Geez you're lucky Dean! :) I haven't had a neighbour complain yet and I always fly around here!! :(

Fingers crossed I've never been pulled over or hassled in the 18 months I've had my car - I'm still paranoid and hate being within a 15 mile radius of cops but what can you do? If they're going to pull you over, there's nothing you can do... I just hope I get a decent cop like that :)

I have been told that mine was too loud, HP pulled me over when I went past them, then they tried to convince me that the stock BOV was aftermarket & they were going to defect me. let me off but not without reving my car on his way past.:(

I make the seat brown when cops are behind me, whether I have or havent been doin somethin wrong.

I think everyone feels the same way about this when cops are near by - we all shit ourself. Who here is cool calm and doesn't give a shit?

GFXMan, as you were sayin before, even though we get shafted for doin stupid shit in industrial area's, it's still illegal.

Even though you're mate was on his fone for 10 seconds, it's still illegal.

miss33, come waste some tread in my area and hear hte god squaders complain.

Yep I hear ya timmy, i get lumpy pants too when I see cops, especially the females ones..

I think its just skylines owners in general that always get pulled over.. it seriously blows.... If i take the ute out instead of the skyline, i dont even get looked at... take the skyline out, alawys come home with some loss of demerit points...

I get the sadz.

Honestly I don't normally care if there are cops around.. if one pulls up next to me i just ingnore them , don't even bother to look.

I have been followed before , also a cop did a u-turn behind me.. never got pulled over, been stopped at numerous breatho's and never questioned about my car.

I may be lucky who knows, but i just go about my general business and have never been hassled.

I have not been pulled over once in my Skyline and hassled.

Now saying that i have been pulled over when I had the VT (GFXMan you will remember that one :rolleyes:).. but i deserved it as I was driving in a "racing fashion" down Anzac HWY.

In over a year of owning the R34, I have only been pulled over once. Just the other day, in the hills, I pulled out on a blind T junction & nearly got cleaned up by a Police Motorbike! He did a u-turn & pulled me over. He let me off with a caution. Hardly even looked at the car! i am always polite & unless i was speeding, usually dont have a problem. touch wood.

Ive noticed the copson bikes thru the hills are ok, ive been flying down Gorge with my mate video taping, then two cops coming to opposite way point at me to slow down.... Phew they didnt chase after me.

Anyway its all on tape, makes for some enjoyable footage.

Haha that was so un fair :) How about the 10 second GTR or the 11second gazelle up front? Always the backmarkers that get done ;)

na the cops are out to get p platers i got followed for bout 15 minutes the other nitght then he pulled me over and fined me 190 dollars for not indicating long enough and took away my last 2 demerit points now car will b of the road for 6 months (they wont catch me next time) :P

na thier definatly are laws for skyline drivers and laws for others how often do u see the ******** wits that drive commodores geting book the sh*t they pill on the roads is out rageousbut the cops dont cain them down as much as they cain us down .

timmmay i was drivin down anzac just the other day and i had a cop just cut me off no indication at all then at the lights a cop on a bike was goin in between cars to get to the front its f**** bull*** that they dont practice wat they prech i heard the other day theres a blitz on around the flerieu peninsular so evry 1 would probably want to avoid there

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
