Hi everyone,

I just want everyone to share their experiences with how the authorities see the V-series as it is becoming more popular among imports.

My number 1 experience:

(2-12-10) I went through a booze bus at night and was first on the queue. Lady officer looked at the head lights (stock), my rims (aftermarket) and ride height (stock), my rear privacy glass (stock), and told me to wind up my window abit to see the tint (no tint). After all that, it was fine. She was nice. ;)

Haha, yeah. You being the only car going in the queue must have turn more than 1 set of eyes. :)

For me, V-series are still rare cars to be seen on the road for authorities (like RX7, GTO, etc.), so sometimes that make them guess what this car is in front of them. But once they see the Nissan badge... ;)

dont think il b so lucky wid my ride height now. but iv got away wid my 8000k aftermarket HIDs b4. Wen i went thru a booze bus ( wen car was stock height). after i cleared the BT. I was asked to pull over nd had my license and rego checked to c if i own the car. He then tried checking to c if my car was manual cuz i had an auto license . Finally i was allowed to go. No checks were done on the car though Only mods were aftermarket rims and Greddy front bar.

Yeah, Steve. I remember you telling me about this.

When that lady officer checked my ride height, I remember you straight away. When she told me to wind up my window to see the tint (No tint), I felt lucky because I was going to go really dark before.

Glad I haven't done these things. ;)

that's really funny coz i was waiting in line for a RBT along johnson st, Sth Guildford...an officer from the patrol car behind walks up and the following conversation happened

Me in car with driver side window down and the officer peers through and looks at the passenger side window

Officer: excuse me, can I get you to wind your passenger side window up please

Me: Officer, it is up??

Officer: <wide eyed> ...ok....you've got legal tint

I drove off happy....but had a .02 reading.

Haha, that was a abit embarrassing for the officer. :)

Been through the booz/drug bus before but the cops never paid any attention to the car, just blew in the bag and then on my way

My cars got tint on the windows which matches the privacy glass in the back

Matches as in under 35%?

Also to note. The V35 is the main random car driving the streets in the New need for speed hot pursuit 2010.

Useless fact but it's also one of the desert run cars in the 2009 Fast & Furious.

Really Mark? I didn't about the Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2010. Can you drive that V35 or not?

Ive noticed the v36 doesnt even attract public attention. Unlike my last wrx which had everyone turn their heads, this car gets almost nothing, unless the person is aware of what it is.

I think it's still abit new and not alot of modified V36 in Australia yet.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
