Its getting really bad...i live in Mill park..northern melbourne and iv been pulled over 7 times these last 6 months. I was definitly not doing anything stupid. Every time i had my engine checked, tires checked and 2 times was sent to EPA to test my exhaust. Its just stupid..

Won't bother arguing bout how dodgy cops are but most r good and reasonable even with standard cars but in the end u have bought the gtr for the love of it, like I bought my gtst and gtt cos I always wanted a skyline. Just enjoy it while u have it mate, if the cops decide to act like cocks then that's nothing u can help. No one really appreciates fully sick kents who rip skids n make the rest of us look bad

Serious? Surely not in the northern subs... You may have something very obvious on your car that warrants them to take a look.

or the car you are driving has some sort of "history" with the cops. :)

Cops in the northern subs generally don't care unless you seem to be driving erratically or driving in a suspicious manner. Cause they actually go out and fight the "real crime" and accidents as a priority - due to resources being stretched.

I imagine defecting someone is lower in their list.

As opposed to the east and south east where the crime rate is generally lower - so "possibly" more reasources are focused on the roads.

I've lived in different parts of northern subs for the past 22 years.

But since you are from Mill Park - they could be ramping up cause of the guy that decided to wrap himself and some friends around a tree back in January...

By the way I find the cops in the northern subs pretty tough (really lay down the law) but easy going and don't mind a friendly chat - I guess they have seen way too much - that nothing really shakes their world anymore. If only more cops were like this... but that's probably for another thread - and would be open to debate :cool:

Pft you can have illegal mods. Just make sure they don't find them :D my car looks 100% stock under the bonnet. So I don't care that they pull me over with my skittles paintjob because I never get defected haha

wow... now that's confidence...

your car is too loud for starters.... then there's the matter of the aftermarket turbo... your injectors are the wrong colour (epa guys can spot this)

from memory you have a hole cut for your fmic....

you could be reeeeeeemed

(but your car is DEFINATELY not too low) :D

After I get this EPA cleared I'll be taking Boronia Road from now on. f**k Burwood Highway and f**k the gauntlet. Most police I come across are nice and most cop cars don't give me more than a glance, but there's something about Knox TMU...

That's what I'm saying man, it's the area. Saying "oh you wont get pulled over looking stock" is just plain BS. It's a matter of time, unless you're out west or north. Come live out east and you'll see what I'm talking about. You'll be f**ked in the ass, I guarantee.

In saying that you can mod legally but really, what are your options? FMIC or POD, No ECU, no boost, no turbo change....whoopy do!

I had my kicker panel pulled off to check my ECU by the TMU, they are THAT thorough!! I'd swapped the PFC plate for the stock Nissan cover plate luckily.

Yeap but just shows how useless cops are. I just don't go to Knox and I'm fine. Cops never questioned injectors or even knew it had a larger turbo. They really can't find shit lol

The cops r probs reading this lol...Now they know the bright orange Skyline is illegally modified.... :)

The answer is simply if you can accept the fact when mod it you will get done eventually every now and then and if your prepared to deal with it rather then bitch about it then go ahead, me personally I like the mods I do and yes I hate getting done but to me driving my car with mods and enjoying it outweighs the price of getting done every now and then I just think of it as a extra tax for driving a skyline.

I use burwood highway all the time, no dramas at all, but i've only had the supra for what, 1.5 months?

Which sections should i avoid?

I find stud road just as bad around the knox area, even my dad noticed he got a new Pajero from High street road / stud road corner and when he was checking up on the progress / paying stuff off, 3/4 of the times he was there he saw a commodore pulled over, soarer, and a skyline, just at the bus lane there..

Also thats where i got done once as well, even in my full hecktik non turbo bro.. they don't care apparently my P wasn't up even though it was.. just wrote a letter saying WTF? and got out of it. Driving normal too.

The whole of Knox man, but specifically the gauntlet (that section of traffic lights that 99% of the time you have to stop somewhere outside of Knox). I used to drive through there all the time with my Soarer, never got attention. And in a year of driving the R33, no worries either bar a couple of relatively unfair traffic infringements. But they will eventually get you on the defect. I drive through there at the moment but that's because I know I can thrust the defect/EPA notice in a cops face and say too late your colleague beat you to it f***face. Once the EPA is cleared I'll be avoiding at all costs.

High Street Rd, Stud Rd, Scoresby Rd, Ferntree Gully Rd...STAY AWAY!

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
