i would just like to thank the rather kind police man(and woman)

that mannaged to pull me over tonight and yellow sticker my car just to make sure that "my car is the correct height(as it was complied @ that height), my exaust is not to loud(also complied with exaust), to make sure the pedals my car legal (once again), and to make sure my rear wing is "secure".

on the other hand i would like to say GO SOLVE SOME REAL CRIMES AND STOP WASTING YOUR TIME MAKING SURE MY CAR IS LEGAL FOR ME.

well what else can i say i was pulled over tonight for an RBT (random breath test) and the police man had a look around my car (nissan 180sx) only to come to the conclusion that my pedals we not legal he didn't like the look of my gear knob (razo) my exaust was a "little loud" for him and my wing did not look safe

when i informed him that my car came with the pedals, knob, exaust, and that the law behind wings was that it had to be within the cars length and with he suddenly took a disliking to me

walked off to his car and radio'ed another unit to come down and inspect my car (1/2 hour later) the car turns up and tells me that my "wing" could affect the areo dynamics of my car and that for there and my piece of mind i should have a yellow sticker so i can go spend more time/money making sure that my car is clearly legal so here we are slightly pissed off and 1 rather unsightly yellow sticker as a bonus i would like to just end this by saying once again

GO SOLVE SOME REAL CRIMES AND STOP WASTING YOUR TIME MAKING SURE MY CAR IS LEAGLE FOR ME.

had enough of this type of thread been lots before

get your permits and even then they can sticker you

bad luck just go to welshpool lisencing centre ask for reno and if you have permits for your mods they'll take your yellow off for free

if not get your permits and be done with it.

also the areo dynamics of the wing has nothing to do with it. its wheather or not its a safety issue particulaly the end plates.

your gear knob is illegal unless it has the h pattern on it, but most places and cops let it pass, same as the pedals.

the exhaust is on there judgement nothing u can do about it.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
