We have everything on ours modded, just incase. But the problem with this is, even if you DO have the plate, they can say to you 'how do we know you haven't changed it since then' and fine you anyway :sleep:

according to those modification links i provided you, any aftermarket steering wheel fitted to a car with an airbag is defectable and you'll receive a fine for it.

fitting an aftermarket steering wheel to a car with no airbag fitted from factory is allowed based on the size of the steering wheel in accordance to the modification rules/laws.

the hks bov you won't be able to get a mod plate for, and you can get booked for it unless you have it plumbed back.

when you get the seat you will need a mod plate. just ring either a cop shop, or qld transport and ask them where somewhere is that does mod plates in your area.

BOV is allowed however, he'll get fined for undue noise and that is it.

Maby so, but there was a court case 18 months ago about a guy fined for undue noise for having a BOV.

His defence was that trucks and buses with air brakes have air bleed valves which operate at much higher pressures and hence emmit more noise... The judge agreed with the Police that a BOV is distracting to others however he could not be fined for undue noise unless the officer wanted to fine all busses and trucks for the same thing...

So technically an officer could fine you for dangerous driving, as the dangerous driving act has a clause about distracting other drivers... But i dont think it would hold up in court, as most peoples thoughts on dangerous driving means that the driver was speeding excessivlly and driving like a idiot. So the dangerous driving tag would probablly get over thrown also...

    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.  
    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?
