Yeah thats true. My dads told me stories how back in the day they used to run from the police, mostly because the cop cars werent as quick as the cars they were driving, and the police didnt have the technology to track your number plate, where you live etc. He actually did tell me the cops used to belt you back in the day. Sounds terrifying lol.

What i was trying to say was, as of 2008, thats when it became p plate hunting season. Yes cops were still strict before 2008, but 2008 was the year they started getting much more strict. The media made it out to be because there was alot more hooning going around back in those days then usual. I dont know if this is true or not, like i said i dont trust the media, but thats what they reckon caused the cops to become so much more strict.

Nother stupid one is on a full license if you don't have your license on you you have 24 hours to go to cop shop and show them your license. On P's though it's a fine straight up.

Speaking of which I was actually going through a big PDF of all traffic related fines in Vic, and if you're under 25 and not carrying your license, it's a straight up fine. Older than 25 and you have the option of appearing at a police station.

would like to hear the reasoning for that.

would like to hear the reasoning for that.

For those who want a little more insight on a few things.

Penalty 2608: Person aged less than 26 years failing to have licence in his or her possession while driving or in charge of motor vehicle: $72

I too would like to hear the reasoning behind that ^^^

My first skyline back in about 2004 got pulled over for 'random' breathos and inspections at least once a week so I'm not buyin the so much worse from 08 onwards they used to block all the cars in and hammer everyone back then I think you've just got a bit of a poor hard done by me me attitude goin on

I've gotta disagree with that unfortunately, I used to get pulled over all the time in the GTST, monthly more or less (a lot for me in the south east!). Then I bought a 32 GTR, drove that for a year and never got pulled over. Now have a 33 GTR and so far have been fine, maybe they've dulled the operations down who knows. Regardless, cops are getting stricter on everything to meet quotas and the tiniest bit of wheel spin in the rain can have you ending up in court. What I'm saying is, cops aren't getting worse, the punishments are getting worse and more frequent to meet their quotas.

I never once got pulled over in my 33 :cool:

I did however get overtaken by a cop car, whilst driving my completely unroadworthy deathtrap EA, so that he could pull over my ex gf to defect her 32 for being a few mm to low... He certainly saved lives that day

I havnt actually been pulled over yet in the skyline. Its been about 7 months of ownership. I remember a couple years ago my friends who owned skylines supras etc would get pulled over constantly, I remember once in my friends supra, a cop pulled us over to tell us the car was cop bait lol. I dont wanna jynx it, but it does seem like cops are becoming a little less strict.

I got pulled over once, because I did a little skid when I took off form the lights and I didn't see he was right behind me...

he asked me if i was drunk and breathtested me, then let me go...

I thought that was for over 26 as well.

as last time I renewed the chick behind the counter was giving me shit for losing points so it cost me more

Edit

seems it just under 26's since 2013, you are right

    • 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.
