Get a huge sticker for rear window "NON TURBO" but I'd guess that would be like adverting you have no left nut and defeats the purpose of driving an NA line (looks fast, goes slow)...I do like the camera idea

HAHAH thats what i done. i put a sticker no the back saying 'Sorry, It, Non Turbo' and i noticed i dont get pulled over at all anymore .. it work =)

yeh bro i got pulled over, cop pulled me over and basically said im not suppose to be drivin turbo.

i wasnt speeding or anything, and i told him ' its not a turbo mate'

he goes ok.

and i could see him checkin out my car for other problems, then he full on asked me to show him bonnet so i did.

then he did a whole car roadworthy check on car, and slugged me for my front tyres being too slick.

at the time , i was getting new tyres fitted in whtihin 3 days with these new rims, and i eve noffered to show ihm rims which wer in the boot, i told him to plz not giv me a fine or canary, but he goes ' its for your protection' or sum sht and stuck this massive sticker on my car lol ( canary) . so i had to go through whole roadworthy bs at vicroads.

and optop of that, vicroads had a stuff up with my roadworthy which i got a letter saying registration was suspeneded, which i needed to sort out .

absolute waste of time, they didnt need to do that.

but i wasnt gonna complain, who knows , he might've arrested me for trying to explain to him common sense.

with the amount you are getting hassled im thinking maybe your car is known to them from a previous owner.......

I am the old owner lol.. I didn't get picked on anywhere near as much as David is saying he is.

I was only done for speeding once..

The car just attracts lots of attention because it sounds tough and looks mint! Sooo shinnnyyy

ethnic appearance???? lol

in what world would they hassle you for having an ethnic appearance :D

nah but i get hassled a bit by cops,

i was pulled over, and he asked me to show him under bonnet, so i did. and he was satisfied with that, then he started doing a check on my car , and slugged me for my front tire being a bit bald , so he defecteed me :(

but jus dont flogg it hard, when cops are around , put it in 5th and cruise if a cop is nex to you and you shudnt get hassled., even if it is a turboed.

Well, a number of things,

Ive been pulled over because they thought i was of ethnic apperance, when in fact im not tanned and i have light brown hair.

Ive been pulled over and had a mouthing to because of dark window tint whihc is 100% legal.

Ive been followed by under cover cops all the way to my mates houses and turn sirens on when i have stopped and turned the car off.

Ive had them open my door and step on the accelerater trying to prove its a turbo, when its obviously not.

ive been pulled over and had my engine bay searched.

My pod filter makes a good sucking noise, and have been questioned many times over this, but its fully sealed in a box.

But there seems to be nothing i can do to avoid being pulled over except for not driving, has any one else experienced this, or is it because i was born a ginger and have bad luck for life :bomb_ie:

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
