Lol nothing random about that.... Lucky your car is a nice stealth colour :blink:

Under the yellow street lights, my car looks white too :P

Charles it's because you're a dodgy Asian lol

We the same, you're just a little darker haha

Here are some of my stats: full license, intact.

Honda Euro-owned 3 years-0 random checks.

Skyline 33-owned 1 yr- 9 "random" checks.

S15-owned 3 months- 4 "random" checks with 2 EPA

mr2 turbo-owned 5 monts- 1 random check

Yamaha r1 motorbike-5 "random" checks.

So basically, if its import, sports car, you will be picked on. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

Not true! Haha. Here's my stats.

P Plates acquired in 2010 September. Cars owned along with 'checks';

Toyota Supra 7MGTE - 0 Checks.

Mitsubishi Lancer GSR 93' 1.8L Turbo - 0 Checks.

Toyota Mark 2 Jzx100 - 0 Checks.

Nissan Silvia S15 Sr20DET - 2 Pull overs, Busted for driving a turbo on P's and no P Plates the second time. Currently on 1 point challenge to date.

R32 Skyline Gts-t - 0 Checks so far :D.

S15 wasn't coincidence. It's focused hard by police :(.

Yesterday the skyline got bretho'd 3 times...

In Bendigo, they were doing everyone going into town in the morning... 10am
In Echuca, they were doing everyone going out of town just after lunch... 12pm
In Heathcote, they were pulling cars into a 4 car lineup in a service lane... Pulled in 4 cars, waved others through, pulled me in even though the lane was full so we had to wait... Once the other 4 cars moved on, I moved up to #1 and they pulled 3 more in behind me.

I've got zero problems with this... in Heathcote they had a HWP guy standing there typing rego's into a laptop (presumably checking for unrego, unlicenced or persons of interest linked to the car)

Good on them for checking for drink drivers so strongly on long weekend... On the other end of the stick, the gf overtook a truck at 149km/h (max on the PFC) because she wasn't used to acceleration... I lold.

On the other end of the stick, the gf overtook a truck at 149km/h (max on the PFC) because she wasn't used to acceleration... I lold.

I did that on the way home from buller... drove the whole way under the limit.. overtook 1 car and BAM... busted...

luckily the guy was a nice country copper and once we chatted about our mutual dislike for HWP he dropped it down to 119 for me.

Funny, since I've stopped driving my R33, I no longer get the Big Bopper (Coppers) seeing a white skyline & following me through traffic for a couple of km's before pulling me over.

Only twice have I been pulled over now in 3 yrs of Commondore driving:

1) 2010 - No Plates by HWP (when I bought it - had a temp.reg sticker - Legit pull-over reason I'll admit)

2) 2013 - Tail-Lamp out by motorbike cop in the Cardinia/Dandy roaming taskforce.

In the Skyline I once had HWP see me going the other way (@99km/h) on country highway - pull a big U-Turn & overtake 2-3 cars to pull me over - just for being in a Skyline. Anybody who says imports aren't targeted just for being imports is either incapable of rational thought or a D!(kh3ad.

p.s. an ex-country cop I knew at work said: "All the a$$#oles get put in the Highway Patrol car, because none of the other cops can stand being stuck with them for a shift."

I kid you not.

topic has gone somewhat off topic as of late.

did a search and found this

said biltz is ment to end august

"Melbourne has drastically changed - hoons, graffitti, violence - they are all related and need to be looked at urgently."

^

as car enthusiasts are considered as hoons it doesn't paint a good picture

Don't see how those three things are related...

Writers usually use public transport or walk and aren't terribly violent people...

Hoons aren't out to try and hurt people...

The only thing they have in common is the word scapegoat.

My step-uncle works for Whitehorse Council, an area that I used to live in...

They got a heap of complaints from people living on Morack Road because of people doing 60 in a 50 zone... Wide Wide road... So they put in some speed humps along the road... 12(!!!) of them to be precise.

Speed complaints have stopped. Now they get the same people calling up to complain that they don't like the noise of cars going over them and then accelerating after they go over them.

Some people just love to complain... these people also vote, so when it comes up to election time, they make it look like they've done stuff for them.

    • Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.  
    • I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao. 
    • Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.
    • 100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.
    • Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
