Hmm indeed, maybe we wil have to start cutting the obilgatory tunnel run from the cruzes :eek: their messing with tradition here!!!:)

PS:Hey Chris u got the money for the Coctail party? Trev wants to get it by tonite, so we should go round for some fri arvo drinks me thinks :)

the tunnel is a nice bit of road. i think they should increase the speed and start kicking all the retards off the street who have caused multiple accidents.

although it proves the government is mainly after money.

and what happens with the plates between 60 and 80??

or 50 and 80 for that matter. :starwars:

yeah its common in Japan.Saw it in option magazine,its kinda like a thing to hold your plates on the top.And when the wind resistance is like 80km/h,it flaps back into your fmic.I think you can d.i.y(i think i saw a flapping plate black r-33 in perth).Yeah its automatic,oh did i say this is highly illegal?do at your own risk.This is not japan.

is that a turbo?

in the real kit,theres a specific resistance set to the springs or whatever.they come up with everything in japan.I think i saw this japanese video of a car with one,at low speeds it kinda flaps lightly.Once again,it is not a good idea to do this mod on our local roads.

As much as i hate speed camera's and love speeding though the tunnel..

this is about the only time i agree of the placement of a camera. They are FIXED camera's so everyone knows about them, theyre not hidden like the multinova's we see on the side of the road all the time. This time theyre real purpose is to save lives.

A tunnel is a closed environment and there are only two ways into them, if anything goes wrong it can escalate dramatically compared to an open air environment.

I have my good side saying ' yeah, great idea'.. my other side saying ' screw that, i love speeding through there' hehe :lol:

Being fixed i agree at least we know its there - its patrolled so regularly anyway the only difference its going to make is the fact we know. But has anyone tried to read their speedos (with lights off because i cant be bothered putting my lights on just for 5 secs) while going thru tunnel - its impossible u cant see your speedo!!

I go thru tunnel everday usually in peak hour where if you reach 50km an hour then your doing well so i dont really care - just pick up the pace outta the tunnel.

Obscuring your number plate is a 50 dollar fine. Hell, even taking it off is a 50 dollar fine. Getting caught doing 140 in the tunnel... big fine, loss of licence.

This may not be japan, but basic economics implies which one of those options you should pursue.

Bike riders have been putting their rego discs over their back plates for years, its common practice. I drove my old car around for 4 weeks with out a front plate, and 6 months without a rego sticker. I even drove around for 2 years with a front plate missing 2 numbers because id had an accident and a tow ball went through the middle of the plate.

And when i DID get caught for it? Out the back of Kewdale on a Sunday night with a bunch of Silvia lads? They told me to put it on the back instead!!!

50 bucks every 2 years? Or loss of licence every tunnel run?

Take your chances.

kewdale - i love kewdale its a very rare occasion u see police or radars there.

I know a guy that got caught going thru a radar and you couldnt see the last two numbers of his plate - it took them 6 months but they tracked him down. Im getting radar detector for birthday pressie - i know they slip up occasionally but its better than nothing - when u pay $450 for nizmo plates u aint exactly too eager to hide them. But i know what your saying when i had my z31 someone backed into me and the panel shop lost my front number plate so i drove around in it for a couple of weeks til they found it - wasnt pulled over.

Hehehe my favourite play ground, all the roads are nice and wide :D

Dowd St is nice, long, wide and has a nice sweeper at the end... Look for Nissan HQ at the start of it. Lay a couple of nice black lines out the front for the lovely people at Nissan to come to work to on monday morn :P

Not that ive done that or anything. I don't engage in such nonsense.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
