Hi everyone! I'm a newbie so help me out please :no:

I live in Gold Coast Queensland......

Can someone suggest me in how I go about this.....(this might be long to read)

couple of days ago I was pulled over buy police officer who claimed that my tail light was painted!!!!!!!

All the R32 4doors have dark tail light and so thats what I told him but he said that its definately painted!!!!!!! :)

I went to Queensland transport to ask them to prove that its stock tail light but they couldn't help me.... (no-ones a skyline specialist there....)

I went to a Nissan dealership..... They said they can't check if its stock since they don't have one in hand to compare....

I am planning to go to a import car dealer to see if they could ( but not much hopes there....)

I can only think of skyline compliance place that might be able to help me out but duno where there is one near the Gold Coast.

The police that pulled me over has had an eye on me for a while now so I noe if I just paid the fines he will try the same thing again and I need my points!!!

pleeeeeeeaseeeeee someone help me in other ideas and skyline compliance place!!

:)

go to a wreakers and see if they have a taily off the same car as u and if they r both the same, buy it and take action against the ticket.

or bring it with u wen u contest the ticket and scratch it and show them no paint comes off.my four door 33 has painted tail lights but they are painted the same colour as the car and the actual lights are not blackened or tinted. all i can say is if it was me and i was sure that i didnt paint them and he didnt believe me i wuda got out my keys and scrapped the lights to show no paint peeling off, wud need a new tail light but at least no points lost and prob cheaper than fine.depends if the lights look darker than stock wen on at night.

maybe u need brighter light bulbs and if the coppers on the watch out for u, invest in some new lights

Hi long33.... the policeman didn't let me out of a car since it was on the busy street but maybe I should bring it to him now and scrape a bit of tail to show him huh??? good idea!

Anybody know a compliance centre for skyline near gold coast or brisbane???

Hi 53XYN! thanx heaps..... hope they can help me out coz RACQ didnt since Im not their member ;)

Apparently the break lights are not the issue... its the whole tail been dark... so he says its tinted or painted. I wish they knew about cars before they can give us tickets.

I'll ring them tmrw! thank you!!!

Hi Benno-... tails got cracks and not that new anyhow... so I thought it might be ok.

its the last result.....i guess

but the thing is its not only to get away from the fine. Paying fine is alright but the police are gona give me ticket for it again and again unless I can prove it now and keep that on record.

Why dont you get another person with a 4 door 32 or other people with 32s and take them to the cop station with you? Its a bit annoying for you i guess, as all of them are definately like that, i'd certainly be annoyed and wouldnt want to cop the fine for no reason!

Hi BoostdR32!

I don't know any other R32 4 doors...... its abit of a problem trying to get them to come to police station with me unless they are stock 4 door.

I thought of buying an old catalogue NISSAN had it out when the R32s came out.

I saw few of them in yahoo auction. They have to know that its stock if its in Nissan catalogue I think......

To Clear it as if it was a defect you can take it to a qualified complinace workshop and get a letter stating that the lights are factory standard items .. also give a few places like autoterminal , www.nismo.com.au a go they might even pop a letter in a fax for u ..

NISMO is a good idea!!! I neva thought of that! They are in NSW though aren't they.....

Might as well give it a try!

Thanx johnbarry88! I love my little baby too! most of the police knows jack shit about cars....

That guy could've written tickets for more worse stuff... but hey! Wat can I do when they donno shit but to prove them wrong!

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
