hey people, i know eventualy i am going to the dredded yellow sticker but just wondering, as ive never had one and know of no one that has had one, i was wondering do you get a fine as well as having to change the part that needs replacing. eg t-boost controller. They are illegal but do i get a fine as well as having to replace this with the stock t-piece?

It seems like it's up to the cop. Sometimes they will fine you, sometimes you just have to fix it.

From what some people say on the forums, it can be very expensive if they fine you for each item.

I always thought i would try and make my car as legal as possible, but sometimes, cops can be unreasonable.

anyone please, i do need an answer/opinion?

[MANWHORE]

Then again, there are more cops that are fair and reasonable then there are those that are not.

mine is completly stock, the thing is i have a volt guage on top of my steering wheel, turbosmart t boost controller and also a turbo timer, i know you cant have the boost controller, i know that you cant leave the car running if the keys arnt in the car, and i also know the volt guage could be deemed as being obstructing the view of my speedo? Are these likely to get done in a road worthy. I have a r33 so i know they are always pulled over.

Bascially, you are right about the TT and boost controller. They're pretty inconspicuous.

The cops generally just pull skylines and other imports over because they have a bad name. While I don't like it, I don't blame them.

Generally the cops are good if they see that you're just a nice person minding your own business.

There have been experiences of peopel on the forums showing otherwise. e.g. the cops checking all the ligts on the car and if a globe is blown, you get a defect.

That is not fair, considering, you didn't get a chance to rectify it.

i agree with ya 97r33 about them picking on things, my turbo timer is beside my electric mirror thingy (r33gtst) so to remove that would i just be able to remove the turn knob, would that pass, if not connected to anything, the put it back on afterwards???? thats what im really asking, fines? i dont have alot of cash and need to know wether to save up for a fine aswell as upgrades cos im gunna be doing more to the car, its just that i wannna keep money aside for the shit that happens incase i do get pulled over. Its a dailt driver and its driven around 400kms a week, iver had it for around 2 and a bit months and havent been pulled over YET, but when i do, im one of thse people that pay the penelty and get on with it staight away? Im just scared of being pulled over for a RBT and getting done for every little minor thing on my car when i know very well that 1000 other people have the same thing done and dont get done for it.
