Hey guys sorry if this has been made I don't have a search thing on my iPhone.

Pretty much looking to buy this r33 next week, just wondering how much attention from the police you guys get! Alot of people say to me oh there a red hot car but are they really and any ways to make it less attention seeking!

Any answers would be appreciated!

Cheers guys

ow thats craaap, i'm moving to QLD, i use to get pulled over mouthly in the R32 GTR which only has white rims and a quite HKS Super drager, i don't go to the usual car spots and drive sensibly(only two fines in seven or so years of daily driving in the 32), and its almost always open the bonnet, but only one defect in nine years

Definitely depends on where you go.

I've been defected twice and pulled over twice and only once whilst being on my Ps. But it was in the same area. Durrack. Never again.

I don't go to hot spots/massive meets etc.

Durack is next to the Police Academy, Anna got pulled up on Blunder Road every day for a week right around lunch time. she started taking a different route after that, but yeah that whole little area there is full of Rookies learning how best to be a dickhead to law abiding citizens.

Never been pulled over in my 32, with on P-plates .... been abit over a year and a half ... i casually drive around surfers and all without any hastles ... If you keep it legal height, have a quiet exhaust and dont drive like an idiot you will have no problems!

I get pulled over maybe once a year, that said I don't go places that police target

I second its place dependent + luck. I went to the servo to fuel up a couple of weeks ago and guess what? Highway patrol pull in and grab a donut and decided to check my license and pop my bonnet when I'm done fuelling...

Ask me dumb questions like

Cop: " this is turbo?"

Me: "yes twin"

Cop: "any bloww off valve?"

Me: "of course, all turbo have blow off valve"

Cop: "can you rev the engine for me?"

Me: of course"

Disappointed without hearing the "pssst" sound and gave up....

ive heard surfers is a hotspot for cops pulling over imports, havnt had any trouble myself, but id say if your making alot of noise with blow off valves and droning exhausts then you'll be pulled over..and if it looks rough with different coloured panels or somthing..

In my 33, I had it for 3 years. Was pulled over twice. Once they where standing on the side of the road and signaled me in. Pulled in, he looked in the car and said 'cya mate'. No RBT or license check lol.

Second time I was driving on a busy road. Cop drove past the other way. He did a uturn in heavy traffic illegally, proceeded to weave in and out of traffic like a hoon to catch up to me. Pulled me over, popped the bonnet, was rude as hell. Held me up for about 20 minutes checking the car out. Nothing illegal so had to let me go. Just gave me my license back and walked off - didn't say anything.

In my 34, been next to cops plenty of times never pulled over. It has a impul body kit + rims + decent sounding exhaust. It's very clean so they don't bother. I stopped into subway at Forest Lake once before and they walked up and had a quick look at the outside of the car. The copper was having a casual chat to me about how they find a few bomby ones that are thrashed and hooned around etc etc...

A few times I have driven past cops pulling people over and they don't even bother pulling me in.

Yeah mate, like a lot of the other blokes have said, it comes down to how you drive it, and how its presented.

Dont play up in town, and keep it tidy, and that's your best hope of staying under the radar.

(i myself have my missus' personalised plates with frangapanni's on it) aha..its pretty gay, but fingers crossed, i havent been hassled yet

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
