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

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/west/melbourne-residents-fed-up-with-hoons-in-their-streets/story-fngnvmj7-1226632009788

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.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
