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


Recommended Posts

Only time I ever got pulled over in my R32 was for doing an U-Turn at the lights. The undercover cop was a complete prick, but didnt inspect the car.

Havent been pulled over yet in my s13..i expect to though. Silvias are cop bait.

The police are much more polite than in most countries ive seen, especially places like the US. We have it good, we just have to put up with the conservative crap like not being allowed to have a low car, or mirror tint, or tyres extending outside the guards...they want everyone to drive hyundais

the most embaressing time was being pulled over on James St in NB no less with sirens on and it was the weekend... needless to say i was centre of attention for awhile... didnt get a yellow though... only time in 2 yrs

now i got Ceffy its all good :D

On a SAU cruise on West Coast Hwy got told to tell everyone to slow down. It was pretty funny sitting there in a side st watching everyone else going past in the rear view mirror

Yeah, and they only let you off cause your an old bugger:p

Talk about hypocrisy :flamer:

Had my R32 for a couple of months now, haven't been pulled over yet and driven past plenty of cops, even overtaking them. Haven't done anything really illegal near cops (ie stayed within 10kmh of the speed limit). Doesn't really matter anyway, my cars all legal. As long as you know the rules then you should be ok, as long as your car is legal.

Got pulled over more in the Saab 9000 i used to drive, but i deserved that :(

I'm wondering whether people have ever actually been pulled over for doing nothing.

Paul, how many times have you actually been defected????

Guys, you dont know how good you have it, here in SA, people get defected for stock BOV - in fact, I dont know of anyone that has been pulled over, had bonnet lifted and not defected. Hell, one girl got defected for her stock BOV, they could hear it because of the pod - she offered to lift the bonnet, but the cop told her not to and gave her the defect anyway.

My hint for not getting noticed (as told to me by a cop who is a mate) is dont cruise Kings Park, NB, Freo etc, and dont do circle work in car parks:p

Thank god I will be back in WA by the end of the year:)

Update: Another random pullover for me, on the way back from Oktoberfest :P

Cops were pretty good, after 2 pints I only blew 0.02, they mentioned my front number plate and said I had to fix it, no mention of tint or anything.....

Then I was let go... Hooray for Swan Valley coppers!

i got pulled over, last thursday in my subi. just been playing pool and some little **** stole my front number plate. i was dropping a mate home and we went past a cop car. he pulled a 180 and pulled me up.

'' excuse me sir, are u aware that u do not have a front number plate?''

'' righttttt'' and i started to laugh''

he didn't find it funny. he was aight bout it but, just told me to get one tomorrow and i was on my way. still havn't been pulled up in my 31 yet.

Steve, Been pulled over yellow stickered 7 times, been pulled over heaps more:( Glad your coming back to WA, make sure we catch-up when your back:D

How the hell do you get a sticker removed from your car???? God it took me over a week to get the turbo/manifold/plenum off the skyline, not to mention all the other bits.

I will definately be in touch when I get back:)

My darling friend Melki decided that she wanted Maccas last night and got me to swerve across three lanesof traffic to get it - then shouted cops! The cops were sitting in Maccas carpark ..... but they didnt budge - while sitting in drive thru i saw 2 cars go speeding past them and still they didnt budge ..... mustve been giving each other :69: or something .... should be more cops like that :D

Haha, I leave all the stuff on, and I get it passed;)

I'll let you know how when you get here:D

there needs to be more cops like this:

a few nights after getting my car back on the road (RB25 engine conversion in S13) - still yet to register the new engine with the car.. i was driving back from a cruise along morley drive... went past tuart maccas - 2 cop cars turb right and follow me, one cop car drives past me... the other sitting up my ass - here i'm thinking "fkn great... wheres the lube". i tried to turn right at a set of lights to see if they followed - and they did..

20 meters up the road he puts his lights on... i turn the car off whilst rolling so i come to a stop without the car running (exhaust was way to loud... and the Rotational Idle didnt help at all).. coppa gets out... bla bla bla pop bonnet - i did... his first words were.. quote: "Ahh its not everyday you see a RB25 in a S13 silvia"... fk!! get prepared for penetration..

he asks for permits and i say i only just got it out and i'm licensing it on monday (bullshit), he walks around the car and spots the brake conversion... FK !!!, the computer was all over the passenger floor... FK !!!!

i'm glad he didnt check the 2 bald stock tyres in the boot :D..

but apart from that he just said stay honest and take the car over the pits monday to have the engine registered!!

thanks ****... no sticker :tops:

what a fkn champion! - but this cop new his shit hey.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
