radar detectors +++++++1billon lol have always had them, been caught once with one in SA the patrol car had a radar detect detector and it worked and i got a $250 fine no points i was suprized.

guess what i did when i went back home jumped online and bought a new model with VG2 undetectatable, tested it on same patrol car a few weeks later and not a problem. been fine ever since.

there about $400 to buy, not sure what the fines are over here in vic. i hardly use mine anymore only doing long trips back to the country.

if i ever got pulled over use to shove it down my undies lol

BUT! when i got caught by the patrol car with the detector detector, he showed me the rights he had to search the car and then if not found take me into the station for a strip search. i asked him you sure you want it? then pulled it out my pants haha.

No offence, but posting up everything you do on a public forum isn't the wisest thing to do....Especially you are doing something illegal and admitting to it :devil:

hey guys, havn't got my pride and joy yet but should do in a couple of weeks and will no doubt be joining you in our lovely late night get togethers with the fuzz. as to what they can do, they certainly can go through your car based on suspision, but that suspision must be validated; eg. you were stopped talking to someone on the street and exchanged goods, you were swerving all over the place or driving erratically, you have a history of drug or alcohol abuse in relation to you driving, etc, etc. they CANNOT simply say that they are checking on a suspision without something to base that on, if they do so without your permission (make it clear they don't have it) anything they find is inadmissable in court. they are also required to provide you with their badge number, rank and name if asked so make sure you get that and make a complaint, they'll be in the shit if they've not followed protocol, maybe next time they'll think twice before randomly giving us the shits because they have a job about as interesting weet bix.

hence the reasoning behind my thoughts.. i would be askig the officer what suspicion he has upon searching the car.. prob say tht its a known drug runner car.. or something along those lines..

if they are different police, there has to be a reason for them to search

^^^ so do you think Craig that there's a big variance between copper #1 to copper #2?

...which is also dependent on the variance in attitude between driver #1 to driver #2?

Is there also quite a variance between how laws are interpreted?

I suspect that all the variables above can influence how coppers react.

I'd also feel more susceptible to having my car searched if I was a young middle-eastern looking guy than an old asian...

...even if I was riding my scooter.

Everyone is at risk of stereotyping I guess... sigh...

A copper is a copper to me LOL.. i don't like them.. but only because of issues i've had with them.. (not car related)... But i don't think all coppers can be bad.. Alot of them are there for a job only.. Emotions will have to play a part at some stage.. Its human.. I'm not rude to them as that is stupid and does bring trouble.. And all the ones i meet are only doing their job..

Saying that though.. Unless he is rude to them or causing hassle.. I see no reason why different police would be pulling him over and doing a search... So you're saying that i should be hiring an old asian to do my drug running?

So you're saying that i should be hiring an old asian to do my drug running?

Nup. French. LOL. They always get away with it > hiding powder in the running boards > even made a film about eh?

When customs see us asians at the border, they've already got us lined up for bringing in food and not declaring it - LOL

So any white powder amongst that lot would have to be spotted hahaaa.

this thread is LOL!!!

I can't wait for the thread about his airbag deploying for no reason when he tries to remove it from the dash on passenger side :( I'm still wondering why he needs a compartment to hide something so the cops don't find it. Radar detectors need line of sight to work (unless you have the hard mounted boot install jobies) so secret compartment aint gonna do jack. Get your sh1t sorted with the cops if they pull you over every month for "no reason".

Got searched today AGAIN on cowpasture rd .... fkn cops stained my leather seats and left my car in the biggest mother fkn mess

.... this needs to end!!

Hey Eddy,

Is that Wetherill cops that keeping pulling you over?

Can i ask, is your R34 very low or very loud?

Can they defect you for anything ?

I understand your point as i used to get hassled all the time by Wetherill and Green Valley cops but only because i was always in Race Meeting places and my cars were stupidly low or loud.

Since then i barely get looked at and i have had an R32, 350Z, EVO 8, RX8 all with mods (exhaust, wheels...) but they are never too low and never too loud when cruising and i dont go to race meets anymore.

but in regard to others who state that they need a good reason to search your car that is true but very easily made up.

i got pulled over many years ago and i asked why they needed to search my car and the cop said that they suspected we were hiding something as we all were acting suspiciously and they thought they saw my mate in the back stick something down the back of the seat.

None of this was true as they just wanted to hassle us and see if we were hiding something.

Rob

Im Pretty sure, that if your getting pulled over for that amount of times, for this apparent "no reason at all", you can get them on hassrassment, which could lead to more drama but maybe you should just get it sorted, theres a problem there somewhere,, taking airbags out isnt the best idea ive heard of, im sure you would feel gulity as, if you were to crash or something and the airbag trhat was there would have saved your mates life... not saying your going to crash, but whos to say the other idiot on the road isnt drunk or something..just a thought!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
