Lol nothing random about that.... Lucky your car is a nice stealth colour :blink:

Under the yellow street lights, my car looks white too :P

Charles it's because you're a dodgy Asian lol

We the same, you're just a little darker haha

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.

Not true! Haha. Here's my stats.

P Plates acquired in 2010 September. Cars owned along with 'checks';

Toyota Supra 7MGTE - 0 Checks.

Mitsubishi Lancer GSR 93' 1.8L Turbo - 0 Checks.

Toyota Mark 2 Jzx100 - 0 Checks.

Nissan Silvia S15 Sr20DET - 2 Pull overs, Busted for driving a turbo on P's and no P Plates the second time. Currently on 1 point challenge to date.

R32 Skyline Gts-t - 0 Checks so far :D.

S15 wasn't coincidence. It's focused hard by police :(.

Yesterday the skyline got bretho'd 3 times...

In Bendigo, they were doing everyone going into town in the morning... 10am
In Echuca, they were doing everyone going out of town just after lunch... 12pm
In Heathcote, they were pulling cars into a 4 car lineup in a service lane... Pulled in 4 cars, waved others through, pulled me in even though the lane was full so we had to wait... Once the other 4 cars moved on, I moved up to #1 and they pulled 3 more in behind me.

I've got zero problems with this... in Heathcote they had a HWP guy standing there typing rego's into a laptop (presumably checking for unrego, unlicenced or persons of interest linked to the car)

Good on them for checking for drink drivers so strongly on long weekend... On the other end of the stick, the gf overtook a truck at 149km/h (max on the PFC) because she wasn't used to acceleration... I lold.

On the other end of the stick, the gf overtook a truck at 149km/h (max on the PFC) because she wasn't used to acceleration... I lold.

I did that on the way home from buller... drove the whole way under the limit.. overtook 1 car and BAM... busted...

luckily the guy was a nice country copper and once we chatted about our mutual dislike for HWP he dropped it down to 119 for me.

Funny, since I've stopped driving my R33, I no longer get the Big Bopper (Coppers) seeing a white skyline & following me through traffic for a couple of km's before pulling me over.

Only twice have I been pulled over now in 3 yrs of Commondore driving:

1) 2010 - No Plates by HWP (when I bought it - had a temp.reg sticker - Legit pull-over reason I'll admit)

2) 2013 - Tail-Lamp out by motorbike cop in the Cardinia/Dandy roaming taskforce.

In the Skyline I once had HWP see me going the other way (@99km/h) on country highway - pull a big U-Turn & overtake 2-3 cars to pull me over - just for being in a Skyline. Anybody who says imports aren't targeted just for being imports is either incapable of rational thought or a D!(kh3ad.

p.s. an ex-country cop I knew at work said: "All the a$$#oles get put in the Highway Patrol car, because none of the other cops can stand being stuck with them for a shift."

I kid you not.

topic has gone somewhat off topic as of late.

did a search and found this

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/west/melbourne-residents-fed-up-with-hoons-in-their-streets/story-fngnvmj7-1226632009788

said biltz is ment to end august

"Melbourne has drastically changed - hoons, graffitti, violence - they are all related and need to be looked at urgently."

^

as car enthusiasts are considered as hoons it doesn't paint a good picture

Don't see how those three things are related...

Writers usually use public transport or walk and aren't terribly violent people...

Hoons aren't out to try and hurt people...

The only thing they have in common is the word scapegoat.

My step-uncle works for Whitehorse Council, an area that I used to live in...

They got a heap of complaints from people living on Morack Road because of people doing 60 in a 50 zone... Wide Wide road... So they put in some speed humps along the road... 12(!!!) of them to be precise.

Speed complaints have stopped. Now they get the same people calling up to complain that they don't like the noise of cars going over them and then accelerating after they go over them.

Some people just love to complain... these people also vote, so when it comes up to election time, they make it look like they've done stuff for them.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
