Hey guys.

Unfortunately I got stickered on friday night on a cruise.

Highway patrol pulled me over cos one of my projectors was not working.

He then proceeded to look at the car. He asked me pop the bonnet. Then checked a few things, then asked me to start the car. He then opened my door and reved the engine 3 times. Making the atmo GTR bov make some noise.

I got done for bald rear tyres (inside camber wear), no permit for my two A-pillar guages, Bov, headlight.

So I am wondering what are cops allowed to do. Can they ask me to open my bonnet, or start my car, or rev the engine.

Can I refuse, or can they get angry and do me for something else?

Which vehicle inspection place should I go to? How much does it cost? Any other advice?

Sorry guys, first time with this.

Cheers

Berny

i would also like to know the legality behind them revving your engine.

I don't think i would of even started the car for them.

Probably get stickered either way, so probably wouldn't make much difference...

Yeh, I only the car for a couple of months. So never noticed projector was out, cos all the other lights work.

Yeh, my mate reckons you don't even need start the engine.

But they said I could also get a 150$ fine for headlight not working, so I didn't want to push it.

How much does an inspection cost? Which one should I book it into?

i think the inspection cost has rised upto 80 dollars these days? and make sure there is no leak what so ever in the engine bay cause they are picky on that stuff and also make sure ur engine number is seen on the block cause they hell picked on me for that b4 ! lol also if u got coilies set them to the softest settings. hope that helps :wacko:

Cheers

Not sure if there alloud to rev the vehicle, But hay, pritty sure there also not alloud to tell you that your parents dont love you anymore, But they still seem to do it!

My advice, DONT get vocal with them, it'll land you a nice spot at east perth lock up ( cries a little ) Not a nice place to be, trust me!

Anyways, Sorry to hear about the sticker. Trust me, you'll look back on this and laugh, I had like 3, or 4 stickers on my old sky, and i giggle like a little school girl everytime we brang it up! Bite the bullet, get things fixed, and curse and bitch about the cops at home, even make horrible little voodoo dolls!!! HAHAHA!

Go to either Gin Gin pits, or Midland, They passed my sky who knows how many times on its hole and with a cracked window and duck tape holding one of my intercoola pipes on!

Kels.

It will cost you $83.30 to have the inspection done on your R32. You can pre-pay and inspection over the phone by credit card by calling 13 11 56.

Welshpool & O'Connor inspection centre operate on 1st come 1st serve basis. 1st inspection 730am.

Warwick, East Perth, Midland and Kelmscott operate on a booking service. Phone number to book in is 1300 782 713.

Make sure the yellow sticker (defect notice) does not pass the "expiry date" the cops write on it. If it does pass the "expiry date" you will only be able to drive your R32 to the inspection centre, provided the registration on your R32 has not expired.

Handy having someone from the DPI on here for exact prices.

Yeah just clean up all the engine bay and that, make sure your not too low, make sure all your lights and that are working, make sure your tyres aren't bald and your immobiliser is working.

Thats about all. Just generally make sure its legal. If you still have all your stock parts laying around and they are in decent condition. Just swap them in when you go over, its easier.

Tyres & the light you will have to replace obviously. What bov do you have? Would have to disconnect it or take it off & block it if it's an atmo. You might need permits for the gauges if they are above the height of the steering wheel, block and vision or possibly in a head impact zone if you were to have an accident. I'm guessing you might because there is 2 but I've only got 1 in mine, don't need a permit & the engineers report on my car explains why.

They can ask you to open your bonnet & it's best to comply because pissing them off isn't going to get you anywhere. As for them revving the engine, they aren't allowed to be or look inside your car without a warrant or permission. I've had one cop do that to me when I already had a yellow & there was nothing else he could get me for, he was 2 seconds away from being told to get out & close the door before he just stopped looking & started talking shit. I would have made him get a warrant if he wanted to keep looking, because both of them were smart arses. Personally, if anyone is going to rev my engine, I am.

Making a booking for somewhere will be the easier thing to do, otherwise you're at Welshpool or O'Connor lining up & you could be there for hours. But do that asap because they could even be booked out for a week or 2 & I'd be suprised if you've got longer than that on the notice.

Ok, car now has legal tread all round. Head lights work properly, indicators are now orange and legal. Boost is stock.

Ride hieght is now legal. 100+mm everywhere. Crazy quiet 2.5" zorst is on. GTR BOV is now plumb back. Painted my HICAS lock bar black.

Tomoro a quick degrease and off to pits real early.

Car is rego'd with RB25

My expiry date is the 13th. Tomoro will be the 8th. Get in early. Good friday/monday .... oh noes

The gauges are on the a-pillar. I have two. Aparently danger to my face if I crash.

Any other advice

PS: will they pass a car with diff front and back rims. Do the tires have to be same brand, profile etc all round?

Edited by reNEGaDe88

It should pass with the different front/back rims as long as the tyres arent FAT or HUGE lol or anything like that....also as long as the rim doesnt stick out from the guard.

But yeah you should be ok :P

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
