haha, internet english is a shocking language.

Doesn't require too much intelligence when there's guys driving around with I <3 HWY stickers all over their VL's...

Here is something I prepared earlier.

I couldn't help but shake my head for a long, long time...

Here are some of my stats: full license, intact.

Honda Euro-owned 3 years-0 random checks.

Skyline 33-owned 1 yr- 9 "random" checks.

S15-owned 3 months- 4 "random" checks with 2 EPA

mr2 turbo-owned 5 monts- 1 random check

Yamaha r1 motorbike-5 "random" checks.

So basically, if its import, sports car, you will be picked on. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

Oh but man...didn't you read the advice? Drive safely without doing anything stupid and you'll be fine (fineD). You obviously didn't drive how you normally drive when you were in the imports.

^^ don't forget the D. Hwy patrol loves giving you the D

#1 post I have seen from a-a-ron!

dw.... it only took 14,582 to get there

Another update of my experience....

Drove down to local coles to buy milk last night, at like 9:30pm. Drove into the carpark, and at the roundabout, there was a car on my right, so I stopped and gave up, then I saw a cop car behind the first car, so I waited a couple of seconds. The cop just looked at me and stayed stationary.

So I drove through the roundabout knowing that he was waiting for me, drove around the carpark and found a park, got out. He pulled up behind me, wind his window down.... So I said g'day office, he replies with "got your drivers license?". He went through all the checks then let me go.

Are imports targeted or was it random? you be the judge lol

    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
    • Well, moulded carpets should fit well if the buck they use is the right shape. The finish is then just a case of stiching the trim around the edges. Shuoldn't be too hard to get it right. Back in the day, replacement carpets were all "fitted", in that they were stitched together, with cuts and slices taken out to make them form the shapes. Many more opportunities to get it wrong, hence all the concern over good vendors and bad vendors.
