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..

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
