guys... just wondering...

when do you usually get pulled over by the cops?

when i SAY WHEN..

i mean the time... is it usually during the day? or is it usually during the night?

im just curious and lame hahahahha

i was tihnking.. well cops pull people over more during the night (after 6pm), cause skylines roam during the night more

but then i was thinking, wouldnt cops be at home during the night time?

therefore there should be less cops on the roads?????

newaiis, u can choose to ignore me, i just wanna know the trend when we all usually get pulled over

thanks

david

really depends on where you drive and route you take.

i know people get pulled over all time of the day in east or south of sydney, but I've been driving from seven hills to chatswood for the last 2 years and never got pulled over once.

its called night shift so not all cops would be at home during the night, pretty sure they'd have as many on the road at night then during the day.. most people i know around here get pulled over at night and early in the morning- i always get pulled over for rbt and stuff at about 7am on saturday mornings.. and sometimes when i'm deso at about 2am..

but thats only rbt's i dont get pulled over because of my car cos its a shitta charade lol

coppers swap shifts at 6am and 6pm, i was told.

by the end of their shift you'd think they'd be a bit tired to pull anyone over. after 6am or 6pm (after theyve had their coffee and doughnuts) thats when they'd be more likely to strike.

and just to add: i got pulled over for an 'r'bt today by highway patrol. it was around 4:30pm and it seemed like he had no interest in defecting me.

Not counting rbt I have been pulled over three times in 3.5 years in the Skyline. Once mid arvo near Goulburn and I'm pretty sure he just wanted to have a look at the car cos he'd never seen a 4 door R34 before which was just after I got it and the second was same time when I left the lights with a little too much exuberance, third at night for the same reason. No tickets any time.

Ive been pulled over 12 times and I was just working out then and it has been half half for me.

Luckily all 12 I haven't been in a rush to be somewhere (work,school). But once I did use the excuse I needed to get to school (was like 8:30 and school started at 9:00) and he let me go (this was outside my school's driveway).

I've been pulled over once twice in 2 years of driving a skyline :santa:

Once for a "RBT" and the other cause I drove without a front bar.

Police work just as much at night as they do during the day, just focus their attention to different areas.

Up here they tend not to be in the outer suburbs after about 1am because of the amount of people that end up in the middle of town around that time of night.

You'll also rarely find a police officer on most roads between 3am and 6 am or if it's raining or extreme cold.

I was pulled over once in my skyline.... out at WSID......but I deserved the talking to I got.

but after owning my skyline for 2 years, that's the only tmie I was pulled up

within the first 48 hours of driving my 180 around, I got pulled up 3 times lol.. day and night! But they weren't interested in defecting me, just for the standard RBT line.

Day and night 50 - 50

Although I had another one decide he wanted to "RBT" me the other night till I slipt through a few back roads before he got to me. I wasn't in the mood for "RBT" and just wanted to go and park and get into town with the girl and eat. And yes, I WAS being good!

But yeah, nearly whenever I pass a highway patrol, day or night, they do double takes and 50% of em want to turn around and "RBT" most times someone walks around the car, the other RBTs, one of those times I've been defected, since then, I made everything 100% legal, and had it engineered, car hasn't been modified since.

Also, there is no set time that the shift ends at 6 each night/morning, all of the shifts are varied so as to allow approx same amount of people on the road. There is a fair chunk of paper work at the end of each shift. Neighbour is a cop, and sometimes he goes to work at 3AM, other times 7AM (for day shifts) just depends what they end up on.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
