Sounds like late night shoot-em-ups will be common place soon, and my place is opposite the industrial estate frequented by drifters... Time for steel plate fencing?

sorry..... need to bin my straight pipes for a muffler :ph34r:

Oooooo create cardboard cars out of boxes and make engine/flutter noises pretending to drive them around...

Or get remote control drift cars and drive them around the area, doing burnouts etc. hehe...

lets do it. we can chip in to hire a bus too.

I've worked about 15 extra TAC funded shifts with TMU this year and not one single member has even had a second look at an import to simply pull over. They generally only pull someone over they have found doing something wrong to fine.

I can't believe how many stupid drivers there are out there, repeat drink drivers, suspended, disqualified I have almost impounded a car in each of those shifts for one of those or 45k+ over speed limit.

Eh don't be a dickhead on the road or to police and you'll be fine, not once in the 4 years of owning a import have i ever been pulled over for driving a import.

Yes i've been pulled while in my r33 but i was at fault [ Driving more than 100m in a bus lane ]

really?

1. i turn out of my house to get cat food for a starving cat, and i get pulled over for shits and giggles.

2. i got pulled over recently just for the cop to tell me how many demerit points i've got.

both times, i wasn't even speeding.

My bad, everyone's outlook on life should be limited to your experience.

Righto.

I spose all the times ive been pulled over, chased through traffic minding my own business drving like miss daisy was because they thought I was a drug dealer and not because of the car :rollseyes:

Lol or getting pulled over on Christmas Day for shits n giggles, then again a year later by 3 cop cars and 7 officers to tell me they thought my plates were home made? Both times doing nothing.

Guess I should stop being a dick to cops

Maybe we're driving too slow, being under the speed limit and all? I too was driving 5km/h slower than everyone else when Knox TMU went through 4 red light intersections to pull me over and state that they were pulling over anything with 4 round lights today (somehow I think the Euro Accords were safe). Yes, driving sensibly must be the issue at hand here.

I don't even get looked at in the merc, I even cut one of the hwy patrol off the other day without realizing and still nothing

lol he'd prolly apologise to you

Hahaha, I used to believe that for about 3 years. Up until this year... even a month ago.

Friday night, went out with a bunch of mates, on the way home on Springvale Road, crossing Princes Hwy, saw a bunch of cars on there at about 1am, so I thought I'll go have a look.

Turned left towards Sandown, doing the speed limit, just looking at other cars, before I got past the 7/11, a highway petrol was sitting on the side of the road. Drove past him doing speed limit, then he pulled out, and while I was doing a legal U-turn along with a few other cars, he cut off 2 cars in front of me just to pull me over...

Got told to pop my bonnet, I was polite and all, they checked everything, closed my bonnet and defected me for height..... 90mm?

So to those who thinks be nice and don't break the law and you'll be fine... That's a big fat lie!

It's sad that people don't believe it until it actually happens to them, but worse is people telling other import owners they must be acting up to receive a defect.

Have more faith in your online enthusiast friends than police with quotas to meet. Most of us have no reason to lie about police activity and would take it on the chin if we were doing something deserving of over-handed tactics.

My import cars are long gone.

Reason? Pulled up 16 times in r33 and s15. Not once was i doing anything wrong, not once did i lose a point.

One officer said to me "look at the car you drive" which tella you all you need to know.

Im a Mature age driver with clean driving record (12 points).

So that crap do the right thing and you will be okay is rubbish.

What will essentially happen here, is a stake out where no industrial drifters turn up, so you have a bunch of bored out of their brains police standing in designated areas for 3 hours, who need to show that the operation was a success. Along come the hapless enthusiasts meeting for a cruise...bam...they find their scapegoat and something to do for the next 2 hours because writing defects for ridiculously arbitrary items is better than standing around, waiting hours for people who do illegal shit to turn up...and never come...because VicPol intelligence is an oxymoron.

mother of god! it's..... perfect....

    • It cost me $2900 all up for a local trailer / towbar place to supply and install. I did think it was a bit steep initially but after all the work involved and seeing the final result I think its well justified.  Hardest part was finding someone willing to customize and fit it up with trial and error basically. Whereabouts are you located? - I had my work done locally in Wangara.
    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
