just so u know its 45 from center of car at 20 m

ive been done for this

it realy comes down to the cops descresion and the relaility is u just pay the $90 fin and move on

Yeah - neo32 is on the money... 45 degrees is the rule.

As for the previous post about the distance being 45 metres... I think I would need binoculars to see it from that far away even at 90 degrees :angry:

... Spose, my eyesight isn't that great though, LOL.

it can be a $340 fine and 3 points if u own the car

it was the first day those red monaros were on patrol and i got done buy one bullshit situation she only saw the front of the car for 3 sec and then follewed me for 15 mins then pulled me up for it i protested it they came out and measured it and i was there when they did definatly 45 deg and 20 m

they had the speed gue and everything the thing is tho on one side of the car it angles away so from the far side away from the plate its imposable to read if its screwed onto the car if the plate was straight faceing froward no on the angle with bar it would be ok

I didnt think you had to display a front number plate?

Im pretty sure by law your not required to, but if they pull you up on that and you show them the legislation in writing, they are going to rape you for as much other stuff as they can.

Why not save the $90 or $340 and just leave it where it is, the middle.

If you have a modified / aftermarket front bar, it may not be practical to leave it in the middle. Plus the intercooler gets more air if the plate is offset. But as long as it can be viewed from the said angle / distance, then you should not get a fine anyway.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
