is...i dunno...a tree...sexing....err...funkymunky?

well when i was pulled over for a breath test (not randomly, they were doing it in a backstreet in the middle of the road on january 1st 2004) after he decided to give me defect for no h pattern and othetr such things he said to me "now you dont look like a hoon, but you are driving a hoonish car" (must of been my sandles, pale hairy legs and unkept hair that saved me)

that pretty much meant, well yeah, we didnt have to pull you over but i mean come one, your driving a skyline, its our government given right

jeeeeeez, you guys are hard on the kid! But so true you are! So I'll add my 2.2cents inc GST.

Doh!...

- Are all cops cops!

- Do all cops suck Steve Brax's co(k

- Are speed cameras really about driver safety & not revenue raising

- Do all dyno's give the same reading

Just incase you haven't got the message, the answer is Yes!

I was wondering if any other Skyline drivers feel that because they drive a Skyline they are more likely to be "cop bait" and recieve just a little more attention from our boys in blue just because of what we drive?  

Thanks

Of course they are, and their reputation with police is largly due to the behavior of many people who drive them in a manor that is entirely inappropriate.

Of course the fact remains if you are a sensible driver and dont set out to attract attention to yourself the police are normally ok.

i think this will differe from state to state.. but definatly in Melbourne, skylines draw attention from cops....

about a week or two after i had my car, i got pulled over around toorak rd... cop had a wrx pulled over was just finishing with him i drove past he caught me and pulled me over... checked over my car, license etc.. pop the bonnet, couldn't find anything, he said that and i quote

"these types of cars you will get pulled over if you come this way on a friday or saturday night" (it was a sunday night anyways)

i think its a bit harsh.... but he wasn't a complete dick to me... but he did have the attitude 'smart ass until proven otherwise' i was polite to him etc.. and he started to not be such a dick to me ....

but he did have the attitude 'smart ass until proven otherwise' i was polite to him etc.. and he started to not be such a dick to me ....

yep same with me, i just acted nice and friendly like the way i am normally (im such a nice guy, dont you want to marry me?) and everytime he pointed out to me something on my car i was "oh no really? oh damn, oh damnit" so he must of simpathised thinking i got my "GTST" a week ago or something (ok so i have had it for over 3 years now and it was a gts back then)

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
