Are you mr rb? If so, saw them pull you over, I saw that they were following you and could sense that they were going to pull you over, was kust hoping that you spotted the unmarked car behind you and continue to drive sensibly, which you did, unlucky but.

Yeah bud, that's me. Drive sensibly most of the time & was kinda annoyed cos I didn't actually see them for once either. I normally notice the unmarked cars but for some reason I didn't see this one :-(

Neil will defect you no matter what you do.

Another funny thing was that he asked me if I'd come from Vili's just after he pulled me over so he knows all about the friday night meet too :-/

Just an observation and comment

Everything you post on here, including broadcasting what other illegal mods he's missed, can be read by anybody, Be wary of stirring the hornet's nest and creating an even more frenzied attack on the Skyline community. My wife and I hold our breath everytime we see a cop car while out in the Skyline. I've even pulled to the right at an intersection to let a cop car squeeze past get around a corner on my left and got a friendly wave back. Obviously I wasn't in Glenelg.

Mentioning a certain importers name to a certain officer may not do much good, as he is the one who showed a certain officer what to look for ; the justification being that the "educated" officer only defected you for illegal things not just what he thinks might be illegal. So if he finds your boost controller, consider yourself done. Also this guy has been put into a car by SAPOL and told to "go out and get 'em". He's doing a very good job, apparently.

It's good that those who get defected post it here so we know the current hotspot. It's a bit like speed camera locations.

If Glenelg is the current haunt then I will avoid that area in my Skyline. I wouldn't even ride my sport bike to Glenelg as police there are, or at least were, hot on bikes as well.

Here's an example from a workmate. An officer ran over to his bike before he hardly even got his helmet off and defected him for having a fender eliminator kit on his bike. He was also told "we don't want you lot down here" - referring to motorcyclists. From what I was told, that was a wish of the local Mayor.

Hmmm

I must tether those pod filters.

Thanks for your comments mate but I never posted anything about what he missed if u were referring to me, just that there's a bit to do before i take the car through Regency. I'm generally always pretty friendly with cops considering I do/did want to be one one day so this was just unlucky on behalf.

yeah about the glenelg thing I was followed for ages by an unmarked with his high beams on in my 32. then when i parked next to a park he went around the block a couple of times and looked at my car. So ridiculous cause my mate in his 4age corolla which is louder than my car and he was driving much faster than i was (i was doing speed limits everywhere) and going through round abouts pretty quickly wasn't even looked at. You would thin that they would have something better to do.......

Unfortunately if you drive and import on the road these days you will be targeted, It sucks and some of the lucky ones manage to steer clear of trouble. But if your car has modifications to it deemed illegal then you will be defected.

I was driving behind a mate down Tapleys hills rd with an un engineered 25 in his 32 with plenty of other stuff, seen a ve commodore fly out of a back street after us we were both driving sensible but I got pulled over and defected for the usual (from officer Neil). My car had been looked at plenty of times from the po po but nothing until that day.

I was also told when he defected me that they (police) do get on here and read up on things.

They do seem to be getting smarter, have had cops in the past look at my car & pretty much only warn me about how low it is, had an undercover go through my whole car & almost try to do me for my skinny spare saying it wasn't the correct spare tyre for me to have. He ended up just warning me bout my driver's seat being apparently loose even though he shook the shit out of it to come to this conclusion :P This Neil bloke def knew what & where to look, he even shone his torch @ my turbo to see if it looked any different from stock. There's plenty of other things that I think they should be doing with their time though...

In all fairness if your car looks rediculois I.e wheels protruding the guards massive cannon and low then you prob deserve to be defected, my exhaust is fair massive so I'm getting rid of it as I belive it's the reason why I was pulled over even if they didn't ask me to rev it or anything so unless your good at keepin your car looking stock etc then it's only a matter of time, fingers crossed I don't get pulled over anymore so goodbye boost controller, huge exhaust and computer, everything else is legal on the car

Ya see comments like that can anger people pretty good hey, I didn't deserve to be pulled over & I don't appreciate comments like that. Is it my fault that I wanted a bit of time & effort put into my car to make it look good?! Apart from it sitting a tad low my car isn't too loud & my rims are stock from a 350Z. I don't think anyone really "deserves" to be defected unless your driving out there & being a complete dick :angry:

A lot of us do drive like dicks at times, if you saw a commodore pull out of a sidestreet and hang the back out for no reason doing 80 in a 60 you would laugh when he got defected. Even if it was 11pm on a Tuesday with no one around.

When you are honestly doing nothing and get done then I can see where the anger comes from.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
