Hey Peoples

I was at knox city on last friday night, meeting up with some friends and the worst thing happened. I'd parked my car and got out of it, locked it and started to walk away. I got about 2 car lenths when an unmarked silver ford pulled up next to me and "requested" i follow him. Not having much choice i went along with it, cursing under my breath. He took me to this car park and there were heaps of cops their. Not to mention all the other done up cars. The booked me for literally anything they possibly could. I got the obvious Power 2 Weight ratio fine, Canaryed for the lack of tyre tread on my rear wheels, a light on my licence plate was blown, front bar not mounted properly because of the knob in the hyundai who side swiped me and a couple other minor things.

Then some fat dude came over, he was from epa, and he tested my exhaust system, sigh, got done for that to, then as they where going through under the hood, epa decided that my blitz bov wasn't an appropriate item.

So all in all, wat a great night, i had to walk home cause my car was officially unroadworthy, and carryed 7 different pieces of paper. Those being the fines / canarys etc. :cheers:

Thats not bad luck. thats retarted! Why the hell would you go down to knox on a friday night in a car you know your not ment to be driving. You get no sympathy from me.

I think it's foolish to be driving a car over the power/weight restriction on your P's, but it's a bit unfair to have parked your car and locked it... walking away and then get asked to go back to your car and drive over to a cop defect station. I would have flat out refused to go back to the car. Then you should have rang your Dad or someone with a full license to come get the car :cheers: haha

I think you got done very hard by the sound of it... lesson learnt hey?

fark that!! you should be able to drive anywhere you want anytime you want within reason!! fair enough you got done on ur P's though. some may call it harassment, i mean you werent even in your car for farks sakes!! id seriously consider writing to the ombudsman?? and complain about this incident. yeah as GTTR34 said, should have refused to go back, tell them that your gonna ring your lawyer first before you do anything (always nice to have a lawyer in the family) and get your dad to pick up the car.

I think you should have a word with a solicitor. I don't think they are entitled to "follow me" to you - they need to have you chance upon their setup. Otherwise the cops would simply "please follow me to the booze bus 2 km out of your way".

if you are out of your car walking away, there is no way the cops can make you get back in it and take you to a roadworthy inspection....and no way can they canary your car while its locked and you are not present.....

i would have ignored him and not said a word and just kept walking!!!!

What a shifty (unt! Making people get back in their cars and drive to a defect station? :confused: Surely the coppers have better things to do?

Being defected for a dodgy bumper and number plate light is nothing short of rediculous. They could probably put more than half the cars in the world off the road if this is serious.

I'm just glad I dont live anywhere near knox.

The power 2 weight ratio fine was $107. You dont loose any demerit points and they dont keep a record of it, so you cant get in trouble for being caught more than once. I know cause its not the first one in my car. lol.

Usaully i wouldn't dare go to knox in the r33 on thur, fri or sat nights. Cause it just aint worth it, but i was at a mates house and it was on the way home so i thought i'd stop and say hi to some friends. Screw them, not going out of my way to see them again. lol. It's all fixed and back on the road anyways.

I live less than a km away from Knox in vermont south. Pettet in his silver XR8 falcon obviously got you. But you know i was thinking about this the other day as I go to knox frequently - why arnt all these idiots hooning around Knox in skylines, soarers, WRXs etc on there Ps being pulled over and while Pettets home base is right opposite the shopping center. Stupid move.

No wonder I got harrased after seeing the way these guys show off around knox. But ohh well, I have my company car which a cop freindly camry.

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
