i only ever got pulled over in my r33 once. it was at about 10pm on a sunday night. on my 10 min drive home the only other car i saw was the police car, so it was kind of obvious why i got pulled over. it was just an RBT and licence check and then i was on my merry way again. i was never pulled over in my 180sx.

a guy i used to work with at maccas back in the day was pulled over all the time. i think he was up to about 80 times in 6 months. he drove a bog stock r31 (this was in 99 or 2000) and i think he also had a vn commodore at 1 point as well. he was also in his mid 20's at the time. multiple times he was pulled over within 50m from his driveway (when leaving). they were always for RBT and he was never booked for anything. it was the fact that he started work at 5am, so he was driving around at before 5 and the police thought he might be DUI. he didn't think of it as being picked on (although it did shit him off) because he know that he was driving at a time that A: a lot of people would be driving home after parties where they may well be over the limit, and B: there are bugger all others on the road so the police pretty much pull over anyone they see.

i have been pulled over on numerous occasions in noosa (i finish work at 2amish) and have never had any problems with police... the only semi bad one i had was a bloke in cooroy who thought i took a corner to fast but still diddnt check my car over or fine me...

Also i had a mate who got pulled over every single night 5 days in a row by the same police officers for rbt's all on his street...

If you mod the car for attention (bodykit, loud exhaust, DRFTKNG plates etc), hang out in stupid places and drive like a dickhead, then yes

If not, then no

Exactly, drive it smart and don't put a 4 metre high wing on it with 400 stickers and you'll be sweet.

Also i'm not sure if many people know this but police officers have sort of a check list, the first thing is your attitude. If your arrogant to the police they are going to be a prick back to you and make it difficult. If your cool and polite you should be fine just as long as you have nothing illegal.

I was pulled up on the highway near airlie beach the other week for a standard rbt and licence check, the cop was very nice we chatted a bit about the V35's as they are very rare this far north. Also his brother or something owns one. He actually mentioned that he knows this forum and that he said i have a very clean car for my green P's and to take it easy.

Go ahead and buy your Skyline, it was the best decision i've ever made!

driving my r34 back from the sunny coast on a Sunday is was about 11pm was about 20ks away from the gateway was driving in the fair right hand lane . Went past a exit seen a marked cop car parked got about 2ks away from him looked in the review seen no cars still thought to myself better hop in the left lane as there are no cars on the road. About 5mins after doing that i see these set of lights flying up from behind me just looked like a normal car flying . It went past me doing around 160ks it was the cop that was parked he didn’t have his red or blues on went right by in the right hand lane until he went out of view . about 2-3 ks latter i see him again ! parked to the side went past him again driving like a grandma the whole time. Again he disappeared out on my review about 2 mins latter aging Wosh ! past me again doing the same speed with no red or blues on . At this point i was thinking he is not in a rush to get any were he is just playing games with me i don’t think this is legal of him to do this but any ways he disappeared again . I got to the gate way seen him yet again parked in the middle with his red and blues on looked to be waiting for me ? just as i got over the bridge i took the 1st exit to my surprise i seen him flying over it but the sucker missed the exit i took by about 10 meters because he was going to fast . i guess lucky me my car does look tidy is a bit loud but over all never been pulled up yet ,

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
