COPS**, how often do they pull you over?
So...
How often do you guys get pulled over by the cops? Especially those of you that live around Southern Cali I have a Stock looking s13 with a Sr, Never get pulled over. Will installing a body kit increase the chances of getting pulled over and getting my hood popped open?

I would say yes. The purpose of that stuff is to get more attention to yourself, even from unwanted sources such as cops and thieves. Cops tend to stereotype body kits and big-loud shinny mufflers with racer boys in this state.
I have a white S14 zenki on work wheels and oem lip with a very silent 3" exhaust (rs*r Exmag with added resonator and 3" cat) and I never get any attention from the cops even when I drive past them. It also depends on how you drive. |

When I first had my car I had a Straight pipe, but I drive speed limit so I never got pulled over or maybe I was just lucky. |

The cat is a modified 3" magnaflow. The resonator is a 3" straight through Dynomax I believe which i welded before the main RSR muffler. I have a turbo KA-T so that helps keep the sound tamed. At freeway speeds Im dead silent, my exhaust doesn't even drone, I can hear my wheels more. At WOT it does open up but its still not loud by any means. Rasp free baby!

I used to get pulled over in my Z33 every so often, prolly 5 times in 5 years.. So far only once in my S14 out of the past 4 years. And no ticket.. And yeah I had 2 sports cars at one time..

I got pulled over in my old coupe that was dropped with a Silvia conversion. I was going 85 in a 65 but thats besides the point. Got told to pop my hood so he could look at my stock ass KA. Then he dropped down flat on the ground to check if I had a catalytic converter. Lol

I'm by San Diego.
The first night I got my stock KA24E hatch, I got pulled over. His reasoning was fair, my third brake light was out as well as speeding 5mph over. I showed him my broken speedometer and he let me go. It doesn't help that I don't have a front bumper either with a cracked windshield. Really, just try to make your 240sx look like every other car. Get all your legal stuff out like front license plate and non-Folgers can exhaust and you should be golden. All my friends who drive SR's tell me to get one too, but I'm sketched out about cops |

Yep the only imports they might profiling are the ones that look sketch and sound like shit. (Read different color body panels, straight pipes, hondas with shitty exhaust, etc)

I drove a stroker evo with test pipes and full 3" exhaust and an open dump here in San Francisco. Drove by cops every day. There's even a police station at the local mall that I frequent. Didn't get bothered once. Follow the speed limit, don't drive like a jackass, and you decrease your chances of getting pulled over by a shit load. I've seen dumbasses here with 240s that blast by cops with their exhaust like they don't give a fuck. After the cop lights them up I'm sure they say "omg guyz i got pulled over". Well no shit, you have a loud exhaust that smell strongly of gas, and blasted by that cop that was obviously right there. I wonder why you got pulled over? I guess driving responsibly is impossible for all the 16 year old high school freshmen getting these cars.

Right hand drive cars around here get a lot of attention from cops because they rarely see them. Most cops think they're illegal (), but it all depends on how you drive...the older fellows I know that drive them and drive them "quietly" (no ripping around, speed limits, no stupid lane changes) rarely get ticketed, let alone pulled over. the kids (I am one myself but I tend to drive like an old man) that rip around and bounce off the rev limiter get pulled over left right and centre. doesnt matter if youre driving a bone stock impreza or a straight piped RB240. Attitude when driving is everything, nevermind not giving cops smart ass answers when they do pull you over (or bitching about it). mind you, the older guys i mentioned, all drive highly modded Skylines, most of them stock looking, all pushing big power numbers (some of them even riced out (google "skyline R32 pinky)). Maturity (driving and in conversation) counts my friends.

I enjoy driving in the Twin Cites for the most part, most the troopers on the highway don't care to much about your car, as long as your not being stupid. Rolled down 35 for at least a half mile right along side one, he didn't care about anything on the car. Although I can't say the same for the cops in the suburbs, also depends on what time of day your driving around at, much more likely to be pulled over at night.

If your exterior/exhaust screams out pull me over, you increase your chances significantly no matter where you are. If you wanted to, you can casually drive any engine swap with all emissions and/or a proper exhaust and not get pulled over (assuming it's a legally registered vehicle).
Be obnoxious, get treated like you are. |

Twice in 5 years, both in a period of 3 months because of a modified exhaust (2.5 catback on a stock KA with a test pipe), I've had 3 S13's and all of them pretty low with tires tuckin' like most of the members say, if you obey all of the traffic laws you don't have anything to worry about. I do drive a lot too, I live in the Los Angeles area and head up to Sacramento probably once every other month to visit my family.

I live in a tiny town in FL where the cops are pretty chill, but bored...
Went to go get gas at about midnight. Cop pulls me over as I'm turning into the station. Cop: *walks up to my window, looks at me, looks at the car and back to me* Ummmmm... everything about this car is illegal. Me: sorry? Just getting gas and then heading back to the shop. Cop: Don't let me see you driving this thing again. Oh, and that's a beautiful piece of machinery. Even painted with all the body panels on, I've been pulled over twice in the last few months. Both times a cop floored it to catch up to me (I was doing the limit), hung out on my ass for a few miles, then pulled me over. The reason? License plate light out. I finally fixed it, but I'm sure they'll find a new reason to pull me over soon.

if your car is loud and looks janky, IE rattle can, zipties, herra stickers, ect.
Your chances of getting pulled over will be high. I drove my cleanly "modded" TT z32 with open cut outs,for over 2 years and was only pulled over once do to having 5% tint. Other then that I was never looked at . my s13 is pretty much stock looking so that never gets looks either |

i say if you have a lot of stickers, low, and have a loud exhaust your chances of getting pulled over are pretty high
i have an hks hi power so its pretty big and shiny but i drive like a grandma aha only been pulled over once so far because of my exhaust but the cop didnt give me a ticket since i was joking around with him aha just be cool with the cop and he shouldn't give you a hassle and they pretty much only pull you over by how you drive, so drive "normally"... |
