Here's what happened:

I was driving alone quietly minding my own business and I noticed that I was being followed by a commonwhore for a while now. This all occurred in the morning peak hour on Olympic Drive. Soon enough, the commonwhore turned on its siren. Never having been pulled over before, I had no idea what to do. I merged into another lane to let them through (thinking 'I haven't done anything wrong so I should let them pass'). Once I had merged, they turned the siren off and just drove up and past me ... (there were cars in front of them still, but they didn't merge coz the cops had turned the siren off). Could anyone break down what just happend here? And also, if a cop, undercover or not, turns on their siren from behind you after tailing you for some time, are you supposed to pullover or what (remember again, it was during peak hour).

Thanks all!

If you werent doing anything wrong..

Perhaps they had a call on the radio for an urgent job and some other GD crew had gotten the call and reported that it was nothing urgent, hence it was on and then it was off.?

OR

They were just doing a check on you since you "are a typical hoon driving a performance car" :sleep: and when they drove up to you they looked at you and though oh he looks ok. iono..

Total assumptions above...

You did the right thing to merge and let them pass. You only pull over (stop fully) if you deem it's safe enough to do so.

All part of the game of the dude.

You drive a skyline, you pay high insurance, you get unwanted attention from the police.

99% of us here do the right thing, drive normally and are decent law obiding citizen.

Unfortunately the other 1% who think they're Schuey, like to reverse quick cars into shop frons etc, have permanantly fu*ked it up for the rest of us.

The only way to avoid it is to drive a Citroen

Could of just been a prick with a siren .. Would work well in peak hour..

Its happened to me before car full of 20 yr olds in a 380 with full setup lights all over the thing (i think it was daddys car) hit me with it pulled over n they drove past.. I have to say they had been tailing me and id been playing with them.

If a police officer switches on the lights you are meant to pull over to the left hand side and come to a complete stop, however not many people do this, it was not an offence until recently to not do this.

the other night i was driving with a mate, i was doing around 70/60, it was the street leading up to kk's in mascot so it was dead. copper comes the other way, sees me and does a u-turn,when i saw this i thought i might as well pull over and save them the hassle of turning their lights on.

they kind've freaked out because i had my license ready to give them as they hesitated to come to my window, they kind've stood back a bit, they asked me the usual 'how fast were you going?' line, and i gave back the usual 'i was doing the speed limit' response. breath tested me and off i was.

did they expect me to tell them i was speeding? seriously?

you were supposed to say "hi officer good thing you didn't catch me 5 minutes ago i was doing 160km/h while drifting through a roundabout and trying not to spill my beer while i snorted a line of coke off a prostitute's stomach.. oh by the way my tyres are bald and there are numerous unsafe mods to my car".

good thing I corrected you mate, you'll save everyone embarrassment if you just stick to the script next time :nyaanyaa:

I was at a round-about on a main road and a 4x4 cop was going around. He had right of way so I let him in.

It was a 70 zone and they were doing 40 or less (kept looking in their rear view to see my response).

So i jumped in the right lane, and cruised upto 70 and then jumped back in the left lane. I made sure it didn't seem fast at all.

They didn't like this.. and put on the lights and sirens.

At first I thought they just wanted to get past, so I jumped in the right lane again to let them go, but they did too. So I went back in the left lane, and they did aswell.

There was no-where safe to pull-over, so when I could, I did (it was probably a 1km distance they followed me wight lights and sirens).

Eventually I did, and they just went over the car and asked why my pod filter was a blow off valve (on a non-turbo car) and after i had a giggle they left me alone.

undercover cops dont drive commodores

Do u mean an unmarked police car

lol wat you mean they dont drive commodores, what is the difference between an undercover cop driving a plain commonwhore and an "unmarked" police car. oh wait i get it.... the car and the people inside were in non-police colours.

Undercover cops drive magnas and ware plain clothes , unmarked police cars are commodores driven by police in uniform , if u get pulled over by an undercover cop it means u are a drug dealer as they dont care about traffic rules

Maybe my eyes were mistaking me then when last wednesday lunchtime I was at my local markets and drove past a chick in a commodore doing a massive burnout in a public carpark to then watch 2 plain clothed police pull over in a commodore stationwagon with flashing lights on the dash and get out holding their badges up to the chicks window.

My info is a couple years old they might be in commodores now , but i still thought all the D`s and undercovers cops were in 380/magnas so they are a little bit more stealthy

D`s (detective) dont pull cars over unless they want to speak to the driver as it blows there cover

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
