No particular reason for posting this, just sharing my last week as it had its ups and downs.

Started off with Monday, but I will begin the story with Thursday, and link Monday back into it.

Had basketball out at Carina on Thursday night, and on my way back through the Gabba, noticed a cop behind me, in the lane next to me. He was speeding up the road, but as soon as he saw my car, slowed down and pulled behind me, so I knew I was getting pulled over. Lights come on, and we pull over in the Dan Murphy's car park. Only one cop, gets out with the brethyliser (spelling?) ready. Makes no attempt to use it though, instead does a lap around the car. Notices that I don't have a front number plate and quizes me about it.

Now the front number plate missing is the Monday story. I had posted earlier that a van had hit my car, and all this other bullshit about the insurance agency. Finally got the car fixed about a month ago (big thanks to Tuf33 on here. Great work and fantastic price), and on Monday, as my girlfriend was reversing out to go to work, she managed to somehow revers the car straight into the front of my new bumper, cracking it and ripping the number plate off. So I have had three front bumpers in the space of 6 months, with the current one managing to stay whole only for 4 weeks. Now it's got a nice big crack down the front right hand side of it, and no front number plate.

So i tell him that story, and then he asks why there is no rego sticker on my car. Told him it had fallen off about a month earlier, and as the rego was due for renewal in about three weeks, didn't bother getting another one. Car was registered. Pulls out his book and tells me that the fine for no number plate is $200, and for the missing rego, $60, and asks for my licence.

Silently wishing testicular cancer upon him, I give him my licence. He has a look at it, reads my name, and asks "Are you Yugo by any chance?" meaning if I am Yugoslavian. I answer "Yup", to which he replies "So am I. Don't worry about it." and hands me my licence back. Had a quick chat to him about life back in the mother country, all the while silently taking back my curses, and wishing him a strong sex drive long into his ageing life. Told me to get those things fixed and off he went, so god bless Yugoslavian police men and women, you are the salt of the land. Good people.

And then on friday, not much of a story, managed to run a yellow, which turned into a red and got flashed by a camera. My first ticket in the skyline in the year and a half that i have owned it. Bummer.

Anyways, just thought i would share that with you.

good story.. quite a good read..

very lucky mate..

just a question about redlight cameras.. whats the fine and point deduction and also.. is it tkes a picture when u enter when red or when u leave the square when red..

When you cross the start of the intersection after its gone red, you can half way across when it turns red if you want.

haha, the first week i got my skyline back in 05 and the 3rd week i'd been in melbourne a mate and i decided to go and have some fun in the wet.. unfortunently the area we picked just happened to have a police station on the first corner we flew around.. about 3 corners up we pulled over to pick up my mate who was over some chics house trying to make a low profile exit when all of a sudden a police car speeds up the street and stops behind mine, lights flashing..

the two got out, one was a sergent the other had no stripes, the sergent went around my car, got me to pop the hood and instantly pointed out the BOV, intercooler and pod fitler, stating straight away that they were illigal modifcations and the exhaust was too loud.. he started writing me a canary for all of these offences whilst the other officer checked the legitimacy of my licence and wrote me out the victorian equivilent of "creating smoke and noise" whilst my mate who had just made a quick exit from the house stood there shaking his head in shame as the chic's family had all come out the front to watch.. lol

anyway after like 15 minutes of him writing, he checked my licence and goes "oh.. you're from queensland mate" to which i replied "aha yeah" thinking he was going to f**k me even harder, but he replied "wow, i was born and raised in sandagate, i was school captain at sandgate high", and i laughed and said yeah i went there too, then said i was down here with the army.. he then went something like "oh well, all checks out mate, take it easy and drive safe, make sure you get those mods fixed up. have a nice night" then winked at the family and they jumped in there car and sped off, wheels spinning lol

good times, gotta love victorian police, so much cooler than there queensland counterparts :google:

sorry if i hijacked your thread :P

haha nice, Cops allways treat you better in uniform. i got pulled up leaving base in brissy last year for an RBT i wasn't drunk but i would have been over the .00 limit all the guys in the car were pissed but we were all in uniform, the coppa put the unit in the car winked at me then said have a great day mate...

a mate of mine with a reaal nice R32 got pulled over by the same coppa he pulled out of a fight in Timor a few years back, the coppa ripped up a whole bunch of fines and then proceded to talk to him for all most 40mins haha.

^^^^^

See, what did I tell you guys.

Yugos, salt of the earth. Good people

:)

Ps. Can anybody recommend a nice R33, series 2 front spoiler, and where to get it from? Got a gtr one at the moment, but thinking of putting something else on.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
