Thats Bullshit! Both times (last Thursday and Friday) I got pulled over I was doing nothing wrong. On Friday when I got DEFECTED I was doing 65km in a 70km zone. Cop was looking down radar and as soon as I drove past he droped the radar and chased me for what? Driving a GTR? I think so! even the ppl @ VicRoads today were sorry for me. Fair enough if I was doing stupid shit like speeding or what not.  

Rang the cop station also and told of my story and to get some advice, even the copper said bad luck but what do you expect driving a skyline...? They are out to get you.

Then take it to the state ombudsman and lodge a formal complaint.

T78:

This ain't my thread... but no.

I also spoke another TMU officer from another station yesterday and I was given alot of usful information. Most interesting was the steering wheel - no one I called could give me a 100% right answer. I was told to ring the Policy & Education / Study line (where the TMU cops learn) I should get a proper ruling. I'm quietly confident that my wheel should be OK since my car was not fitted standard with an airbag. I would take my aftermarket anyday over the standard R32 wheel (that is one ugly and not so safe wheel)

Today I'm geting info from EPA about FMIC/PODS.

Info from Police about steering wheel.

Booking my DB. test at Daalders

Best price tyres I have found so far (z-rated) Falken $260each Nakanag $200each Hankook $245

Linda: Get rid of the BOV & boost controller and KEEP THE CAR. anyone who is 18 and owns a skyline is BLOODY lucky if you ask me - I don't care how they got it!

P-platers / young drivers will always be targets, unfortunately statistics don't lie - younger drivers are more likely to do stupid things or make mistakes on the road. Plus the govt got to make money somehow.

Be rsponsible on the road and you really shouldn't cop much grief - if you do get pulled over its more than likely because of A. The Car and B. The P-Plate, remain calm, be polite and you may be surprised, some of the police out there are actually human :D

Don't let the system get you down, work with it!

My post from another thread, Im double dipping :)

I havent been hassled by the police for months but for the 1st half of last year I got 'randomly' pulled over once a month!

Most of them were cool to talk to - no defects, didnt ask to look under the bonnet except once cause he thought he heard a atmo bov noise [long story]. They only did RBT's and talked a bit about cars in general. I am not a P plater, I don't have a ricey lookin car, I don't drive like a dick on the roads and I am polite to police and only respond if I can say something that won't incriminate myself not that I have done anything wrong :)

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
