Can we hold a meeting with the police regarding the mods that are allow?


Recommended Posts

It would probably be much more accurate to get the rules and adr's in writing, otherwise the poor cops are going to have to know all the rules and regs off the top of their heads. I recently spoke to the engineers who did my brakes, and even they couldnt give me a definite answer as to wether a planned mod will be legal as they need to see it and how its been done to be able to tell me that.

If we can get hold of all the rules in writing and make them available to everyone, that would be a pretty good idea, might have to make some calls to qld transport.

Specifically for Queensland: Queensland Transport publish a booklet called Modifications. It can be picked up for free at any Queensland Transport customer service centre. It covers the basics if used with intelligence, however doesn't mention pod filters. They also have a website

Being English, and living in England until I was 24 I was brought up to see Police as people I could turn to for help if needed,and, as I have never had any bad experiences with police in my 39 years in Aust I tried to bring my boys up with the same belief.

I've had my Skyline since Oct 2001 and have never been stopped by police.

My son Mick has had his for 8 months and being stopped for no particular reason is a regularly occurring fact of life and he now sees police officers as being rude,overbearing, bullying, threatening and ignorant persons who should be avoided at all cost.

My point is I believe that young people driving Skylines and similar, modded or not are a targeted group and subjected to very different police behavior and attitudes than the average driver, I would not advise anyone in this group to take their Skyline anywhere near the police for any reason unless their life depended on it

agreed fully with you there 51jay,its not advisable to take any modded car or any nice car near police,as its most likely to get targeted as a hoon or racer etc..

its a shame what it has come down to...everyone being put on the same level as,most idiots who are reckless etc and are the real hoons..

So what about we get a full copy of the ADR's and before we hold a discussion with the cops (who will be all friendly & sweet-mouthed and encourage us to aspire to them), how about we have a cruise day where we stop by some engineer (who we all chip in and pay) and maybe they can give us general info (like boxed pods are ok compared to open pods or whatever) - then they can spend 5-10mins looking at each car just to see if we should get one or we are fine .

Wouldn't cost much money or time for us all and most (hopefully) of us will find out we are in the ok (and will have ADR sections to prove it), and those who are recommended to get one could all book (and maybe get group club discount).

my 2 c worth at least

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
