Hey all,

Just wanted to document something out of the ordinary that happened yesterday just before closing up at work.

I had pulled my car out of the workshop and parked it in one of our bays so I could start bringing in other vehicles and wrapping up.
About 30mins-45mins later a police twin cab D-MAX pulled up out the front of my workshop - single female driver. She was in the car for a bit but I noticed her looking around and then get out and open up the back tray of her vehicle. I thought nothing of it... That was until the boys from the shop next to me informed me today that she got out a camera and started photographing my car. She was out the front for no longer than 15-20mins then as we walked outside to leave she did a U-turn and drove away.

To my recollection I have no reason to be of interest to police especially seeing as my car has just come out of the workshop after 7-8months in the build and I have a clean drivers record. It was driven twice that day, once to the autoelectricians then once back - no cops in sight, following me or pulling me over.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or something similar? It's playing on my mind as with the new hooning laws, I'm wondering if they're documenting imports and adding them to a database on their systems.

I would like to agree with you, but since the polys and ACA have made it their primary concern (over drug deals and criminals) that they should lock up all hoons and get imports off our roads, its a v

Only thing I can think off is that she may send you an EPA letter in the mail (not sure what that is called in QLD) road worthy?

They take pictures for evidence then send you a letter in the mail.

Doubt they could possibly do anything else !

Maybe she just liked it or has a child that likes it??? Hopefully they aren't going so low as to make a database.

They already have a database of imports guys...you all have registration. My bet would be Anfwrx said, probably going to get a nice letter in the mail.

I'm going to say she took photos because she liked it. They don't necessarily have an agenda against us and we don't have EPA here. We aren't at the point that they're coming after us parked at work or shops.

We had 7-9 skylines parked outside fulcrum, half a block down the road from the cop shop and they had no issues.

They already have a database. When we rego our cars we have to say why make and model it is.

tinfoil hat! :merli:

Wonder how the skyline would look wrapped in al-foil ;)

That's what we thought may happen, apparently it use to happen years ago but probably not as frequently now because they can just defect you on the spot much easier

I got pulled over by the 'Fatal Five' in the back of moss st one afternoon and one of the cops was very interested in finding out information about my car. Then he proceeded to pull out a 1.5" (wouldn't be exaggerating) book that he had been compiling and he should be all the information he's collected on imports...

Had someone check into it though and there's nothing logged in a database etc... so unless it hasn't come through yet, all is good ;)

Cops do odd things, its in their natur., I've had them do illegal u bolts and speed to catch up with me just to breathalys and licence check me :rant:

I doubt it's a part of an elaborate hoon scheme but then again I could be wrong and they're all secretly scouting all our cars, and checking out everyone's shed one by one.... Because Dom you know they can't lose again

I passed a Transport Inspection Station that was sneakily hidden on a back road a few months back, they were busy with a few other cars but as I drove past I caught the guys eye and he eyeballed the back of my car and took his notebook out, obviously writing my rego down, luckily enough, nothing came of it..

dam hoons doing donuts in the local streets are putting the responsible drivers under increased watch and investigations.

Far as I'm concerned if no defect was given on the spot how can there be a defect. What society needs is a uproar from us the people against the government and the police and make it clear we are gonna roll over and take their shat anymore.

Some people just want to see the world burn.

      Returning after a long time!

      By Shizu · Posted

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
