Well maby you should keep it legal and you wont have anything to be fined for...!

Seriouslly i hate it when people crap on about how hard they were done by the police "cry cry cry". If you dont want a ticket you should obey the law....

No excusses...

BTW. I have been fined twice back in 2001 and both times I was in the wrong and i admitted it and took the tickets and even said "Thank You". If you do the crime you do the time...

If you dont modify your car according to the law then you pay the fine.

etc...

Amen to that, thats 100% spot on.

BUT... its not good if that just pull up every import that goes past, and let guys in aussie cars go past without a drama. There must be a reason for it, though. Cops are not idiots, they would be pulling over whomever they have the most dramas with. Obviously they have had more dramas with imports than aussie cars as far a defecting goes.

If we all follow ADR guidelines, then eventually they'll stop pulling us over. Its cause and effect.

I aggree that imports and the like are popular with the cops... But thats only cause they get som many fines out of them...

Im sorry i jumped the gun I just dont have any sympithy for those who moan that there hard done by...

I drive in a sensible manner on the road most of the time and leave my stupidity for the track.

If i was to be fined for being a knob then id take it on the chin.

For the record. I have owned 4 skylines over the last 5 years and have NEVER been pulled over in this time...

It all comes down to drivier attitude... I will admit that some times its "Wrong place at the wrong time"

But i avoid those places and times... ;)

but the laws are a joke, 80% of the defects are a waste of time.

Yeah i agree with you.Half the time they dont know what is standard on some cars ie the battery in the boot in 33's he didnt believe me that its standard issue.

yeah, even something as simple as unboxed pod filters, wheel sizes, bonnet vents etc which pose no problem if common sense is used, are all outlawed.

I think that if the regulations were more realistic and made more sense, there would be less dramas. Most of us use common sense and dont have anything anyone would consider dangerous or offensive (noise etc), but are still frowned upon, and although ive been careful with my car, there is bound to be something on it defectable.

Some cops are decent, others arent. not all are bad, not all are good, a lot of them are just doing their job. remember that they dont make the rules, and THEY get in shit if they dont enforce them.

I had to whip out my manual to prove that a stagea comes with a turbo 6 from factory. A big problem is they assume the worst.

Heeee...

One night i saw a guy get fined for a non standard engine...

It was a old volvo turbo... I dont know much about volvos but the guy who got the ticket was fairlly nice and said to the police. "Its the stadard engine in this model" The police man ripped him a ticket and told him to shut the %%%% up and that he was no born yesterday.

The guy took the ticket and laughed it off. He was a bit upset about his treatment and continued to explain to us it was factory and we believed him. Why would he need to lie to us...?

So yeah sometimes it's BS...

geezzzz you ask one question and i get a daddy lecture!!.

I'm with you R334door

Thats the only reason I don't drive my line around that much (its lucky to come out on a weekend) I'm worried every time I go out for a drive in it. If you get pulled up they will fined you for something dumb like too big wheels or to wide wheels or a harness or something dumb like that and thats bl**dy stupid in my books because those three thing can save more lives then take them

Ill be completelly honest...

I have one defective part on my car...

I have a SSQV HKS valve venting to atmosphere...

But what i have done to make it legal in the eyes of the law is modify a small pod filter over the front of the valve. This way it can function the way it is meant too and its filtered and therefore legal.

If i was to be ticketed for this i would take the ticket and then dispute the ticket with the transport department and use their own rules and regulations.

Because the reason BOV's have to be plumb back is so they are filtered by the cars air filter. You can by all means filter the BOV in a seperate filter... Thats quite legal.

Hehe, I was parked at milton a while back and a police officer on a bike asked me to pop the bonnet on my silvia........I looked at him very confused considering I was driving a Black R33 Skyline at the time!

Good to see that these cops aren't stupid and know what they're talkin about. :D

and for the record, he saw my modification plate and was happy with that. Just as well too, would have been interesting to see what he would have fined me for...."incorrect badging of a Nissan S13 Silvia". ;)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
