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 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 .

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
