Random pull overs.. when were you last pulled over?


Recommended Posts

I was wondering how often W.A skyline drivers are getting pulled over these days whilst driving along minding their own business... are the cops still going nuts with yellow stickers or have they toned down a bit? What areas do you think are police hot spots?

It seems most the pullovers are late at night. What sort of areas were you guys in when pulled over? Has anyone been pulled over during peak hour before?

First time I was pulled up on west coast drive in north beach in the middle of the day.

Second time was on the Boulevard in Floreat at about 8pm

I was pulled over after picking my car up from the previous owner. I had owned the car less than 5 minutes.

In all i had 3 pullovers and checks done. All were routine license checks that ended up with my bonnet up. No yellows were issued... Also 2 were afternoon and 1 was night.

All times ive been pulled over ive deserved it ........ everytime ive never been asked to pop my bonnet.

Even had police drive my car and were rather complimentry about it after :D

0 yellows *touch wood*

hmmm reminds me - gotta work out how many points are left on my license ..... lost 4 points the other day to a police officer who was hiding in someones front yard behind their shrub in an unmarked car with a radar at 9am on a saturday morning ..... prick!

i found that when attending car cruise's you up your chances 100 fold of getting pulled over and defected. when just normal driving the police dont seam to have a problem at all as long as your not attracting attention to yourself.

If only that were true, the vast majority of time I haven't been on a cruise, and just been sitting in traffic. The cops single me out from all the rest, just cause it's an import:(

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
