Yep me, on the way too work. He pulled me over on the way to work near the vill. I thought I was gone for good. He first got the tape measure out. the legal height for a 32 is 360mm front and rear, mine is 280mm front and rear. He gave me a warning for that and told me to fix it asap. Then he asked me to open up the bonnet, at this stage I thought I was gone for good. When I opened the bonnet, he just looked and scratched his head. He asked me if I knew much bout cars, i said nup I just drive it:) He then said has it got a blow of valve, I said what is that?? After that he just said close the bonnet Gave me a letter to show any police officer that pulls me over in future to let me go that my car is ok, And then I drove off one very happy person. When I drove off 2 p platers in vs commodores started to laugh at me when the saw me pulled over so I teased them a little bit in giving me a drag(all this time the cop was following me and the guys in the commodore did not know this) half way down the hill the commodores gave it a boot full then the copper behind me chassed them then pulled them over for speeding:) It turned out to be a good day

Thats what you call a great escape! Just imagine your car having to go through regency!

It might pay to keep your old car to swap parts off if you get defected in your new car

Good to hear that for once a cop gave a warning, rather than sticking a defect sticker on it

You get letters over there? We asked for one for a GT Wing cos they are constantly giving a defect notice for them and we are constantly being told by the inspectors they are legal - so we asked for a letter and they said no can do!! :P so fustrating!

Dumb copper??? Sounds like a top bloke, maybe he was just checking you out by asking the questions matt? If he was a dumb copper I think he wouldnt even have bothered with the tape measure, just defected you anyway:)

To give you a lisence for your mods - thats GOLD. Especially on your car:p

Where did this happen - might just have to loiter by the road until the same plod comes along to give one of them:D

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
