops r probs reading this lol...Now they know the bright orange Skyline is illegally modified.... :)

The answer is simply if you can accept the fact when mod it you will get done eventually every now and then and if your prepared to deal with it rather then bitch about it then go ahead, me personally I like the mods I do and yes I hate getting done but to me driving my car with mods and enjoying it outweighs the price of getting done every now and then I just think of it as a extra tax for driving a skyline.

I use burwood highway all the time, no dramas at all, but i've only had the supra for what, 1.5 months?

Which sections should i avoid?

I find stud road just as bad around the knox area, even my dad noticed he got a new Pajero from High street road / stud road corner and when he was checking up on the progress / paying stuff off, 3/4 of the times he was there he saw a commodore pulled over, soarer, and a skyline, just at the bus lane there..

Also thats where i got done once as well, even in my full hecktik non turbo bro.. they don't care apparently my P wasn't up even though it was.. just wrote a letter saying WTF? and got out of it. Driving normal too.

The whole of Knox man, but specifically the gauntlet (that section of traffic lights that 99% of the time you have to stop somewhere outside of Knox). I used to drive through there all the time with my Soarer, never got attention. And in a year of driving the R33, no worries either bar a couple of relatively unfair traffic infringements. But they will eventually get you on the defect. I drive through there at the moment but that's because I know I can thrust the defect/EPA notice in a cops face and say too late your colleague beat you to it f***face. Once the EPA is cleared I'll be avoiding at all costs.

High Street Rd, Stud Rd, Scoresby Rd, Ferntree Gully Rd...STAY AWAY!

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
