i never said it dosent happen that people get harrassed by the police i even said im waiting for the day i get done for my tint. the point i was trying to get across is that you know your gunna get hassled just for driving a skyline so you can either get used to it or get rid of it .im not saying its right its just a fact of life .but there are a lot of skyline drivers that do drive like dickheads i think you will all have to agree with that and there the ones that make it hard for the guys and girls doing the right thing. we have 2 r33 skylines in our family i have one and my son has one also .neither of us has been pulled over yet .notice i said yet but when i get pulled over im not gunna whinge about been done if something on my car is defectable but i will fight like hell if i get done for a stock item . but i accept the fact that one day i will get pulled over just cause it is a skyline

cheers mid life crisis

I must admit I have thought about selling the car for a larger car that suits a baby better, the one thing stopping me is the unknown, I've owned commodores and fords before, every single one requires constant repairs, if its not the power steering pump is the rack, if its not the rack its the crappy auto's they run, if its not that its the a/c if its not that its some thing else, it just goes on and on and on and on... a bit like me now so I think I'll leave it at that.

get a Stagea !

"shouldnt" have a problem then :action-smiley-069:

Yeah but getting a lux euro car with decent performance costs you a bucketload. Who would want to downgrade from a modded skyline to a 318i or C180 with wheelchair performance....

I agree with everything it's c^%$

My daily car is an 88 astra wit 17's on it and there stock 13's. You no that means I'm 2 inch above stock :wub: . I drive past cops all the time and they don't look or pull me over.

But when I get my skyline on the road I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get harrassed :action-smiley-069: , it's a pitty the police aren't well educated enough to know what street legal is or not.

that last word I think has a bit to do with it - 'performance'. Ever since Police had to buy WRX's to catch WRX's i think they have slowly been finding ways to prevent turbo cars (no...not diesel Pajeros/patrols etc lol) from being on the road. :O

  • 4 weeks later...

Something really funny/strange had happened today (maybe it was just me). I parked my car near Rundle street and after my lunch, I went and took my car. Was thinking of making a U-turn there but saw a cop with standing about 100m away from my car. So, instead of an U-turn, I drove towards the direction where the cop was standing at. The cop was so excited and without thinking twice, he pointed his speed detector at my car (I guess he was hoping for me to drive like a nut head in front of him). But I delibrately drove at about 40km/h.. LOL.... He couldn't do anything and guess what, he pointed his speed detector at the back of my car!! Unbelievable!! He tried really hard just to find an excuse to pull me over because I was driving an import, IMO. Or could be me just being paranoid because I was driving a LINE...HAhahahaha!!

Have you guys experienced anything "funny" like that before?

Maybe it was the lines gearing.. they do tend to rev a little in the lower gears making a bystander think they are going quicker than they really are.

i thought this was just my loud exhaust making me sound like im flying :laugh:

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
