i thought i'd share my second experience with the cops...

Was driving out to jimmy rowes (as you do on thursdays) and going down bulla rd. cop car was in right lane and me (p plates and carload of blokes) in the left lane.

then they changed into the middle, and then into my lane. quite obviously they were intending to pull me over. i wasn't speeding so i had nothing to worry bout really as far as i was concerned...

They flashed and i puled over. If anyone has read the latest issue of 'speed' magazine, the cop who sent a letter in said if its 2 cops in the car then its a partol car not a traffic car and they do checks and stuff. Two of them got out and one checked my liscence and asked some questions. the other asked me top pop the hood, and stood there looking at my engine. i suspect he was looking for obvious things, but seeing as i have stock airbox (hi flow filter) and stock bov etc. he didn't say anything else and closed the bonnet. then he walked around the car and checked the tyres i suspect to see the guard clearance but also the tread level.

ha ha my car is completely roadworthy and legal so up their arse. they took my liscence back to their car and did a check and after 5 mins let me go.

This was a pleasing experience as i really got no hassles and they were nice enough. i was not a smart ass and they were not smart back either.

moral of the story (if there even is one): not all cops are bad

Waz.

yeah that's a good point. i'm sure if i had a pod or something and they fined/defected me then i would be sitting on the other side of the fence...

i was wondering if when he looked under the bonnet if he was checking if it was a GTR or not, or if he was looking for illegal stuff. cox he looked like he didn't know what he was really looking at. plus he didn't tough anything just stood there.

well the fact that they pulled me over when i hardly ever speed or anything is a bit annoying. but at the end of the day if they are being told to randomly pull cars over and check licenses then they are just doing their job like everyone else.

it was just pleasing with their attitutde etc. thumbs up if they treat all drivers like this

but we don't know that if i didn't have a p plate, or that if i was driving a commonwhore with p's, then would they have still pulled me over, or would they have not?

this we will never know...

what do u think?

either way if we give them attitude and treat them like sh1t then they will return the favour...

import car, p plate, full of teens... If I was a cop I'd pull it over and search the boot for weed. Guranteed to find some.

Good on the cops, they're just doin their job. Lets say your car got stolen and he was driving it... If they hadn't looked at his car, checked his license, then you'd never have found your car. Stop whinging. If you can't maintain a roadworthy car its your own bloody fault.

Its all part of the modifying game. If you want the thrill of the speed, then you gotta face the thrill of being dixed.

In highschool when you wagged classes, you ran a risk of detention if you got busted. When you got caught did you go "aw f**king teachers have no right to give me detention". Same principle just 20 odd years later in your life. As a matter of fact I got a thrill out of avoiding getting caught, but when I did I tried to deny at first, but deep down inside I knew I was gettin it for what I did.

no way i have to disagree with u there ... to pull someone over just because they drive a particular car is not right ... its like racism ... prejudice (spelling) .. or whatever u call it ... and if they think the cars stolen well.. thats why they have their computers in the car for ...

How do you what other cars they pulled over that night? did you speak to all of them?

You also have a computer in your car (alarm system) does it ensure that your car dosen't get stolen? Sometimes computers aren't the solution to everything.

i mean the computers in the cops cars where they check the rego etc ... LOL ... so they don't have to pull u over to know if its stolen ...

all i'm saying is that if u get pulled over for hooning around .. speeding etc .. then fine ... no probs here .. but he wasn't doing anything wrong ... and they just pulled him over .. now i think thats not fair ... what are u going to think when he gets pulled over everyweek as i know of some people who get pulled over that often for no reason ...

i had a cop pull me over on tue arvo when i was in vic just across the border

now i live in nsw and this vic cop pulls me over

he comes upto my window, gives me a bretho.. thats ok

then he sed my car was reported as being driven "erratically"

he then procceded to ask where i live and what street comes off that... "we have a member of the force that lives in that street"

walks back to his car, chats to his mate for 10 secs, comes back.

he then throws my licence at me and told me to stop driving like a dickhead. he then runs back to his car while i try to say something to him. i was going to get his badge number etc but i thought it wasnt worth it considering they do nothing to their own kind at all anyway

What a Cnut!

now i dont drive my car erratically at all in suburban areas at all.

also there is another car like mine wif p plates.

all cops arent all good... its the 2pc of them that r absolute wankers

Jimmy rowes ;)

i was actually NEARLY gonna go Thurs night :)

and they ones that patrol that strip are mongrels.

I've had a number of 'incidents' with those guys.

They are from the TMU in Broady (that's how well i know them)

And they DO single you out.

Me not so much, but i see lots of imports pulled over.

But surprise, i didn't get hassled the other day actually. Went right past the patrol cat, 99.9% of the time they do what they did to you... pull in behind you... check the rego, and then STILL pull you over.

It's a text book thing i think.

my bf gets pull over when he still have the sticker and gt-wing

the cop check his car thoroughly...but my bf was nice 2 him so he was nice back...asking my bf where he was heading to and he was going to work....the cop advice him to take the stickers off also the gt-wing to catch less attention and the ratio of pullover chances would decrease...so he did and now more comfy driving it ...this would be the 2nd positive cop story...;)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
