Hi Guys,

Just a quick post that this weekend the cops are having a giant blitz on anything with wheels along pittwater road on the Beaches.

Last Night I saw more than 40 highway patrol cars (2 of which pulled me over within 500M of each other) along a 2km stretch.

They were everywhere and pulling everybody over, i was lucky to get home alive!!

Both cops that pulled me over were reasonably nice, the 2nd being a young lady who was very nice but the first guy was a bit of a tool, telling me that i can remove my guages on my own, or with a defect.

So anybody driving 'round the beaches tonight - be VERY careful!! I have never seen anything like it before!!

yeah BY BY said the exact same thing

the thing which pisses me off is that i have a ****box car but it has a 4inch muffler and is VERY loud. i dont even want to spend money taking the damn muffler off...im cheap

but still i would prefer to spend the $50 or so taking it off then getting 2points taken off, from my Ps, and getting a $200-$300 fine. knowing my luck ill get a fine on the way to the exhaust specialist.

I've never had a problem with female cops, especially the young ones. Was nearly gunna ask one out one night :D

I couldn't imagine that many cops, round town on saturday nights up here is usually pretty good cause all the cops focus on the M1 (highway between brisbane and goldcoast) and the Gold Coast.

But why do they need to spend $40,000 + on a highway patrol car (SS or XR8) to sit on the side of the road pulling people over ? Oh that's right, they're out to try and pay for em :uh-huh:

Damn Sydney cops are crazy!, we never get hassles here in Adelaide, lucky to see a 1-2 cops on a friday or sat night cruise.

Sometimes they do setup a defect station or 2 , plus a few radar guns ,but nothing more than that.

Remind me to never drive my Skyline to Sydney, actually saying that they probably wouldnt bother me as to much paperwork for an interstate car :D

Not good at all, hope things quieten down for you guys soon.

Crazy stuff.

Jimbo: Pranks gauges are same setup as yours by the sounds of it.

The cops on the beaches were nothing short of insane... i have never encountered so many police. We were again informed that 80 police cars are working the beaches this weekend... every corner, every side street and carpark i passed there were more flashing lights... and thats no exageration. Luckily myself and R33deviat got away without being caught however one of my friends who was crusing with us got done... the result was 2 defect sheets and a 45 min long shouting match between the cop and the driver.

Bring on the quiet exhausts!

Man this new law has just gone to the cops and rta's head!!!! :rolleyes:

Get this for a fun weekend now the new laws have come in!!!

Fri morn get woken at a very unreasonable hour of the morning (10:30am) after a HUGE night at greenwood. No one home so get out of bed to answer the door in just a pair of boxers. Guess who was standing there................ no takers??????? An RTA inspector ffs!!!!!! As soon as i saw him i felt like doing this....:shake: but being half asleep i decided against it. Neways he asked me am i so and so and do i drive a R33 Skyline rego no. yada yada yada. I say yeah why????? Apparently i had been "randomly selected" *cough* B.S. *cough* for a full inspection of my veichle!! Agreeing to this (unhappily) i go get some cloths on and show him to the car. Well 45 mins later after he combed every thing with a fine tooth pick, writing down stuff and ticking and crossing other things on his pad. I was expecting for him to say "defect this defect that" but he just kept his mouth shut and went by his business. He made me start it up and rev it aswell which i did but no enough so a certain venting device "whats that:p " didnt make a sound!!!

So after all this he left and said "we'll be intouch" and that was that!!

All i can say to this is sorry but WANKERS!!!!!

After this i thought well nothing else can happen, HOW WRONG I WAS. Fri night with BY BY and one other Skyline, we were apparently driving "stolen" veichles according to the cops, around the northern beaches! Basically it was a very interesting night to say the least, there is nothing more terrorfying than seeing more than 40 highway patrol cars in one night.

Neither BY BY or myself were defected LUCKILY, although Matt wasn't so lucky.

So it was a very fun fri for me!!!

I am not a lawyer or anything but methinks I would have politely refused his request and gone back to sleep.

If they are gooing to carry on like this, let them set up a time mutually agreeable.

JMHO

"after a HUGE night at greenwood"

i go out with heaps of mates to the same area..north seedy leagues, north point, greenwood then blueberries

anyway, a guy came up to our house and said "you have been randomly picked to fill out this survey". My mum had no idea what was happeneing and thought it was compulsary. the RTA came into OUR house and made my mum fill out forms. these forms said "wherer did you drive to today...how many KMs travelled....name and number of place travelled too" This is no bull****. we had to tell them all the cars we had, how many KNs they had driven and where and when we travelled to. anyway my dad gets home and isnt a happy chappy about the situation and he ALWAYS speaks his mind. it was so funny cause he rang the RTA and said "How F#cking dare you F#ckwits comes into our house and invade our F*cking privacy. F%ck you.." this went on for a while. the guy was going to pick up the forms in a few days but after they dad rang up i dont think we'll hear from them in a long time.

ohh yes the RTA does suck penis.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
