i get RBT at least 3 times a week cause apparently the cops have a notice out on my plates

so when ever they see me they pull me over no matter where i am city, ryde, para, brighton, chatswood, even in my street ive seen em wait for me to leave home if the see me at maccas or a servo they wait for me to leave

they just luv to defect or search me i dunno why its not like im a crim

some times i really think that these cops dont know how much our cars are worth i reckon they think they are worth shit loads so much so that young ppl who are legit cant afford them

its gettin all a bit too stupid IMO

Here we go again, cops are too stupid to know what a car is worth.

I can think of two reasons for your problem. If you say ur not a crim then I believe you. But they are stopping you for a reason.

1. There is a warning on your car that warns police that it's involved in some kind of crime. Or maybe they have caught people driving it that shouldn't be, or maybe they know you like doing burnouts..

2. If that is what ur car looks like, refering to your avator, it's obvious why they are stopping you. No offence, but it looks pretty defective. Is it really that low?

i got rbted twice in one night

i asked the 2nd cop if i could use the tube from the first one, he laughed

i think they dont like taking it for sanitary reasons, i found like 4 under my passenger chair the other day

cops are cool if u speak to them nice, ask them how they are doing etc

g'zz dan take a chill pill,

im sorry where u there when it happened? and i didnt notice?

if a cop wants to pull me over at 7am coz i was driving a skyline (and i know its coz of the car coz he made an illegal uturn to pull me over) then he is a jackass, y dont they do something worth while to help the community rarther than annoy them. i believe that there are some good cops but they are the ones that arnt wasting my time by giving me a rbt at 7am.

so dont be arrogant and judge ppl by what they have expierienced.

back to the topic at hand

I used to get pulled over all the time when i had my kingswood and was on my P's. i had one follow me all the way across town just to pull me over and ping me for missing my rear plate. as soon as i left bathurst they never touched me again, and now i've got a skyline from the sounds of things im skating on thin ice as i haven't been pulled over or even been given a dirty look yet.

Silver GTST, 7.00 am on Sunday morning is a great time for RBT. It's when people are normally on their way home or to work after a night on the piss.

So there you go, they are doing a good job of keeping the streets safe. Think about it, they could be at the police station or parked in the bush somewhere sleeping. But they choose to patrol the streets. Why are we criticising them for this.

I did not get pulled over for five years with my Skyline. Not even for RBT. I now get pulled over for RBT quite often with my S15.

After speaking to them nicely, they tell me that these cars get stolen very often around here (mainly when I drive through or near Bankstown). Sure I could say they are picking on me, or I could say they are doing a good job.

Unfortunately drunk drivers (and thieves) don't believe in advertising. Thats why its called 'Random' Breath testing.

I saw 20 people get done during RBTs between 5.30am & 9am at one spot!!! Yup, it was Sunday morning... People forget, alcohol can stay in your body for MANY hours... if you hit it really hard on Saturday night you'll still have a reading on Sunday. Unfortunately forgetting you had a drink the night before is not an acceptable excuse.

have u seen roads at 7am sunday?

not alot of rbt's to do.

unless they wanna rbt my grandmother on the way to church.

But they got you didn't they. Ha ha.

Not your grandma..

Maybe it was a quiet area you were in cos I see many cars on the road at that time of Sunday morning. Esp in Sydney..

But that would explain their illegal u-turn to catch up with you. You were the only car available to stop.

yea my car was that low but it was just on the limit and i dont get done for being too low

my car has a warning on it because i used to cop sh*t loads of defects most of which were bullsh*t

cops have addmitted to me that they dont know everything and that they defect just if things dont look right

i got defected for standard features on my car as well

you cant say all cops are smart and know wat they are doin cause there are many of em who dont but then there are some who really know wat they are on about

there are many who abuse their power

my car is NA ok, there is a hose where the return off the wategate on the GTS-t models goes which is blocked off, because i obviously dont have a watsegate and i got defected for it

also for having my tyre placard in the glove box (may not be where nissan originally had it but i resprayed the car and chose to move it but at least i still had one)

also got done for the factory battery clamp he said it didnt hold strong enough

I was pulled over once for RBT (it was saturday night, and I almost did a 180 burnout :burnout: ). They came up and asked if I had any grog (which I said no). And while the RBT thingie was processing I tried to be nice and asked "Sow, how's your day been tonight?". They all laughed and asked if I would like to retract my previous statement. :)

I've only been rbt'ed once with the 'line. And I had a defect inspection done while I was driving around my shitty pulsar a year back... Not too much bad luck with the cops.

if a cop wants to pull me over at 7am coz i was driving a skyline (and i know its coz of the car coz he made an illegal uturn to pull me over) then he is a jackass

err whats up with 7am? ever thought that maybe its because theres a chance u might have been drinkin the night before and still have alcohol in your bloodstream? its very possible for that to happen...

    • Well, I can recommend the partial AV system translation CD I ordered from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. Whilst it didn't address the date issue, it has conveniently translated on-screen menu items into English, and now allows the GPS-received time to be offset in hours rather than minutes, so I can display Eastern Australian time accurately ( and bump it by another hour when daylight savings starts ).
    • Yuh, if it's 45°C outside, my car is driving in it.
    • I'd be curious to hear more. Otherwise, have you driven a modern x-trail? I wonder how it compares. Here in Australia they are/were popular for rentals and fleet vehicles. I have been in some and my impression was they are bad. But, this may have been very different in the 2000s at a good trim level. Twenty years is plenty of time to make the model worse. I do very much agree with the 2 silver cars in the garage approach. But, not driving because it's too hot would not leave a lot of time in the year for many Australians. I don't think you need to worry too much unless the car has actual issues with overheating. 
    • Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
    • Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that.
