Have you ever really had a chance to talk a highway patrol officer? To talk in an environment where the nature of your questions and answers wouldn't result in how many stickers get placed on your windscreen?

Well, I have that chance on Wednesday, face to face, in studio.

So, SAU, lay some truth on me, what do you want to know? OR - What have you always wanted to know but were too afraid to ask?

Im still a tad cut about getting an epa for my exhaust without being pulled over and passing the test.....waste of a day, stress and 40dollars

do all police officers simply jump tp conclusions when they see a sports car or is it in their quota to make money for the epa/exhaust shops whom pay a tax im sure

are they more bias to p-platers??

oh and how come ferraris/lamborghinis and harleys have more rights then we do with a middle class/price car

Not sure if you notice but i doubt a ferrari would pass a 5000rpm rev test at 90dB

Without knowing what you spoke about (which could only ever be the tip of the iceberg)... this could be long winded

He said he has the chance on Wednesday, which implies that the talk has not happened yet..

I'm not sure how one conversation with a cop means you can now answer all of our questions? I have a million. My first question is what did you talk about and myabe I could base my questions around your topic of conversation.

Cheers.

what are the major things that you see that will make you pull a vehicle over?

with a car like a skyline, are you more likely to pull over a thrashed out dirty stock 160rwkw 33gtst with altezzas, or a nice clean yet obviously very highly modified 350rwkw 33gtst?

LOLZ this thread is stuffed up with people thinking the talk already happened!

read the first post guys!!!

ask them why must they break the law (weave through cars, go over median strips, speed, tailgate) to get to a import that is clearly not breaking the law just to pull them over?

QUESTION: Why dont they stalked rust bucket pouring out smoke and oil and macking hell of a noise clearly unroadworthy, but yet they stalk skylines and defect them for a break light or reverse light.

fair is fair, we all use the roads and want them to be safe.

and old people driving under the speed limit, have slow reaction to green lights and arrows, car judge car's, think they can just merge into traffic doing 80kph or even 100kph and a steady 40kph. why dont they issue them with a license re-sitting, or a drivers safety course

id like to know why they always act as though they just jumped off the trojan war horse which invaded troy when they pull a car over..

and when you ask a simple question they jump back with 'are you being a smart ass' or a 'you know what you did' when you clearly have no idea what the hell you have done..

Good work mate :( ......I can only hope that the interview/discussion is portrayed in a fair manner without bias :)

How about ask him/her how the TAC and police have got away with using 'Speed Kills' for god knows how long when it is a false statement. Speed doesn't kill it is simply a multiplying factor when an accident happens and is not a cause (this doesn't go for inappropriate speeding). All this does is enable to gov to generate funds and does not address the real cause of accidents - driver training or lack there of.

Ask him/her why the police have gone down the path of speed camera's when they do very little to stop the offense from occuring. Receiving a fine in the mail about a month after the offense has happened does nothing to stop it at the time. Instead of hiding camera's, visible ones will actually reduce peoples speed AT THE TIME.....or even better have more patrols on the street (how many more patrols would the cost of speed cameras have bought instead?).

Lastly people who habitually reoffend...whether it be excessive speed or drink/drug driving should be forced to visit a busy emergency ward on a sat night to see the damage such offenses cause.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
