I suggest you guys stop talking to this poof JAPCAB, when i was with this chick at some look out i saw him dogging some bloke out the window. I went to hit him but he speed of with his pants down the poof

HAHAHAHA you think japcab was trying to come onto petite and that how the canary ended up happening???? hehehhee

sounds really bad guys My heart goes out to you. Here in adelaide the coppers are just as bad. my car is quite modde BUT to the untrained eye you would never pick it, goty pulled over by a copper down by the bay and he came running up to the car yelling "pull over and pop your bonnet", I did so and he said " you have blow off valve" I replied yes i have a factory blow off valve' he said ' its against ADR to have a blow off valve " I said " with all due respect do you know what you are on about?" all late model turbo cars have factory bov's " he didnt know what to say and walked off.

NOw that was a clear case of harrassment BUT if you handle the situation right you will not have any dramas if you know your shit.

Here's an article from last Sundays Age.

http://theage.com.au/articles/2004/09/05/1...4322623513.html

This particular officer is Frankston's version of Officer Pettiet.

I have received a few "random inspections" and bulls**t defects from this officer. I don't condone what was done, especially in front of his wife and child, but it just goes to show that the saying "nice things happen to nice people" works the other way as well.

I got pulled over right out the front of Knox police station a couple of days after I picked up my car Dont know if it was this cop your all talking about but as the car was fresh from a dealer it was roadworthy no problem there the problem came when he did the licence check- the dealer still hadnt put the forms into vic roads so technically it was still registered to them thats where all the fun started. Had the paperwork from the sale in the glovebox but it still took about 15 min to convince him it was my car.

See what i mean its total bullshit....this guy is just driving along normally...happens to drive past knox cop shop and because he is driving a skyline he gets pulled over for no reason. . . . same thing happens to the canary yellow VL turbos

I have a mate who was pulled over by the Officer in question, my mate drives a bt1 vlt. Got away without a defect or epa. He was told to get some bits engineered, and it would be fine.

So I dont know, i have a theory it comes down to a few things

1. P Plates

2. Ride height - I have a theory that if they cant see an obvious issue with height, they will be less inclined pulling you over and attempting to find something else. If they can see it might be too low, they know they have you on something already.

3. Driving attitude.

4. personalised plates

I guess you can be unlucky. But IMO, end of the day it is only a car, and it is only money. You cant take either one with you when you die.

I have had my car almost 2 years, never been pulled over or epa'ed. Maybe i have just been lucky. That said i will prob get pulled straight away hehe.

Personalised Plates? How on earth would these play a part in making your car defective... more so, why would these get you pulled over?

I could understand derogatory terms/phrases would get a high amount of interest, but, it is my understanding that VicRoads, RTA, et al have a screening process to nut out ppl who would try and register 'banned' make-ups. I have heard, on these forums, of an instance where someone had something on their plates which was eventually ordered stripped from the car due to public 'outcry'.. however, these instances far outweigh the norm...

Plus anyone who would take the path of getting a 'COPSUX', '***YOU' type of plate, then yeah, they deserve all the 'attention' they get from the law.

Anywhos...

Haz that article is crazy, just showes that he could have been an asshole cop and obviously pissed off teh wrong people. It also shows you what does happen if you do piss off the wrong people and most importantly "what goes around comes around".

You never know this Pettiet character may be named after something on his body being Pettiet, and now he's angry at the whole world for it. I do think something may happen if he does piss too many or the wrong people off!

take it easy

I didnt mean it would make the car defective, they just stand out more and attract more attention. I agree that negative attention is unfair.

It is easier for people to remember cars with personalised plates compared with cars with general issue ones.

whoa lot of stuff to read

in regards to this officer, yeah he is pretty strict...but he kinda has a right to be in a way. In terms of givin out dodge defectives, yer thats not on. in terms of power to weight, i know this dude is really tight on it, but i guesssss he does have a point. wat i wanna ask him in reference to P/W is why they dont include driver weight into it, because if the p plater is in question, their weight becomes part of the cars weight, i dunno. just havin a rant

Azron: personalised plates man, it attracts attention. when i had normal plates, nothin happened. as soon as i got personal plates, i been pulled over heaps. all abotu attention sadly

LAST THING guys, be careful wat u say in these forums, because i know 100% they do read these....so just watch out

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
