Cars need to be db tested under certain conditions.

(IE: can't be done if it's raining)

But I agree, they should have to perform some kind of test to justify sending the car to an approved noise tester.

They know that they can be pricks and demand that people go and get their cars tested, and that it will cost the owner money each time to get the test done.

I recently put some extractors on my car, and although the car isn't LOUD, it's louder than it was. Louder than 'stock'.

Now I'm scared about what it's going to sound like when I get a pod filter :D

The majority of police are just out there doing their job.

Driving a car that is a bit 'different' to all the others that are on the road, is unfortunately going to draw more attention than a Commo or a Ford or similar.

I know that if I was a police woman, that I would prefer to pull over the sexy Skyline rather than a beaten up old piece of crap that has every panel a different colour and is held together with sticky-tape and has so much smoke pouring out of it's exhaust that it's responsible for a new hole in the ozone layer every 5 minutes that it's on the road. :D:(:D

The epa test is baically a load of shit just to piss u off, cause they give u a month before u have to bring it in, so any1 with half a brain is gonna test it before than and make sure it is lbelow 90db!

The form says u were spotted, doesnet say time or place or by who by a cop or member of epa and u need to bring car in to be tested! now what crap is that they dont have proof of shit but u gotta waste your time to go where they want at a specific time.

Dont we pay enough on rego and road tax's they gott *** with us more!

see the news this morning more than 50 police under investigation in victoria for offences ranging from rape to drugs to child pornography... I'd say good old Miss Nixon ain't too popular.. Seems no one is above the law. What bugs me is cars are beign stolen while they are hassling law abiding citizens and acting like Nazis..

long and short is milky they can pick on us be real c..., hassle us make life diffucult just b/c we work oru buns off to own a nice car, and then do whatever they like inc speeding, raping innocent women, taking bribes, using drugs and doing nasty things on the internet... capische????

thye are some very nice police men and women around last time I was lucky to bet let off... also some on a power trip

Richie i am not surprised a that at all!

There were 5 or so member of the drug squad under investigation a few weeks ago!

I just sent a nice letter to the EPA with a copy of my roadworthy certificate and explaining to them my car was checked and passed 2twice in the space of the same week as the EPA notice was sent so i dont think i shoud have to get it checked a third time!

And when if they write back i will tell them i have already made a formal complaint against the cop that got me, cause i know hes the 1 tha reported me to the epa.

I am gonna fight this till the end!

I rang to speak to the senior sargeant of traffic ops in dandenong this morning. He was on sick leave so I spoke to his 2nd in command. The cop was very pleasant on the phone and I spoke to him for about 15mins.

He agreed with me saying that the officers that pulled me over should not have acted in such a hostile way and is probably due to the long sh*tty hours they are doing for Operation Armageddon! Basically 13 police cars are patrolling/doing random roadworthy checks from 9pm-4am 3 nights per week. Usually thursday friday and eithere tuesday or wednesday. They are patrolling the main drag of frankston dande and along princess highway to westall road.

The two officers are going to be apparently reprimanded once he hears "their" side of the story. I assume he is going to let me know what the result is as he has my name and number.. If i am not happy then I can take it further to internal affairs etc.

What else can you do.. I told the cop i didnt normally have any trouble with police and to this point they have been nothing but pleasant, and also that i didnt want to make a huge deal of it because my plate will get marked and I will get pulled over left right and centre if these guys see me again!

richie!

I think you should write a letter to the hearld sun, on hehalf of all us skyline driver, about the harrisment we have been getting recently by the cops.

I think dr drift knows sum1 at the hearld sun that will be able to publish it without to many problems.

excellent idea... we need to speak up... it's one thing being tough and checking for mods, but to be so hostile is just not exceptable. Lets sign a petition or write a letter to let people know what we "descent" hard working folks have to put up with.

I'm definitely not the one to cause trouble or hurt a fly, but don't push me ...hahah

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
