Between the time of 8:15am this morning through to 8:40am while taking my sister to work from Coorparoo to Woolloongabba. I happen to see 2x white skylines (different people) get pulled over by the police.

For what reasons, that I'm not sure.

However, it does look as though the police are cracking down this week probably due to the stupid people who have been out there speeding and the amount of drink drivers we have on the roads right now.

But it does give me some idea that they are cracking down on skyline owners after seeing 2 of them pulled over by the police within a small time frame.

This thread is just to let everyone know and to be alert that they seem to be out in force and possibly targeting skyline owners and/or any import type car.

Na this is the worst they have ever been. Went to Bris Yesterday from the SunnyCoast and between burpengary and the turn off to the Airport I saw 8 high patrol cars with radars another 3 candy cars which had caught a car of their own. I then saw 2 4wd radars along that connection road from the bruce highway to the airport. I was nuts

Watching the news last nite, its all got to do with qld's bad road toll this year, beattie even had to do some press conference, maybe the've got more cops off holidays so i'm guessing this order has come from the top to crack down on speeding / dangerous driving / drunk driving- guess who fits all those demographics - young male drivers who own imports :starwars:

Although i was out driving yesterday and didn't see one....

Pretty typical for that stretch of highway though........

But still I think the police will be out in force just because there is more traffic on the roads, meaning that more quota's will need to be filled, meaning that the easiest targets will be hit hard, namely imports.

Be carefull driving and dont do anything that they can easily ping you for, like driving done the road in an import car......... :starwars:

so are you suggesting that we all buy a volvo look a like..... :):starwars: :lol:

best to get a 80's landcruiser, covered in rust, primer, belching smoke, brandishing a rusty bullbar with rod holders and a couple of busted spotties on it, oh and make sure you're shambling home drunk from the pub... these guys are apparently invisible to the cops..... saw it happen all the time up north qld way.. :D:(

Yer i was hit by a white 'D' car on boxing day, on ipswich rd moorooka, i had cars driving past me doing about 80 but he still pulls me over and slaps me a fine for 78 in a 60 zone. tell me can they fine u buy guessing the speed? he didnt have a speed gun or anything. he said he was following me and matched my speed with his.

some cop cars have fixed speed guns in them. im just telling u this so u can maybe ask to see the evidence of your speed as the officer didnt produce anywhen u were stopped. bcoz he mite not have shown u, but had a reading in his car with proof. so just see what u can find out about the fine before u go to the extreme's.

yer thats true, i asked him to show me where he got that speed from he said he used his speedo to get the speed of what i was doing, which i think it total bullshit. specally when there were cars passin me. so are u saying its not worth fighting? how would i find out if he had an 'onboard' speed gun?

my bro in law got pinged by a single cop following him and "matching" his speed to him

funny thing was it was on montague road at west end between vulture st and beesley (like 150 meters) and then down beesley (probably 200 meters)

bro in law saw the cop so wasnt speeding, but the cop came roaring up after him

caught up to him at work and gave him a ticket for 78 in a 60

i cant possibly see how the cop would have had time to match speeds with him, considering the short distances and the distance off the cop was, so hes taking him to court

will be interesting to see what happens . . . . . (court case early jan)

ahahahahahahaha, It's christmas. Deal with it. There are always heaps of cops out this time of year. how hard is it to keep it in your pants for the christmas period? It can't be that hard.

Qld is still the most hoon friendly state in the entire country. Please just behave for the silly season and quit your whining about how the cops are just jealous of your stock r32 gtst.

do you no understand what we are saying? he is pulling this speed out of no where... and for cars to be passin me at the time.. its f%&$ed why should we have to deal with it?

hey, that's super. Take it to court, beat the fine, then come back and tell us all about how you stuck it to the man.

While you're at it stop clinging to the archaic notion of justice.

There is no such thing.

what im saying is find out by ringing up the cops row ho ever u can and see what vehicle he was driving on the day and see if it was fitted with a speed device, maybe also see if they have a recording of the officer that pulled up over (sometimes they have tape recorders in there pockets) try and get all the info u can think of to fight it to make your case stronger, just so if or when i goes to court, u are not wasting your time and money.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
