Random pull overs.. when were you last pulled over?


Recommended Posts

I guess it comes down to what your car looks like and how loud it is. I have been trying to keep a stealth look about my car, but at the end of the day, it's a skyline. No matter what you do it will always be one and for that reason we will always be picked on. I think there are a few things that aid in not being targetted as much:

1. No stickers, huge wings, neons and assorted colourful rice

2. Use the factory rims or some subtle rims (not huge bling bling work 19's with 1 ft of dish)

3. Keep your window tint at 35%

4. Don't boost the crap out of your car at every chance

5. Get rid of your bov and use plumb back goodness/or learn to balance ur throttle

6. Don't have your stereo blarring at 150db

7. A reasonable ride height, dont have your coilies wound down on the stoppers

8. Huge bodykits and monster bonnet scoops are begging for attention

9. And most importantly i believe... DO NOT ESTABLISH EYE CONTACT WITH THE POLICE!!!

But this is just my opinion. And i am guilty of a few above mentioned which i would like to change (eg height and tint). If anyone wants to add to this...

If only that were true, the vast majority of time I haven't been on a cruise, and just been sitting in traffic. The cops single me out from all the rest, just cause it's an import:(

thats just what i'v found mate

the last 2 cruise's i went on really put me off going to them in the future.

one was a ppcc cruise where the carpark was blocked off by the cops and ever car was checked. same night but japspec cruise coppers blocked off the exit of the carpark but this time didn't check all the cars only an odd few. other then those times i'v never had problems

No skyline, but about a week after I received a yellow, I was pulled over twice in one night, a Thursday night, in the space of ten minutes! Wasn't doing anything terrible, just driving about.

Coming out of Kings Park, I was "Random Lic Checked & RBT'd" on the main road, then drove down towards Ent Cent carpark and right onto Wellington and pulled over again for "RBT" and yellow sticker check - which teh first cops didn't bother to do. So I dobbed. HA!

-Lozzle

Random pullovers: Two, both in fremantle, one when the day after I picked the car up, and the other just last year.

Scarbs, Freo are hotspots, and I wouldn't go near them if I wanted to most of the time. It's like playing russian roullette(sp?) with the yellow-adhesive-love :)

I'm all for not making eye contact with the police, stuff like that can make them do a U-turn :D

I got done twice in the last two weeks, in freo and on canning highway exiting to perth, both resulted in the cops pulling out their compliance books before even asking if I had permits, which I did.

Wankers...

Hmmmmm...

I went through a bad patch for about 3 months where I was constantly getting pulled over in differnt suburbs. It annoyed me to the point where I would keep my yellow lickies on right up until it expired the next day, just so cops wouldnt continualy go through my car.

I got pulled up on the fwy one night (not speeding) the cop gets off his bike checks my license, then goes over to my yellow & checks the date on it, looks @ me & says "Was just checking it hadn't expired"... ??!!

Had another cop pull me over, pulled up next to me in a car park, doesnt even get outta the car, shines the torch on my windscreen from the inside & just says "oh, you already have one"

Dont take my car out much on w/e's & @ nite now...

hahaha lol.gif

that's true lazy pig style

only ever been pulled up in freo for having my driving lights on. Other than that, was pulled up last month only to have the cop tell me my car was STOLEN! When i got out the car, turns out it was my best mate's cousin who pulled me over and was just givin me shit. hahaha :D

hahaha that's hell harsh! it'd be funny from the cop's p.o.v anyway! but i'd be whacked!

got checked for me license once coming home from uni at like, 2am... other than that, rbts only thus far *also touches wood*

made some point beofre about keeping your car stock from the outside, beefed on the inside, i guess this thread reinforces it somewhat :)

i had a cop scream at me i was a hoon repeatedly when i was pulled over :D "Going to drive like a hoon you'll get treated like a hoon" ..... then he got in his car n drove off and im like "what tha?"

Oh well about to Rice the car up a bit so i'll see what happens .... at the moment im pretty much left alone by the cops yellow stickie wise - i think they are more shocked by my driving than the car :)

i get pulled over all the time, i got pulled over every day for 5 days straight and resulted in a yellow by the end of it....

mandurah is the worst for cops and them targeting us :)

aggreed

they pulled me over 5 times in 1 night once

this new guy in town with a black 33 gtr is sueing the cops for harrasment

Mandurah is the worst for cops.....

first on and only time was last saturday at lunch time on St georges terrace.

cop was at the lights outside sheraton hotel. my works DR site is in the sheraton i was heading over to change the backup tapes.

i was 3 cars back on the lane next to the one the cops where in. lights go green cops pulls into a loading zone, waits for me to park then lights siren zoom up ans screech stop next to me.

resulted in a yellow for tyres, pod stiff suspension. random car check they say.

just a note to everyone.

make sure your v/n number is stamped on your car. mine wasn't couldn't get the yellow off till it was stamped. (the place i bought it from cut corners apparently)

yeah i am gettn pulled over all the time..... like atleast once every 2 weeks..... i have had all hte excuses... like.. did u know u were speeding (when i wasnt and he knew it), to u know u have a broken headlight (which i do nad one day i am gonna say "shiit howd that happen") and RBT, lic check, and everytime they have looked under the bonet nad seen the BOV (the ONLY mod to my car, i know it suks) they havea all said have a nice day sir... bastards..

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
