few months ago i was driving along the freeway when i notice a HWP in my mirror , after a few kays i see him look down toward his centre console. then i say to the gf, here we go hes running my plates. few k's later puts the sirens on and pulls me over. he says this is a random breath test. i think "yeah, heaps random" he does the test, then asks me to pop the bonnet. then checks for the shiney bits ie BOV etc, and asks do i get pulled over much. i said no never in this car, its stock std mate GTR's come from the factory with front mounts. then he let me go the cop wasnt too bad, was just a prick for pulling me over to try to slap a canary on me. funny thing is my GF in her Suzuki takes that road every day and has never been pulled over. when i saw the cop go back to his car i noticed his driving light was smashed, was gonna ask him was that a defect lol, but thought i better keep quiet considering he didnt gimme too much grief. moral is imports are cop magnets, better off driving a clapped out rust bucket with bald tires

Police have been blitzing our area for the past 4 weeks now Lachlan.

I've been reluctant to take my car out at night whilst they're that intense in

i) pulling over any car (-not driver) that fits a stereotype

ii) having more patrol cars than usual from areas 'other than' PN or BL or SM

iii) visibly patrolling with a raft of unmarked cars

iv) constantly sticking a radar car further back along the On-Ramp at Emu Plains M4

One of my patients from Blackheath struck 4 stake-out HW-Patrol points on the GW-Hwy on her way down to Penrith 2 Thur ago.

*** When I worked in pharmacy, I used to keep 2 packs of URGENT DELIVERY marked items in my glove box whenever I owned a sports-car-police-magnet.

One was ready for trips going west. The other was ready for trips going east. Funny, it helped out 2X.

It's not coincidental I'm sure that it was always at night. Always struck the most intense police at night. Maybe they're vigilant about the 'fresh air' we keep in the gap next to and under the seat.

Haha thats pretty clever man.

lol, you got off.

that was like watching crash investigations, and hearing from the survivors. it ruins the whole show 'cause you know they landed and survived from the beginning. even though they build up some massive story.

We pay big for our cars and mods and registration and insurance and fuel and tax on every single damn thing ive listed there.

We should have the right to drive whenever and wherever we feel like; as long as we arent endangering lives.

end of the day it is just a car that is on the road driving.

it is a strange world we live in

the stigma that a particular car attracts ...........

like at the airport me and the ms (asian) go to the airport i never get stopped for the drug / bomb test but she does for the last 14 or so times..............i have a bit of a record shes clean a a whistle although i walk away scot free .

very differant but still similar

singleing things out due to being differant..................feels like america in the 50's

im so tired

LOL, it was good he turned out to be an ok guy in the end, I reckon they do it for a laugh half the time, and to see if you can keep your cool while being asked personal, irrelevant questions.

The other day I was driving home from work (in peak hour traffic at its best) and I was stopped at traffic lights when I noticed something out of the corner of my eye.......................well it was 2 young cops motioning for me to wind down my window, they proceeded to say

them = "do you mind slowing down please?"

me = "but im not moving"

LOL, I thought these guys HAVE To be joking, whilst I was laughing at my own joke I notice that neither of them were smiling??? not even a little bit????..................WTF, at that point I wound up my wondow and just drove off....................disgusted, ...........get a sense of humor at least!!

Penrith cops seem to go pretty hard on P platers no matter what it is, especially on a weekend night. Since I got my greens i havent been pulled over at all except for having to go through their rbt setups on mulgoa road.

They were real smart to me when i was on my reds though. I took the great western home one night back into penrith, got to high street, i was doing the speed limit and i had just passed the station when i get passed by the station wagon they have.. i think to myself "yeah theyre gonna follow me"

I look in my mirror and see them hit the brakes and do a u turn over double lines, then tailgate me all the way down to the end of the road near the embassy hotel and they finally pull me over, both of them come out and stand neart my window and ask

them - "where have you been tonight?"

me - "i was in parramatta"

them - "oh yeah what were you doing there?"

me - "i was working"

them - "you werent doing anything illigal tonight were you?"

me - "no, i just finished work 30 mins ago" they cut me off and say

them - "are you sure?"

them - "where are you going now?"

me - "yeah.."

me - "to the servo"

them "wrong.. home"

me - "ok.."

At the time i had electrical problems which i thought might have been with the ignition barrel and had the plastic cover off it.

them - "whats going on with that?"

me - "sometimes its a little hard to start, i think the battery or starter might be on its way out"

them - "hahah well usually the battery is in the engine bay HAHAhaha" me then thinking WTF

They hand my licence back, and took off.. didnt breath test me, and theres like 5 cars honking their horns leaving the embassy carpark probably drunk. All the while im thinking "wtf just happened"

emotional screening needs to be assesed before a pass from the acedemy would be a good thing

I'd imagine even the nicest guy outta the academy could turn into the worlds biggest arsehole on an off day. the daily shit they'd get as a police officer is bound to have that effect.

you're kidding right?

err f*k the police, all you bitches suck up to them and now u see why i hate em.. bitches.

mate your a fool for saying that,,,,,,, people like you are the reason we get targeted so easily

and if it wasn't for the cops, who would be there to deter car thieves from stealing your car.... NO ONE!!

don't knock the cops, they do a good job, sure they may make mistakes but everyone makes mistakes and if your job is to deal with shit everyday your going to have a bad day once in a while...

anyway if the guy who got pulled over acted like you the copper would have taken the car to the cleaners instead of saying that he can't be botherd doing the paper work.... i'm sure if he pulled you over he wouldn't mind doing the paper work...

hahahah i never get checked for drugs or bombs at the airports,,,,,, my gf does every single time she comes though with me, its some rule they have now,,,,,, in the past most men used to get searched but their gf or wives used to hold the shit with them..... after 50 years of this happening they have realised that women can be just as bad as men..... also i'm the wog looking one and my gf is blonde aussie and she still gets searched....

    • 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?
