Some cops are a bit overzealous, for want of a better word - but please guys, you must realise, if they get calls because some tool has been watching drift and decides to start carving up the roads around where people live OF COURSE the police will come out. If they didnt, then people would be complaining the police are doing nothing.

If you really do think you are getting the short end of the stick - and lets face it, alot of people do, then complain to your local MP - they can actually do something.

And if you are worried about getting defects - go and get permits. I got permits for all my mods, and my car is pretty heavily modded - very cheap peace of mind for a whole $37.50. Alot cheaper and easier than screwing around getting stickers removed.

Usually, its a few tools out there on the road that make everyones life harder.

your funny

hope you have your permits laminated to save them tearing them up in front of you..

they also tend to not pay attention to permit regardless and still sticker you..

Theres an application form for major mods that you can pickup at the pits.Minor stuff just take the car to the pits.I got an MX5 approved with an F355 Ferrari motor and trans fitted in the rear(Cars about to get finished)but had to have flex tests etc but we got it passed so near anything is possible.

No, your right, much better to not get permits then bitch when you get defected for something you could of got a permit for.

and yes, they are laminated.

Permits don't do squat 99% of the time, most cops don't believe in them and just ignore the fact you have gone to the effort to do things by the book..

ivew also had friends have permit paperwork torn up in front of them by police when pulled over, and shown them the permits for everything..

Oh man I really didn't miss this while absent from the forums.

No reasonable cop would rip up the permits in front of you if you yourself are being reasonable at the time. If they do, then take there badge number take a pic on your blinged out camera phone and report them. A cop will only do something if he knows he can justify his/her actions.

Any of you who are now saying to yourselves "I wouldn't want to do that - they may do me in for more things on my car etc etc". Then you were probably caught doing something overtly stupid, gave a bit of lip and deserved the treatment you received.

Grow up kids - stop acting like such victims!

It comes down to the reason you were stopped and your attutude.

Ive driven modded cars for 24 years and only ever got a sticker once and yes i was being silly and smart mouthed and that was in 1984 and i learned from that and have had no problems since.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
