Im jaded after getting defected on Saturday night and pinged with a DECC inspection :(

I wasn't speeding, but i did change gears right about the time i saw the cops hit the lights, so they probably heard the valve. <-- which is getting removed asap. (came with car)

But the funny thing was, while being escorted by two bike cops to the checking station, one speeds off and chases down another skyline, then brings him back to line up behind me, and off me the other line and two bike cops go to the inspection station. That skyline was just cruising past, i didnt even hear it with my window down, plus we passed heaps of other cars that could have been pulled over. Lines are obviously more of a target then some other vehicles,

So skylines cop magnets, probably not, but something that cops will notice more then other cars, yeah sorry but they are eye and ear catchers.

To a degree all imports are somewhat targets, I mean if your car screams 'look at me' your going to have a higher chance of being stopped for no reason than anyone else or if you drive like a spastic.

I usually only see tards stopped in imports by police

You are more likely to get pulled up in a crappy looking old falcon or commodore than a nice looking skyline.

Or in an import that was once a good looking car that has had a teenager loose on it for a few days with loads of crappy bolt on bits with aftermarket bumpers that havent been fitted properly/made for that car.

If your car looks 'cared' for then your less likely to get pulled up in it unless a cop has a special dislike for moddified cars

drove a r32 gtr with massive wing, roll cage, semi slicks, 400+hp on the road for 3 years without only bieng pulled once for missing my p plates....

and one breath test station outside a school one morning along with other cars..

Just keep it simple at least from outside to at least make it less appealing for them to check it. i own mine for more than a year and not once got pulled over (touch wood, fingers crossed!!!!)

i got breath tested a few times and each time my car got stared at.. i didn't notice but my wife said to me afterward the guy was constantly looking at your car but lucky never got checked .. but i won't be afraid if they check it .. i will happily open the bonnet for them :D .. it's stock standard

But hey.. it's import.. what do you expect.. they can defect you for anything they want.

so don't hold your expectation high :(

and yes .. it is a cop magnet .. it has been proven from time to time :)

I have been driving skylines for over 6 years and have never been hassled "for driving a skyline". My R31 even had a loud exhaust on it, aftermarket wheels and a front mount (not to mention the 5 puck clutch and locked diff).

MYTH BUSTED.

I'd say it all depends on the area, where you live whether in the city or bush, in the city, your more likely to get pulled over as there will be a fair bit of cops, but in the bush, most cops there couldn't be bothered.

Yeah I was gonna say location will play a big part in it

Let me put it this way...yes, if you drive a Sports Car you will attract a little more attention from everyone...but if you drive like a total dick, then the Cops will give you special attention too...does this answer your question.

Just drive it decently and avoid dick-like behavior and you should be right. If wanna squirt it, do it on a track...the roads are for normal travels not street racing. Done.

Got pulled up for the first time in my Skyline at Pacific Fair on Saturday...

Was driving through the bus area and a cop steps in front of me to inspect my vehicle.

Guess they thought I was a schoolie or something cause I said to the chick cop I never expected them in a shopping centre driveway. She said, "This is the last place I wanted to be on a Saturday." They were puling over every 2nd car though.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
