Got pulled over finally after more than 1 year with the Skyline

[RBN1]

Well we all know it would happen eventually. Had the Skyline for more than 1 year - not one incident with the police. Got pulled over just before by the orange "V8 Police" Monaro just outside the city today on the way to work.

They had stopped someone else on the other side of the road but quickly did a u-turn after they saw me go past and pulled me over. Thought it might have been cause I went a little quick around a corner but he asked me to pop the hood instead.

Police : Sounds like you have a BOV. (looking around the engine bay)

Me : Yeh theres a stock and legal factory one. Might be because i've got a pod filter.

Police : Yeh well its aftermarket.

Me : Yes (its a legal paper one so i'm not worried)

Police : Looks a little low (starts looking under the car)

Me : Yeh its lowered a little but I notice its higher than your car (which it is)

Police : Thats a very big exhaust. (i've got a 5Zigen exhaust with 4" tip)

Me : yeh its pretty quiet tho. You can hear your car over mine.

Police : yeh well you better get your suspension bushes looked at. (huh?)

They then took all my details down. Hope I don't get anything in the mail. Funny thing is when he was trying to say the exhaust was loud. You couldn't even hear that the car was on over the noise of traffic and the V8.

Not that bad a experience although he looked kinda dissapointed he didn't find anything wrong and quickly dismissed me and told me to get on my way and ignored my question as to if i'd receive anything in the mail.

Yeah, they just wiat for your admission then HAMMER you.

but if you dont give them anything to hold to you, then they aint got a leg to stand on

it's that simple. I love the line about thier car's ride height vs yours.

instant shut-down. I wouldnt worry aobut the mail. If you do get something... just contest it. If all you have is an exhaust, and it's under the DB limit... then it's a time-waster.

But usually they take details just to record on thier quota sheet (too prove they were doing work and not chasing down mid-morning fluff to perve on)

I cant wait to get driving again and have some wonderful arguments with the law when they can 'hear' the BOV... but can't FIND it.

Hearing is one thing... but they y have gotta find it to be able to fine you

took me about 1month before i got pulled over. They said we'd like to do a roadworthy on the car.. I said no problems I recently bought the car & have the RW certificate here, and then I gave it to "junior", Whilst senior was doing the routine "playing with his ball bags" in the cop car. Junior begins his RWC.. after about a minute or so comes up to me & says "doooh!.. do you need to turn the ingition on to turn your lights on?? I can't get the ignition to switch on" I go .."nah mate, see this here, it's your light switch, go'on try it... see this, it's the remote press that & the ignition switch on"

Then senior comes up & says, no problems mate everythings fine, then stats to rubbing my rear spoiler "carbon fibre blade", & the look on his face was like he was pulling himself fantasising about "junior".. I go "you right there?" he goe "doooh.. yeh mate.. that's different"

After all that I say to them, "I got baby seat in the car, so I fgure, you didn't pull me over coz I was hoonin, honestly guys.. was it coz you wanted to see a GTR in the flesh ;)".. he replys "no, just a routine check"

:Owned:

that sucks... possibly almost as bad as not having a washer bottle with water in it :bs!:

[Jamezilla]

Haha - the H-pattern is still my favourite.

They also got me for not having a padded centre on my steering wheel - and that I should fit it.

Spoke to Momo today who said "it never had a padded centre" and faxed through ADR compliance confirmation. So stupid.

They said we'd like to do a roadworthy on the car..

Buhahahaha.

You should have asked him to show you his paperwork saying he is a qualified approved roadworthy issuer.

Half of em wouldnt know how to change the oil in their car let alone be able to give a car a roadworthy.

Got breathalised recently, & my brake pads are apparantley "race brakes or hard compund somethin or other..." & tend to squeak on light load. "Bit embarrasing sometimes, but they work like nothing else" anyhow.. drive into the breath test area, my brakes are sqealing their heads off, & all the cops are checking me out. Cop goes, looks like you new brakes... (mind you their close to new), I go "oh, do you know much about brembo 4pots" he goes "4pots.. have you been drinking tonight, Sir?".. I looked at him, then my wife & said "I don't drink, I'm talking about my brakes, they are 4 four pot brembos" you dumb f#@k (didn't say the last bit out loud)

yeh i'm in awe of the almighty H-pattern rule too.

Actually they could have got me for H-pattern, padded centre, turbo timer and then theres the slight problem of the exhaust having the same "feature" as your car Jamezilla that makes it breath fire

[Jamezilla]

Yeah... the 'cat' thing... better get that fixed I think

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Well done. He must have felt like an idiot!

How is the amp going, should catch up soon.

[RBN1]

yeh the amp is going good man. I got rid of that huge sub box I had and now have 2x 10" Pioneer subs in a much lighter box so i'm happy with the weight.

Yeh wish somone has a cruise soon so we can meetup or something. We should maybe organise something as I know a few people around our area that might be up for it.

Well done.  He must have felt like an idiot!
