A few weeks ago i was in the city with 2 mates. I was pulling a U turn down a side street and kicked the back out.. (minor burnout - mininal smoke), when out of nowhere came 2 under cover cop cars. I pulled over straight away and they came up to the window and said 'how stupid do you feel?' they told me to get out and told my mates to sit in the car.

The officer proceded to ask me what mods i had to the car. I said, umm just the pod filter. She replied 'what about your blow off valve??' at this point i thought ok.. she aint to stupid then. She told me not to move and she went around the whole car and asked if i had declaired the mods with the RTA and she looked at my rego sticker and she said that i hadnt?? i dunno how she knew that??!

but then she said cause it was an unregistered vehicle then it would be impounded for 3 months.. i went to court to fight the burnout charge and got off with just a $200 fine and nothing else.. but now the cops are tellin me that i cant get the car back unless i get a letter from the magistrate stating that i can get my car back before the probationary 3 month period is up.. so im left carless...

anyone else had this problem?

Ps they got me for ..

carless and careless mate I have no sympathy really.... it was stupid what you did I do this shit too sometimes dude in the right circumstances and quiet areas but if I was caught I would accept and move on till that day I get her back.

If I had my car done for that I would tell them to chat to the workshop when it was imported and passed and then the RTA because I had a random pit inspection when I was regoing it and it was passed to be road worthy... f**kn cops sometimes mate. BUT there are good cops who I love and respect. as for the dilemma mate take it on the chin cant f**k the the system too much

she said that the dvd player was illegal.. even tho it doesnt play dvd's when the car is on..

also i am coping everything that has been thrown my way. i admitted what i did was stupid and thats y they have taken my car away.

the car is registered but because i had the mods the cop told me by looking at my rego sticker that i hadnt declaired them with the rta then it was unregistered? so i assume that when u mod your car u get a new rego sticker? is this right?

and even ppl replied and just said that they do burnouts.. so everyone who has a skyline who does do burnouts and get away with them is just lucky. if u do one and are unlucky and get caught like i did then u cop what i am coping. it will be a matter of time before other ppl get caught in an unlucky situation and have their car taken too..

Burnouts in the city...not a smart idea. You get what you deserve. Sux you got caught though.

In regards to that rego sticker thing...I've never heard anything about any difference in rego stickers in regards to normal mods. Sounds like the cops made it up.

Your car is no unregistered just the fact that the mods arent engineered meaning they are illegal. When you engineer your mods it ads a bit of text (cant remember exactly what) onto your rego label which is what she would of been looking for.

To be perfectly honest I do some stupid things (burnouts, drifting) on the street too, but come on dude there's a time and place! Even if you walk through the city you see the insane amount of cops absolutely everywhere pulling over Uleh in his Pulsar with his 20 inch chromies and 9 inch cannon dragging along the road. They're absolutely everywhere. City is the one place I would definitely not go drifting/do burnouts. There are some cool corners though...

first of all he isnt asking for sympathy or people telling him how stupid he is he knows he did something silly so get over yourselve's....

if the police said get a letter from the magistrate to get it out early, then do that its not hard... also i thought u got a warning then 2nd time its impounded?..

The only illegal thing about DVD players is if they are playing DVDs while the car is in motion. This is normally fixed by attaching a cable to the handbrake.

There's very few laws against TVs these days, that's why every new car has them in the headrests, footwells, sidewalls of the tyres etc...

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
