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.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
