under the EPA they no longer need warrants for a whole host of things that they used too 'suspison' is a very loose word with a huge meaning

yeah i remeber that car park never hung out there though

my TT is under my steering colum so by standing out the car all you can see is steering wheel and when i get pulled over i turn car off and reach for the cutoff button on the timer

lol cubes you must be as old as i am .used to go down there with my lj torrie with a 327 chev in it someone would see the cops comming and people would run to there cars trying to escape b4 they arrived .the old smithfield road house was another great hangout as well

Wasn't light green was it?

PICS PLEASE!

If it was green then I remember (and lusted after) your car.

Ah, the old Anzac Hwy car park - try getting out of there once the speed hump had been oiled up!

haha, Defect crack down at Glenelg. Colley tce and when really busy also Mosley st.

The police are calling it 'Operation Holdfast'. There intention is to stop people 'cruising' down Glenelg.

I work at cibo Glenelg and our staff park is right next to the defect station... being a skyline owner, i now choose to ride my push bike to work due to fear of defect.

its funny.... some guys the other day yelled out thier holden camira window "Get a car ya bum!" at me while i was riding my push bike to work.

Those were the days.. lol

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

Yep.

I got to drive my Crown through there once after I got it registered with the turboed 2.8L, then I moved to Sydney for a year, and when I returned (1998), the car park was no more.

I remember being down there when there was 200+ dudes and the cops raided the place en-mass.

Good times

Howie.

My TT is in my little compartment under my cd player. Installed it in there so i can just flip the door shut and no body knows the difference. Will be where i put my E-BC if i use my current one.

I dont think 34 have the same compartments as 32s but worth a try

Cheers mate, been trying to find a single din tray holder to do something similar to what you've done - but it'll have to be one with a lid.

I might just put it in the glove compartment and lock it up with the rest of the electronics gear.

hot tip - avoid the aiport like the plauge - last 3 weekends in a row have been alcho and drug testing all people coming out of car parks - meaning if you enter the airport you cant get past without going through... im told this will be a regular thing now that the feds have moved over to let the SA Pol run the site...

i saw 3 imports sitting defected at the end of my work day...

howie - hg got pimp slapped by that korean girl lol

but those rims are indeed delicious. they protrude out the guards abit too dont they. i would have thought 9"wide would sit inside the guards. none the less, HOT! want to take photo's together? haha serious question btw

Duc - LOL... isn't that the girl from My Sassy Girl? She cracks me up man :happy:

The rims sit flush against the guards, anymore wider and they'd be well and truly sticking out of the guards. Doesn't seem to be a problem driving though, i can still do a full lock etc without scrubbing. Planning to drop the coilovers another inch soon.. so i'll see how that goes. For sure i'd love to do a photoshoot sometime ... both white cars, both skyline goodness.. just let me lower it a little -it'd look like a 4wd next to yours right now hehe.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
