I was going to fast for them to follow and get a speed, and they had no radar. Plus they were detectives in an unmarked car, so I doubt they could be bothered doing anything. I've never done something that stupid again!!

so you were going that fast they could not catch up?

I guess the fact you stopped when you saw the distant flashing lights is something. :P

^ i see MattyP reading this...

i've been pulled over HEAPS... always RBT (sometimes speeding, well a few times but yeah...)

once your car is stopped they're basically out of the car straight away man, if you can just turn off your car and your lights (if it's night time or dark) and just hop out if they haven't reached you... if they have then stay in the car unless they're in your way

always good to show common courtesy to them, if you've done something wrong and you're definitely going to get done, don't act stupid... if they haven't got you definitely then say things like 'maybe', 'possibly' and 'could have' a lot... then you won't be done for actually admitting anything lol

works like a charm :P

and out of interest Kinh, what plates did you get?

i need some custom plates now, about time i turn into a SAUWA sheep

i was gonna get something flashy outta the blues 4u2nv or ru3429t but decided not to so you'll have to wait and see.

I slowed right down to only 30kms over, then I saw the lights coming over the hill. Not that I was doing lightspeed so they couldnt keep up, they just didnt have time to catch up. It was still stupidly fast though :)

i think there are cops surfing SAU looking for any suspicious behaviour !! ... OMG am i suppsoe to say that .. crap ..... i got pulled

over once, and they were like " OHH we're not trying to be RACIST (since im asian) ... bla bla bla" ... nothing wrong with my car so

they had to let me go.... but i just got off work with formal working clothes, so maybe i look like a decent person at that time (which

is rare cuz i normally go out in thongs and shorts and just a Tshirt) ... LOL

-=POWER TRIPPING COPS =-

Yer dude i had the same thing really i am all ways getting pulled over for nothing

1. going down south street and doing the speed limit a statesman flew passed the police turned on there lights we both pulled over and the lady cop walked up 2 the statesman and said "we are after the skyline you can go" just a license and a breath test and away i go.

2. coming home 2 Scarborough from Morley driving up scar beach rd in Mt Hawthorn police did a u turn pulled me over and 2 young police officers jumped out and started with the power trip asking me is there any one else with me i said nope then they said to pop the hood i did then they got a torch and looked in to my car.

I was like what the hell do you think your doing he said looking in your car whats with the "bag and clothing boy" i replied its none of your biz and why u pulled me over for any ways was i speeding. He said no my pipe was to loud and i was like okay and...... he said nothing but i was free to go.

3. I was going to mandurah just getting off the free way and i did not indicate when leaving the roundabout the cop pulled me in and stung me badly and idiot me payed the fine it was $150.00 and two points. He was pulling heaps of people in for this reason I paided the fine then i read in the lerners book u do not have to indicate when leaving a roundabout only if u feel its save to do so.

i had no idea it was not compulsory to indicate leaving a roundabout. I've been pulled over once for it.

the few times i have been pulled over by an undercover where:

1. on the freeway, when i over took an undercover at the legal limit and he didnt like it very much so he pulled me over. No fine...he just took my name down.

2. Along morley drive heading towards karrinyup road...they just wanted to check the car for defects...gave me a rbt and sent me on my way.

3. In the graham farmer tunnel...apparenty didnt like the excessive noise, but just gave me a rbt and sent me on my way.

then i read in the lerners book u do not have to indicate when leaving a roundabout only if u feel its save to do so.

It is compulsory to indicate when exiting a round a bout. I think ur getting confused when entering the round a bout. If you entering the round a bout and plan to go straight through, there is no need to indicate. However, just before you exit the round a bout you are required to indicate.

for all you P platers out there if you have a nice car or loud zuast or big doof doof cops gonna love you best thing that i found is dont have your P plates up i had a S15 with boarder line limo tint an big zuast an sterio not once got pulled over (unless i was doin somthink wrong) same with the 33 GTR. u no that if there not in a donut line there after the modified cars an not the ones with the rust holes all down the car.

anyways take care

neil, you do realise you are required by law to have your p plates up if you are in fact a p plater. The repercussion of getting caught if you do not have them up just because it will attract less attention from the police is not worth it

Terence, Its a $100 fine I think. Cop was going to give me one when my P plate was laying on my parcel shelf. Glad he didn't, but still got a speeding fine.

Neil, that is completely rift. The amount of times cops drive past my car and as soon as they see my Ps, they're watching me like a hawk. When my Ps are down, they don't even look.

I was driving my mates Rex doing 80 in a 70 zone, cops cruised past at about 90. If I had my Ps up I'm possitive I'd have been stopped.

Only problem with not wearing my Ps, mum chucks a sad :blink: I hate living at home sometimes!

yea by no means do i say brake the law but from personal exp i had my P plates up for 2 weeks than that was it had been pulled over a couple of times thy didnt say to much just warnings nothink on paper, it just one of them things you do at ur own risk i guess :blink:

1. on the freeway, when i over took an undercover at the legal limit and he didnt like it very much so he pulled me over. No fine...he just took my name down.

yet another reason why mental health and emotional aptitude tests must be mandatory for all active police at least once bi-annually

id rather stick the p plates up rather then getting a fine. on or off either way im still gonna get pulled over. my shifts are sometimes late at night and when driving home they'd expect wth are you driving around at 2am for etc. (have just been pulled over again last night ffs) its on till jan so hopefully it wont happen as much anymore or else im going to have to by a camry and drive for the meantime. :) (im being serious btw)

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
