Thanks for that usefull information mate, in regards to my situation, should i head down the to blokes station and basically tell him that its garbage and explain why? in the section on my defect notice for 'station' he wrote STTF, does that mean he actually doesn't have a station? perhaps i should write a letter to them

STTF i think are out of head office brisbane. they patrol all over qld.

State Traffic Task Force

There is an office at Boondal and they do travel all over the state.

If you send a letter to them this is what will happen.

They will read it, all have a good laugh and send one back to you saying "The ticket will still stand."

my car arrived 5 years ago with NO metal in the front bar area. What the heck are guys like me supposed to do?

Man i dislike coppers.. and those pencil heads who think they know ALL and make the rules which condemn us...

If the car is mod plated now, then it should stand down the track reguardless of the rules. it will have an engineers approval.

Thats what i'm gonna do.. Thanks for the heads up! See how it pans out.

Cheers

On my last car i pulled the front bumper rio out to fit the veftex front bar and intercooler, never got round to putting it back on but it got complied like that, it depends if they pick up on it when complying the car as it shouldnt be passed without it. STTF will still fine you no matter what the circumstances

lol you can sell teh car with the defect, aslong as you get a roady and transfer the car into his name, then it is cleared as far as i know, ask nismo_boy :P

btw- compliance for 32's did require a rear lamp unless under the 15yr rule, although some workshops have neglected to do this when complying cars among other things :(

Thats correct.

My car was under defect and required to be cleared at the police station. As I was selling/sold the car... I neglected to tell the new owner. I still got a dodgy RWC, transfered the car into the new owners name, and bingo cleared.

It's like when your car has been impounded for hooning, the current owner may have had the car impounded but once it changes names the slate is cleaned and you start fresh.

So you're saying if your car was impounded for hooning, all you need to do is change of ownership to your mate for instance and they'll release the car?????

I think Josh means, if your cars impounded and you sell it....the new owner starts fresh with that car...ie. next time that car is caught for a "hoon" offence it's the first time.

Otherwise I think he means you start fresh if you sell the car...but I would have thought they'd base the law on the amount of times the drivers been caught "hooning" not the car.

No.

Example:

I'm selling a car that had been impounded TWICE. One more time and they have it for keeps. You buy my car with a current RWC and transfer it into your name, you now legally own the car.

The amount of times the car has been impounded is now reset as it's owned by another person: EG, if you got done for hooning and the Police impounded your car although its technically the cars third time, it's only counted as it's first as its under new ownership, therefore it wont be taken for keeps.

They take the car the driver was being a hoon in.

bit of an issue if they take a car registered to someone else and confiscate it permanetly. For eg. I borrow your car, go down the shops, do a skid or something classified as "hooning" your car gets permanetly confiscated....would be very interesting!!

It would be interesting indeed if and when the matter went to court.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      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.
