Police

[1MP0R7]

hi people was just wondering if the police can tell if your car is a turbo just by checking your number plates, rerason why im asking is because my mates seem to get pulled up by the police alot more than me in there comodoores,subarus,and some stock silvias. my car is a 92 r32 gtst,full gtr body kit,18" wheels,loud zorst and a big dirty front mount sticking out, but 1 thing is i dont thrash my car in town so every body can see.

so pretty much can they tell .Cheers

if they are knowledgeable they can tell without even looking - from the sound. Or from the badge, or the FMIC, or the rego.

[paulr33]

or the caliper size

or the tyre size on the rear

or they can guess and its most likely a turbo import (ie how many N/A R33s are there vs GTSTs?, almost all are GTST)

It comes down to the police officer background knowledge and their training, like most, many officers are trained to stereotype to help catch offenders....

+2, the "full gtr body kit,18" wheels,loud zorst and a big dirty front mount sticking out" couldnt have anything to do with the attention at all....

[wlspn]

Mr Stabby, if you actually read the first post I think you'll find he says he doesn't attract much attention despite all those things...

& from the looks of it, 200 was calling R32 SKYLINE GTS a f*ckwit, not the OP...

Who feels like a f*ckwit now?

[tridentt150v]

I don't know why, but I have to say this...............

Can you tell if your sisters a mole????

[MSTRshenanigans]

lol but seriously its on the rego info they can access if you have told the RTA/VicRoad/QLDtransport etc

[JezR31]

Some silly people think if they take the V8 badges off their commodores car police wont know theres an LS1 under the bonnet. All they have to do is type in your plates and all the details of your car and ownership come up.

so your complaining your mates get pulled over more than you in your turbo r32gtst with loud zorst and big dirty front mount?

try droppin a skid in front of em see how that goes.

you'ze be trollin'

[bozodos]

haha well trolled, god it's easy to get people arc'ing up in here

I heard rumors a while ago that cops will have a sort of black list in there local town of cars that are repeat offenders

bottom line, drive like a dickhead 100% of the time, expect to get pulled over 100% of the time when a cop is nearby

but as above, all your car details are on your rego, cops have computers they can pull it up on....

[paulos]

most people dont tell there rego or insurance about the engine conversion( if thats what you ment about the ls1) other wise yeah the cops know

and yes when a car is reported in by any one they check it out almost everytime they see you. My mates car kept getting pulled over turned out the car used to belong to some druggies. so yes for that black list

[RB25PWR]

It's not a 'blacklist', if a car is known to be used by 'druggies' - when they pull the rego up that information will just be there.

they do however have a 'hot sheet' for stolen cars...

[BREN0]

Same shit different name.

[GTRPowa]

so your complaining your mates get pulled over more than you in your turbo r32gtst with loud zorst and big dirty front mount?

He was asking, not complaining. How dramatic...

try droppin a skid in front of em see how that goes.

Haha JEA! - Wait, no..

you'ze be trollin'

Fail.

To the OP, the reason you're not getting pulled over all the time is because as you claim, you drive in a safe and respectable manner in the burbs. I haven't in the past and I've been nailed for it. There's something kinda cool about cruising within the limits anyways, these cars look fast while standing still.

[alr33x]

lol gtrpowa still cut up about the other thread dont worry im not gonna take the bait you aint worth it goose.

Lots of new technology in cop cars these days-some places even have systems that that do facial recognition when they are driving past you walking down the street. Basically keeps the streets clear of bad element & behind bars if its not abused.

At the end of the day you may just find the Answer stems from political pressures more than from the Police themselves. Politicians have got it in their heads that cause we all drive flash looking cars we can afford to pay the fines so they press the Popo to harass the import market.

Most police think its BS, but when you get the order you do what your told.

Try sticking it to the whinging ol'fart's who bags out hoons acting like they have never sped or done something stupid in their driving history. Call your local pollie a bonehead for ordering automotive harassment while old ladies & kids are getting bashed or raped cause all the popo's attention is on the car nuts having fun in an industrial area late at night when no one is around.

At the end of the day we all love the brand(Nissan), so we just gotta suck it up & accept it I guess-unless I run for office & change the whole lot myself
