Where did your friend hear that from?

Rhere's defect stations as the weather warms up for years.

Years back when I was in my teens from around 15-16 (~10years ago) they used to sit down both Hindley and Rundle street. Occasionally on Anzac highway near the tennis courts.

Those were the days.. lol

Hands up for those that remember the car park at the end of Anzac highway Glenelg. :P

Not sure if we are talking about the same car park. :yucky:

Originally there was the car park right at the end of Anzac highway, like right at the end where the roundabout now is. That was shut down ~10years ago (1995-1996) and all there was left was magic mountain car park, which in comparison was gay. :sick:

Every weekend the car park at the end of Anzac';s would fill with hoons, burnouts packs of cars leaving to run up anzac. Given a couple of hours which was strange considering it always happened and the cop shop was 100m away the police would come in shut down the car park and defect those left. :kiss:

Was quite interesting for a young lad just getting his license.

I've attached a pic of where it was. See the blue square.

I read the article your friend did too. Apparently it's part of the crackdown on crime in the bay, not sure what a defect station has to do with binge drinking hooligans on jetty road though.

Anyhow, expect an increase police presence down that way when it heats up.

well being phat could get you in trouble which isnt worth it. thats why i took mine out when i got my alarm. other way is if you want to use the tt, just dont pull up the hand brake when you turn off your engine.

Yeah that's a good point duc. I've just been hitting the tt kill switch, but it's something i should think about when i redo my console - was in the middle of relocating the gauges, tt, shift controllers, etc.

On another noted... police can't go through your car without a warrant right? Or unless they see something that would warrant a search.

You are right Howie... But what can you do if they said that they "suspect" that your car has some illegal mods? You still have no choice but to let them check out your ride man......

Nice LJ with a 328 in it. :)

I can't imagine such a thing happening in this day and age.. I was surprised at times how long it took for the police to rock up; ppls would drop a bit of oil, washing detergent or what ever it was and burn out after burnout would occur as ppls left on those warm nights.

i originally had my tubro timer mounted on the panel under steering wheel, but was always shitting myself and taking it off when there was a breatho and yanked it off.

I now mounted it in the little tray under stereo, and the plan is if someone checks my car to just turn it off and put my phone in front of it. if my phone gets moved i might be screwed, but my car looks stock from inside so i rekon my chances are good :)

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
