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.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
