I was meeting up with a few friends at Crown this afternoon. Wanted to go back early but the conversations dragged on & b4 I knew it, it was 12 am!! So i left crown & decided to travel by Toorak Rd, thinking it would be 'safe'.

Dead wrong. When I got to near the intersection of Toorak & Chapel St, I saw in the distance some flashing blue lights. Also the traffic suddenly slowed down. I immediately turn off into one of the lanes and managed to find a way past the Road block.

Going up Toorak road, I "bumped" into a copper who out of his car, dunno what he was doing there but luckily nothing happened. I quickly left Toorak Rd & made my way into princess highway.

This was when the nightmare began. Approaching near carnegie, I saw blue flashing lights at the other side of the road. I slowed down, & when I drove past, I saw a R33 Skyline being pulled over by 2 Biker Cops!

I drove further up the road, and another Biker Cop came the other direction! A couple of minutes later, another Police car followed by!!

That's not all! Finally, when i was just about to reach home, again, on the other side of the road, was flashing blue lights! An unmarked Police Car stopped a Commodore.... I was feeling scared!!

By some miracle, I managed to reach home and write this without any incident! I wasn't stopped, but I learnt a lesson today : Be very very careful when u drive ur skyline or import car on Friday Night!!

ps I was NOT drinking or on drugs or speeding or hooning.

THat's it. Victoria is officially the WORST STATE to drive an import car. Take a look at he threads in the VIctoria Forum! One after another telling people they got defected etc etc etc.

Damn it! What can we do??! We are being targeted like criminals!!

Nismo32R, as for your qn about the EPA, I don't think you need an RWC, but you have to remove your AVC-R & make sure everything is in order. That means a quiet exhuast, No atmo-venting BOV, only 1 air intake, etc etc.

Can someone explain to me why the cops are out in full force catching imports? Who do u think are giving them the instructions?? Bracks himself??

i got an EPA today on the way to a cafe on the Chapel St.....as i almost got there...a cop stopped me and checked out my car...and luckily all he could find was AVCR as my car looks very standard....oh well....never go out again on friday nite

I was on a cruise with a few mates in their VL's and we were parked at Princess Hwy opposite Hungry Jacks (Near Warrigal Rd). We had one cop car drive up and ask a few questions, one of my mates got pulled away and given a defect notice and then told us the officers had called down back up (they called it Team U).

I had never heard of this "Team U" before, then they told me.. it's some squad of police which take pleasure in handing out canary's.. Bang!! Was I out of there and so was about another 6 or so cars.

As I then drove down the Highway towards St Kilda, the amount of bacon I saw was massive, within about 10min I saw 4 cop cars each on different sections of the Highway pulling people over.

These guys should give us modified car owners a break.. we spend money on our cars in presentation and performance, and performance does include bigger brakes and better handling suspension.

Will we ever get these cops off our backs?

They will NEVER leave us alone.... at least not for now. In light of the seriousness of the molestation of us import car drivers from the cops, I propose a DEFECTED Forum category be established in this SAU Forum. No Joke.

Yo PRESA, what time did you guys park near Hungry Jacks? I drove by at about 1am, lucky no cops were there

guys i was headed down dandy way, just doing work shit, and low and behold i had a count of 27 coppers, not only on bikes, unmarked but in squad cars aswell...

why is it that because we spend time and have pride in what we drive, that we get victimised by the police, just for having a nice car, that yeah are weapons and bullets as they call them... that it gives them every right to continually harass us...

its getting to the point where u either take ur car off the road, or go to a different state, atleast in QLD we got a massive break from the police, but down here, ive been only but harassed the almighty shit out of, and ive only been down here a week maybe 2.... its getting ludacrist, there should be a band of people that have the knowledge of what RIGHTS we do have, and make it damn clear, that they are there for our defence, if infact we got pulled for not doing anything, if it was to our own fault then we just have to deal with it.... otherwise theres never gunna be a stop to this....

keep a record of what their names are, and if its the same copper or their side kick that pull you over in more than once a week... start logging it all and putting in complaints for police harassment...

haha.....yeah.....QLD is like a Heaven for all Jap Import Owners.....i never get defected, EPA by police in QLD in past 8 years, but only speeding and not having a plate in the front...

i guess we just need to stay at home on friday nite or get a normal car as a spare to drive around

I was not so lucky as you my fellow skyline brother! I got the full arse ram last night, also doing no drugs, drinking, speeding or breaking any traffic laws (If they were really concerned about getting unraodworthy cars off the streets then pull over that damn shitbox VC commodore blowing smoke and cracked windsheild)

I was coming down Dandenong Road at about 8:00pm last night, sun was still high... perfect conditions actually for a drive. So I get under the twisty bridge and I 'm behind a 4WD doing 65-70km's and I stay behind the whole way up the long straight cops are radar pointing just B4 the shell (usual spot) I drive past and 40 seconds later I getting a ****ing full roadworthy test.

Glad you made it through the gauntlet... bastard :)

Other weird thing he said was "Am I XXXGTR from the nissansilvia.com forums, cause of my plates???? WTF has that got to do with anything + I'M NOT A MEMBER...

yeah, there was a booze bus in stkilda, on that road that goes between queens road and fitrzroy st. And then when we drove past that, some coppa had pulled over some tool in some shitbox car.

was glad i was driving the magna rather than the skyline, i'll tell u that. I even got waved through the booze bus

Saw about 2 or 3 marked police cars on way home on nepean hwy also.

Enough POLICE THREADS?? So we're going to pretend nothing of these ever happened??!

Come on mate, this is like an education to all import car drivers in Victoria, the place to be defected. Everyone here must understand the vendetta the cops have against us, whether u are driving a fully modded R34 GTR V-SPEC II or a simple 4 Dr R32 Non Turbo R32 GTS.

In fact, there should be more threads like these. So that everyone will wake up to the seriousness of this matter. It's really beginning to feel like Victoria is similar to the then Nazi Germany. You are persecuted just because you are a Jew.

Guys, its melb... you drove near chaps and the eastern.

What do you expect?

enough POLICE THREADS, we are getting a bit tired of them. Everyone knows they are out and revenue raising.

thanks - ash

Yo PRESA, what time did you guys park near Hungry Jacks? I drove by at about 1am, lucky no cops were there

We were there probably just after 1am, parked there for no longer than 5min till we had one cop van pull up and start to hassle us cos there was hungry jacks rubbish on the floor, then he dug into us and the cars.

I got out of there.. and being in the line of cars to drive out by the time i got onto the highway i looked behind me and there were another 2 cop cars showed up.

It's really stupid how this system works with the cops, although I guess you can't blaim them when most P platers hoping into an import suddenly begin to think they are car racers.

not mate we are not going to pretent it doesnt happen

few things to think about

1) Its thier job, and yes, sometimes it is revenue raising

2) When are most people out/drinking etc? Fri/sat nights. Again, they are doing thier job.

3) If your new to the forums, great, there have been enough police threads of late and on other forums too.

4) IF you dont know about police by now, you must be living in a cave.

5) The areas you drove down... what do you expect?.

In all hoensty, driving where police are going to be (because its a fri/sat night) of course your going to see cops. Thinking you wont, or being surprised that you do is totally ignorant.

They dont just hassle skyline drivers, anyone with a modded car gets hassled.

Go for a walk down chaps one night if you want. Go there is a shitbox and get out and have a look at what they pull over.

Have a read of this if you do know your right:

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
