Manitoba Skyline Owners

[Impul]

BinDeal, how have I put a target on my head? My car looks completely stock from there viewing point, but they saw it was rhd and chose to follow me. I was driving completely normal, not speeding, not rolling through the stop sign, not ripping my car from the stop.

Out of the 2 cars in front of me at the stop sign, and the 3 cars behind me, they chose to follow my car. The only thing that stood out was my car is rhd, do I have to be any ******* clearer as to why I got followed?

When they followed me the only noticable infraction was the exhaust and so I got pulled over then inspected.

[BinDeal]

So than you guys explain to me why some RHDs are getting pulled over left and right, while some are left alone?

[Impul]

It depends who you get pulled over by, more and more police officers are being trained about vehicle infractions. I thought I wouldnt get pulled over, just like you. Soon, youll get pulled over like a large amount of us here.

[BinDeal]

I too, know a large amount of RHDs that have not been harassed. So there must be something wrong. I have driven beside them, infront, etc. and have not been pulled over. I know when I do get pulled over, I'll will have to change stuff to pass, but that will not stop me from driving a RHD, and soon we'll be getting a 3rd RHD to drive all year round. The police can get all the training they want about vehicle infractions, and I'll keep on getting the problem solved, and keep on driving my RHD cars. Like a cat and mouse game.

Age... guarantee it, they know as an adult you probably won't fight back at all, they see someone my age and think they can bully us. I'm staying rhd, the skyline is almost sold, so I'm getting an evo4, but you can get dot lights that fit for it, so my life won't be hell.

How often had you guys had your DOT stamps checked when you get pulled over? The one time I've been pulled over they didn't check that or even ANYTHING to do with having it legal here (seatbelts, tail lights, side markers, etc) I got pulled over ONLY because my fuse for my brake lights blew while I was driving in front of them on my way to Canadian Tire. Oh, I forgot, because my brake lights were burnt out, they checked my other bulbs only to make sure they worked, which they all did. Didn't check for side markers or DOT stamps and sent me on my way with a ticket for burnt out tail lights, which he misspelled my name in so it got thrown out anyway. He wasn't even being a **** or anything. And my 2009 Lancer doesn't even have stock DOT approved lights, so why is that legal and our Skyline OEM lights aren't "worthy" of being on out streets?

[Tony-R32]

pretty sure the oem lights on the new lancers have the dot markings on the inside...like somewhere on the back of the housing.

BinDeal took off his dodge caravan lights and said they didn't have a dot stamp anywhere lol.

When I was looking for replacement corner lights, I contemplated chrysler intrepids as they weren't terrible, those ones also didn't have stamps on the lens, only on the back of the housing.

[BongRips]

Well, I'll find out in the spring about the stamps on the lancer headlights at least in the spring as I have to replace the front bumper and a headlight. I wanna go back to oem lights just so they fit and look proper.

Catching up...

@rak: Nice, Reenders Square?

Lame that happened to Stefan.
If he needs help, I'll grab the clutch pedal assembly.

$550 usd is a bit much and why should I spend that myself and have the other ten Skyline owners ride my coat tails?

I'd buy it.

I don't know what you guys do or did, but in the 6 years of driving RHDs in summer daily, we have never been pulled over or hassled.

Ditto. My car's still ripped up from the last time you guys saw it (finally got the cash to have it finished this spring! ^_^ ). Still, I'm knocking on my wood and keeping my luck. Maybe it's the particular areas that we drive in?

So than you guys explain to me why some RHDs are getting pulled over left and right, while some are left alone?

Cause mine's pretty? :P

[Tony-R32]

[BongRips]

People still have their cars out?! I tried to take mine out a week or two ago and didn't even make it 15 feet before getting stuck. 4 seconds of excitement turned into 4 hours of pushing and pulling that car out of there

[NeptuneGTR]

Just saw a white r33 gts the other day. wish summer would come sooner arghhhh
