+ 1 for disagree, i used to get heaps of canaries when i was on my P's, come november i upgraded from gts-t to gtr and haven't seen a cop yet.. used to suck on P's though, some were such mongrels, pulling off my kick panels to have a look at my ecu, pulling my centre console area apart to "look for a electronic boost controller" ._. I'm in N.E burbs, but most of the times i got pulled over was near the city (on the way to work) or in eltham

What if you cant pull off the kick panels and other bits of interior?

I have nothing hidden behind the kickpanel but its screwed down by several screws etc.

I dont have tools on the spot to take apart the car if they ask to remove lol

As far as my understanding goes the officer don't actually need to sight any infringement. All they need is a suspicion that something isn't legal....they fill out and EPA report and its upto the EPA to check the car out. I'd imagine that you are going to be sent to Mcleod if you say that you cannot remove the kick panel.

mate iv got a wide body gtr and it dose stand out like dogs balls, and the only time iv been pulled over is when i just got the car back for the panel shop and didnt have my front number plate bolted on,

i really do belive u drive like a dick and u will bring attention to yourself( not saying u do)

For what it's worth, i have 4 EPA's over the past 3 years. The tip is to stay away from booze buse's....at least thats where i got 3 of mine

Went past a booze bus during the week and the line was full, so the officer waving people in motioned for me to move on. Another cop on the side actually doing the testing saw my car and started pointing at my car and yelling at the other cop for letting me pass despite there being no room in the line for me. Some cops are fine whereas others purposely target skylines for the sake of it. I wasnt approaching the bus fast and my car looks almost stock on the outside (exhaust and rims).

Its cops like the dickhead doing the testing that really piss me off, cause he had no reason why I should be pulled over any other car, except for the fact I was in a skyline. Not on P's either.
