Bl4cK32

i do, but sorry man i like to cruize by myself. Me mate is all into doing the runs (been to Alice, Philip island etc) on his zzr1100, but i find i like to go for a leisurly flex with just me. I guess its coz i end up racing everyone....

i got dents in the chassis as well. What Steve said - oem Better shut up everyone...coppers may be watching and pick on this as well as the bov's

yes - me and me mates go sooo fikin sunburnt. Should have brought the sun block

On the R32 there is a wear "guide"....dont know how to explain it, but there is a piece of metal, like the metal shim on the back of the pad, that as the pad wears comes in contact with the rotor. Basically its there to make a squeal noise as the pad gets low (mine had heaps left) to make sure u check ur brakes in the near future. (who wouldn't if they were squealing?? I just removed the wheel, seen there was heaps left, then bent this little wear idicator back a bit to give less warning. Sorry if its different, but its on the r32, and me mates brothers n13 pulsar.

You dont need to do that to check if a car is stolen. Just ring up Tst SA for a VSR check. (vehicle security register). They tell u if a car has been stolen, and if the car is being held against a loan.

Hope u get closer to desired result Steve

I know from previous cars i've had what a pain in the arse they are. I had a gemini (i know but it was my first car), with cobra clubman seats in the front. The copper defected the car coz he thought some bullsh*t like the bolts were wrong, or the mounts were wrong. Go to regency, engineers there say seats are 100% ok - mounts, plates etc. Then the engineer looks at me and says your pretty tall (190cm), the seats are against the law coz of your height the seatbelt comes across your chest in the wrong area with the seat all the way back. (seats are non reclinable, bucket style). So basically i couldnt have the seats because of my height.

Im thankful SK for your help, and helping Steve in anyway you can. As well as all the good work u are doing Steve wish i could be of more help, but haven't been defected in the 'line......yet.

40 cars, and sheit weather. Didn't they stop last time for the rain?

Hey SK, thanks for responding. The quote above im pretty sure is not relevant here in SA. I might get Steve to have a read of this to confirm, but im pretty sure in SA the local Vehicle Inspection Station can still defect a car even if it is fully engineered, because they dont think it might be safe. Hey Steve if your reading what is the law in SA regarding what SK has said?

Actually on the car at the moment is a set of Bilstein suspension set to the middle adjustment (3 levels of adjustment). How far from std is the top height on Bilsteins, anyone?? Coilovers are illegal in SA due to "being able to lower the car in 15 mins" They require the height adjustment to be welded at std height. Sad, but who wants coilovers welded?? How good would say the std shocks be, with stronger rate springs, bigger tyres, camber adjustment, and sway bars. (i dunno if swaybars are legal in SA). Would this be a good setup, or would anyone recommend the same with the coilovers welded ? Hopefully i can keep me bilsteins (i luv em ) edit/ SA police will measure height to defect.

id rather have your licencing laws, than not be allowed to drive a modified skyline, engineered or not. Its not that hard to keep the points.

what is so difficult in sitting out another year and a half?

Can anything be done to make an r32 gtst handle better keeping in mind that : a) the car has to be kept at the std. height, B) front strut braces are illegal in SA Im basically trying to keep the car legal for the street but want it to handle the best it can. I understand lowering it, adding strut braces, pinapples, etc are the go, but how good can the std ride height be made to handle?? In SA its defect city for lowered Skylines, so to keep it looking stock is best. Thanks for the help

HAHA - i wanna see u get rego, pass through the front part of regency, then make it out of Adelaide without a defect notice. If u can do that, u have run the cannonball my friend

riceline, are u planning on using this thread as ur own personal diary?, or going to offer some info at some point. As for the heads, you'd have to be lame not to tell the difference between a sohc head and the dohc head.

not in Adelaide mate. U haven't tangled with the transport dept. here yet.

Thats becuase the police don't do anything about commodores. There is about 30 std. height commodores in Adelaide, and the rest sit on their arse, do burnouts, basically a law unto themselves. U didn't see any skylines cos half are in their owners back shed getting modded to pass regency, and the other half here cruize like were all ***n on the run so we dont get caught for a non std gearknob.

that is definitly not an accident. It would've been random violence by kids, neighbours, or fik wits. Set it up again and be ready

see for yourself. The 5 speed on the left is the r33 gearbox, the rb20 on the right. I'd say its overall a stronger box.

Its so we purchase the Aussie built cars and keep people like me in a job.

i know, but how many of ppl out there have? Even if u haven't been defected, a letter stating how it is unfair that your car can be taken off the road - even if it has a full engineers cert. is helpful. Unlike queensland who can have what the fik they want.

Everyone should email the transport minister with a complaint about the Nazi regime called reemgency demanding reform. Why do they want equal laws in regards to traffic offences with other states, yet we have a system that are a law unto themselves??? :bs!::bs!:

Sure u didn't say that when u had the vs joel?

I got my exhaust done at Exhaust techniques. All i can say is im not happy with the quality of the welding done. They asked what i want done, I told the sales manager the muffler i wanted, and when i came back it was nothing like i said. If i had to do it again AAA near the city are the best ive heard.
