I ride a 1000cc sportsbike and drive a bright yellow Stagea (and a black R33 before that and a bright orange and rather loud 180b before that) and haven't been "harassed" in over a decade.

Strangely enough, the only time I've ever been "harassed" is when I was driving like a f**k wit, apart from maybe twice where I got caught in an RTA/Police operation in Lismore on Cog night. But then I should have known better than to be in Lismore on a Thursday night. So in about 17 years of driving obnoxious, loud and fast cars and bikes, generally well above the speed limit and without really giving a shit what anyone on the road thinks, I'd say twice I was "harassed" by police. The other 4,385 times I've been pulled over were fair enough and I was likely driving/riding like I deserved it.

The moral of my story? Stop driving like a f**k wit in places notorious for being f**k wit attractants and the police will leave you alone. There is no conspiracy. You're young and you drive like you think you're Fangio, or you hang out in places you think chicks hang at, where as in reality only other guys hang out (make of that what you will). You'll grow out of it one day (or at least learn to pick your times and places) and almost like magic the Police "harassment" will stop.

Next time a Police women pulls me over im going to say ' How much" and when she tells me the number i will proceed with 'Well get in", ill end up arrested but it will be worth it to Troll these revenue fanatics lol.

I don't know if that will work, your car becomes unregistered if in another state for longer than 1 month or something. So they will be handing out no reg fines, you wana risk that?? I had one was $650. Don't want another one lol.

Something needs to happen I don't know what options there are. Reality is there won't be an import scene soon so enjoy it while you can.

How can it become unregoed if it is registered in another state that doesnt make sense. I think what u might mean ? is if you live in one state and have a car registered in another state and dont change it over within 2 weeks there is a fine and mebbie rego cancelled BUT thats the trick to the whole thing, having someone or an address relos , business, whatever , in another state that the car can legally be registered to. I have a registered business name for example and the business has a legally registered addy in another state. So in the future my business name will buy the car, its then a company car, ill take full advantage of that plus it will be registered in another state with the cheapest rego too all up ill save a fair bit of money and get the Gestapo off my back as well :) all up its just a better scenario.

Who you talkn to ? .... i didnt see anyone here say they drive like a nob. If ya like me and have a gold license its for a reason, bad driving being the least of it. Last demerit point i lost ( before some defects that are not defects at law) was years ago, well before i owned a Skyline. I dunno where u live, sounds remote or you dont get out much at all. Try being out for a weekend or over night cruises etc then see what happens. U no the amount of stops i get im either stopped already, at lights, just parked, going into a servo , at a stop sign, and so on. I have no dumbass wings on my car, its well kept, looks showroom, nothing 'loud' on it, nice set of rims.... stock body (oh look out, i forgot it is lowered and of course that SCREEEMS im a hoon right!) . Ive said all this before..... and its interesting when u get coppers actually telling u that they hate Skylines, WRX`s and so on AND they tell you Quote: 'get used to it or sell the car' ... really? that has umm what ? to do with the way someone is driving? Ill give the cops one thing, at least they r honest about being Nazis. All my dirving life ive never been harrassed, stopped followed checked etc almosst daily till i bought a Skyline. I think bro youve been watching too much Current Affiar/Media shows about hoons , and some stereo type image is stuck in your head, but the reality is, there r A LOT of nice cars on the roads , highly maintained well looked after, mature drivers and genuine car enthusiasts. The small manority you mouthed off about exist, sure, but I dont think they represent the majority of genuine car enthusiasts.

Get an engineering certificate.

Laminate it.

Put it in your glove box

???

Profit.

People posting dont read the posts aye.... If u read the post i made in reply to the guy whos pissed at the coppers like i am , i said i have every bit of paper work, certificate, EPA accreditation, inspection, approval, code, ISO srating, certified components, in tripplicate, singed, sealed, authorised, AND uploaded on COPS, RTA, EPA, and a bunch of other GOV databases that there is not one single thing that doesnt comply or could be even remotly Alien, illegal, falsly modified or other YET the coppers say Quote: ' So what we dont think it should comply heres a defect take it to court/get it checked again cya" So u see dude having Engineering Certificates wont stop you from getting a defect. so how do u get around all this shit the cops love? Set it up in a way (legal) that the car is rego`d to another state.

might want to do some research into the price difference between private rego and insurance and company insurance. you won't be saving any money. will actually cost you more for both of them in most cases. i looked at putting my skyline into my business name in case it was cheaper. it wasn't.

Good advice for sure but my needs really quantify having a company car, and as i drive a slyline as a daily anyway, may as well be that one:)

I was looking up and unrelated thing on the net when this article came up. How odd but it comes as no surprise and if this is happening, what else is going on that is not known! Dam Nazis!

Gets my tick of approval BUT what ya gonna do IF its a bloke? That may turn out to be a painful experience for u :P

How long can you leave a fine overdue? eg speeding tickets you can usually get another month or so after the due date to pay it before you need to go to court.

Its a big "no rego" fine not a speeding tick though.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
