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.

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

Leave the bodykit off and dont put a loud exhaust. You should be fine.


Oh and don't drive like a ricer.

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

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.

More attention from COPS and THIEVES is enough of a reason to stay stock...+1

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.

This is a dumbass statement. It does not take into account any profiling by police, which of course happens everyday - regardless if you drive a modified 240, EVO, Z33, etc.

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"...

It depends on what city in particular. I live in southern California, Santa Ana to be exact. All they look for is gangster looking people because gang crime is a big one in Santa Ana, so modified cars are not the main priority in my city. In cities like Irvine, gangs or crime are not so abundant so modified cars get hassled more.

I drive like a grandma, but getting a 3" exhaust. I'm guessing you have a HighFlow cat and what kind of resonator do you have.

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.

I live in upstate NY and it really depends. I've been pulled over for stupid reasons and not been pulled over when I really expected to be. I don't drive like an idiot. And I never really rev my car up. With my Ka-T hatch with a straight exhaust I never got a ticket for exhaust. It looked like a normal muffler and wasnt shiny. I have an SC300 now and I got a tint ticket a few weeks ago. I was at a stop light at night and a cop pulled over and waited for me to make my turn. My windows were down and he made me put my windows up to check them.

Pssssht. 7 is my unlucky number.

Pulled over 7 times in two weeks.
License suspended 7 times in one year.
I have 7 tickets on my coffee table that need paid or a court appearance.

Surprisingly I have only been stopped for speeding once in the last 4 years. I should have gone to jail for that too. 143mph in a 65 in NJ. I was counting the cash in my wallet for bail money. Cop said he was chasing me for about 3 miles. He gave me an unsafe lane change.

Only cool cop I've encountered that I don't know personally. All the other ones can trick a D.

I never got stopped in my S14. M3 gets me pulled over ALL the time, guns drawn.
