I turned left onto logan rd the other nite coming from carindale way .. fri nite i think it was, and there were a whole bunch of police standing in the middle of the road with hand held lasers and pulling over every modified/import car they could

there was a skyline, gtir and a 180 there i think..

soon as they saw me turning they went crazy, ran out into my lane and pointed to me like i was some kind of murderous criminal.

and for all that, they got angry at me for having front blinkers that were too red and they blink too fast

other than that they were pretty nice,

but common, is that all police do these days?

having xr6t undercover police cars is bloody stupid,

what happens if some unsuspecting teenager in his daddy bought 500hp GTR rolls up next to the ute, so the police floor it for a second to see if he will bite.. then the GTR floors it and by the time the ute has backed off the GTR is already ages away going 200, then he crashes and kills himself on the bend..

U tell me whos fault that is and weather or not the police are 'saving lives'

Thats clearly the dads fault for not putting in better suspension!!! On a serious note...It used to always amuse me to see these's threads when I lived in noosa and rarely got pulled over. Now i live at the goldcoast and the whole "RBT" pull over crap is kinda wearing thin. Maybe they should start pulling over things like old xf's and the like that are held togehter with a slight amount of bog, cause I for 1 have never seen one of those pulled up with me. Im sure that most skylines are professionaly modified and hence are probably safer than most other cars on the road.

Still, I know that this is very, very unlikely to change and so I guess we'll just have to deal with it....that and contest all the fines we can to get our moneys worth of the legal system. :P

It's a policing policy culture, around Australia. $$$$$$ and more $$$$$ don't worry about anything else. As I write this i know it's a fact that 50% of the total conglomerated policing hrs are designated to traffic duties in QLD, So if you feels you are being a little hard done by, you are damn well right, Also the current trends for real policing is that minor crime are being brush of as civil case and then they have the right to refuse any police involvement.

Logan rd (near the bridge) seems to be a popular defect station spot, i have seen them setup there a few time. Dunno why as its easy to avoid that area.

i have never been rbt'ed since i moved to qld 14 months ago.. I could drink drive every night and get away with it (not that I would), in fact i think half of QLD does. Saw a dude today driving along with a stubby in his hand (this is actually true)

Yep, remember always be in the right lane on the stones corner roudabout so you can keep going around if you spot them up under the railway bridge :(

They are quite commonly outside Photo Continental heading south on Logan Road at Mount Gravatt or outside Garden City Shopping Centre heading south on Logan Road. I saw them in BOTH spots on Thursday night. Lucky I was in mum's barina.. They never suspected I drove an import.

I feel so left out :rofl:

I can drive any vehicle, anywhere, in any way I choose and never get pulled over.

Well, except for speeding. Sucks to 119 in 100 zone, I coulda farted near the accelerator and sped up that much.

Anyway, even the VL just makes the cops have a snoop out the car window, then go back to ordering donuts.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
