This is the main reason why i dont go out between Thursday to Sundays around the coast, to many cops even if you are doing nothing wrong and your car is not defectable you still get hassled.

But on the other hand there are alot of idiots who attract the cops and give us a bad name.

Save it for the track.

this is part of the reason why i am trying to keep my car looking stock. the only things i could get defected for is cutting the front reo to fit the cooler in, and the exhaust noise.

but the thing is that they book people in performance cars for having illegal mods. they should be pulling over old cars to make sure that the brakes work, the lights work, that they aren't leaking oil quicker than they use fuel, there isn't rust all through it so as soon as it hits a bump half the suspension falls out.

and on the note of being booked in standard cars, there is a cop in town that loves booking people for the stupidest things. a guy in a brand new patrol ute got booked because his number plate wasn't visible from 45 degrees looking from the top. it was in the factory position, with the factory tray.

mad082... if ur referin to the cop 'M LITTLE' then i know what your perfectly talking about in terms of him booking people not no reason. he clearly has no idea what he is talking about nor has an idea about any modification requirements allowed.

God I hope that isn't why Nicky sms'ed me :happy: Cause I wasn't out

And if your interested the cars that attended the dyno day I left early after a good feeding frenzy, a supra, 5ILLE, KFR34, Silver GTR and engine, his Sweet 4dr33 & engine, and her R33gtst and engine, a killerV8 & its Turbo and a RebelV8. Sky line

this is up in gympie <hides head in shame>. but the problem is that he knows EXACTLY what is legal and what's not. my old boss got booked for having the towbar on his gt forrester because it slightly blocked the numberplate.... if you were trying to look at it from dead horizontal.

the cop is very polite in how he does it. he doesn't act like a prick in how he talks to you, like some cops. but apparently he has to move town every few years since he pisses so many people off. he is the sort of cop that would pull over other cops... or his own mother.

yep, very much like this cop. except this cop didnt know what he was talking about. he gave me a fine for not having a modification plate. clearly i dont require a modification plate for any of the mods i have done and he was happy to mention that he goes through the courts atleast 3 times a week cause people fight the fines he hands out. well, clearly this should state something to him.

Mr KAOS always causing KAOS ha ha unlucky mate....

but shit love the new combo hooks up real good.... can't wait to see the batles on @ jambo 32's everywhere...

GO 8 SEC GTR's & GTST's you know u can do it........

umm yeah thats gotta be the hottest GTST around too.... guess the boys in blue were just doing there job

IDEA- we need a KRISPY KREME in brissy that outta get half the cops off the street :P;):huh:

autobarn dyno day? which autobarn has a dyno?

The autobarn at slacks creek held a dyno shootout comp day, not very well advertised, only instore and on a couple of other places.

I drove down the coast on the weekend... drove down sat nite, went to BWCP, drove back. Went back down Sunday, went down the spit, back up etc. Not a problem. We saw them pulling a few cars over tho. Bit bloody dangerous the way they were doing it if you ask me!

I had one cop kinda follow me just round a few back streets round my house. But hey, he forgot to indicate, I didnt do anything wrong so that would have learnt him!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
