Just thought id let everyone know the scene in Newcastle has taken a big hit. Cops are not even bothering to pull people over now, they just send your licence details to the DECC and instruct you to attend the workshop at Redhead. Even modifying your car to pass then re-modifying it can land you in hot water as your car is extensively photographed and if caught changing the car back will result in fines/loss of points/licence.

My friend got breath tested the other day, cops wrote the plate down and today got issued with a notice to attend.

Wow. They are really hitting hard with the modified cars. I wonder are they still targetting only Jap cars or Modified Australian cars too like XR6 turbos.

My friends car was a mildly modified late model SS Commodore and he's quite a sensible mature driver.

Please read this. You'll almost certainly learn something that will help you protect your bank balance. Just keep a few coins ready for the swear jar.

What a load of crap!!

There are Drug Dealers everywhere, paedophiles, rapists and murderers but lets concentrate on fining people with a pod filter or a lowered car or a sports exhaust. This will clean up ALL the problems of soceity as they are HUUUUGE problems that could result in Armageddon.

Stands and applaudes the NSW government, you clearly have the priorirties in order.

You guys in newy got it easy compared to us in sydney

sydneys getting worse

saturday night i got pulled over into a parking lot , a copper asked me if i have BOV's i told him GTRS come standard with BOV'S he said no they dont and its a defect , Obviously no clue there i dont want to go into detail what else happened they tried so many different things but i just replied in a polite matter and was smarter then them . they let me go in the end .

Last night was with my brother in his Evo 9 ( BONE STOCK ) at brighton , He got defected for having a aftermarket gear knob and they told him his number plate at the front shouldnt be on the side when thats how they come from the factory .

anyone else got any stories i got so much more ......

hope I don't jinx myself ...but in 2 years of owning an R34 I've been pulled over twice .. once for speeding, copped a fine and that's it. Other time I was just curising at like 1 AM in side streets and they wanted to check my license and let me go righ away...

I've been through RBTs a couple of times atleast and was never asked anything about the car or mods. I've seen plenty of cop cars drive past me in both directions and was never pulled over for just driving a skyline. And they could easily use my dark tits as an excuse..

So I think it's a combination of WHERE in Sydney you live and how modified your car is ie. loud exhaust, atmo BOVs etc will always be a cop magnet. There's a big difference if if you're curising around Glebe or around Bankstown. I think the coppers around here are already used to seeing me and know I'm a local so don't bother to pull me over.

it's bogan central that's why .. cops are too. Also due to the high number of idiots in the far west in general, I'd say that's why they're more heavy handed...as they probably deal with speeding dickheads everyday.

Is that your engine bay photo in your Display Picture? What else did they try and get you on?

I live in Bankstown and have owned my GTR for 2 years. Not once have i been pulled over, looked at twice or anything. Pretty heavily modified too. A bloke from work was saying that on Friday night the coppers down Malabar way were pulling anything and everything over and going to town on them. Pretty scary!

Piggaz na not my engine bay its my old engine bay on my old gtr ,

they told me i need a engineers certificate for all my mods , i told them go ahead open the engine bay , ( my engine bay looks bone stock ) but like yours is heavily modified , but i keep the standard look as its better in terms of cops especially when you live in bankstown which i do . they opened up the bay and said yeh its pretty stock not knowing the cars worked but insisted my car is too low , that i admit its like 6cms off the ground and said my exsaust is too loud , but other then that they couldnt really do much ,they ask alot of questions but they got no clue , they cant see things like turbos , cams , etc , if you got a stock bay ? so i guess i got lucky .

true what you say so many cops around its not funny , and i know there is a cop driving around in a r32 gtr and its white so people be careful .

Ahh. A white R32 GTR. Interesting. Pretty funny about the BOV's though. I suppose we could almost get away with saying 'no we dont have them' if they are the stock items!

On side note. Im surprised i havent seen you floating around here. (in the R34 that is)

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
