Yeah the Female police officer let me go, and just told me to go straight home, which was where i was going anyway.

Nah i won't report it. Cop was probably having a bad night, judging by the amount of people there. There were literally i reckon about a thousand people just hanging around Princess Highway. And driving an R34 down there would be just asking for trouble i guess.

ah that was nice of her to let you go - but doesnt really make up for the other cop to start accusing you and stuff.

Edit - *wonders what our good friend from the wasteland would do in this situation*

exactly which part of princes hwy does this street racing take place on? -> this way i can avoid those lunatics and make sure that my passengers and I (and my car) are all in one piece.

We sometimes take pricess hwy down heading to and from the city - hardly see any street racing on the nights we go out (usually fridays or saturdays)

The whole bloody thing.

From Chapel St to Dandenong.

Last night lying here in bed, i would have hear at least 20 green light grand prix's from 1am-2am, and it goes on all night.

YOu can pick the, Honda's, V8's, Supras, Skylines, Silvias... etc. After a while it becomes easy to workout what type of car, or at least motor

But im used to it and just fall asleep :(

They meet at one of my workplaces carparks.

I only recently started working friday nights at the venue and there's always 10 to 20 car's in the carpark with people standing around when I finish at midnight.

But last night after work there was about 50 cars, so I left before any trouble started.

But on the way i saw a pizza shop that was still open..

Anyway long story short I had to go back past my work where the u turn is so i could start heading home again...

There was litterally 100's of cars in the parking lot. It was chocablock, and it's a massive carpark (I prefer not to disclose the location unless asked)

I couldnt believe it cars and people everywhere, it's becomming a pain in the ass just to leave work without worring about being pulled over.

the cops these days are young punks.

I got pulled over at the end of the Eastern just as I hit Springvale Road. I sat on 100ks the whole way.

The cop was on Springvale Rd when he saw a GTR sitting at the lights waiting to get off the freeway.

The cop went psycho at me, told me he had reports from drivers along the road that I was doing at least 200ks and weaving around traffic.

I told him that is absolute bullshit, handed him my license and told him to check my history, no speeding fines.

5 minutes later he sent me on my way. What a knob !!!

not all cops are bad, i got pulled over last night behind in the docklands, (under the bridge area at the bottom of docllands drv), cop jumped out of the car ask if it was mine, quick licnese check, done a RBT and told me to have a good night, nothing more, and once we took of he lined me up at the lights and told me to be careful of all the potholes so i dont get any damage to my car, there couldnt have been a better copper :D

Ye same. Last nite was pulled over for the first time on Canterbury Road near middleborough for breatho and licence check. Asked me to run thru my details: address DOB etc etc checked i had p plates on n that was it, on my merry way. He was polite and he didnt even look at the car at all, mustve been one of the very few officers i hear about who dont hate skylines...

good to hear some good feed back, couple family members are in the force and they have no issues with people driving cars like us or highly modified ones, they have no right to treat people like that though, these news laws give them more power for the better, but only if they use it fairly.

Should only talk like that if they catch you in the act etc.

the bikes are worse tho :cheers: some of them must be hitting at least mach 3 as they pass our place

i went to pick up my brother and a few mates from chapel one night. While waiting for them at chapel st a police officer drives past and stops infront of my car and asked "who's car is it", everyone around me scatter's the wrx 10 metres away take's off, i told him it was mine, he replies "nice colour" and starts asking me question's about it, "what i have done to it" this that, one of the coolest cops i have ever met.

lol. he might have said that so you could tell him about your illegal mods. Then bust your ass.

Last Wednesday morning, I was pulled over by an undercover cop....he asked if the car was mine, done a breath test and licence check and once everything was cleared told me to have a great day :D Although, I do think females have it a lot easier than males....In the past 3 1/2 years I've had my licence, I've been pulled over twice....and gone through the booze bus once....

On Friday night on my way up to Rye there was a booze bus....two P platers in front of me (male drivers), so I was definitely expecting them to put me through...Instead, they let me pass.... :cheers: I believe if I was a male, they would've put me through for sure.....

Could not believe it on New years eve when just coincidently following a white R34 in my R32, we come round a corner in St Kilda and the cop on the Mobile RBT let us both pass by with no one in the gates then pulled in the Holden behind me !!

Thought we would be both picked for sure, although I had nothing to drink.

skyline owners have an image as being 'street racers' but in reality its not like that, if you compare the type of ppl in general on here compared to ns.com and see the different attitudes towards the police you will see why more silvias are coping defects wk after wk , were i'd like to the skylines arnt being targeted as badly

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
