just back from the city coppers everywhere in city and on freeway

was at the lights next to a copper on his way home (personal car) so i thought best to drive sensibly along the riverside expressway with the copper just a little ahead (I had 4 drunks in the car)

I had this black 33 with lightning airbrushed all over it come up beside me, gating me trying to get me to race... he eventually took off like a shower of shit passed the copper blowing a flame prolly into 4th, cop sped up to get his plate i guess wonder if he gets a visit tomorrow

soon after i had a D car sit on my rear quarter for about 15 min doing bang on 100 they eventually got over it an sped past to annoy someone else

ill say they wer out.

i got done. $150 defect. no points

un shielded pod, bov, 4 tyres (my bad from dori dori weeks back), wheel, a pillar gauges.. despite all of that the cops wer nice bunch of blokes. at the end we even had a long chat about the force. looks to be a promising career.

PS they didnt get me for too low leakin coilover 2way diff cooler no reo no spare wheel and jack and tools.. and the 2 cops wer smart blokes.

so im gnna buy new tyres like i needed to weeks back. put the R34 GTT wheel on rewire gauges. block off bov. and make heat shield. that ontop of exams yeah easy done.

2 a pillar gauges apparently are safety issues. steering wheel is a chrome face nardi which has no padding. again an apparent safety issue. and the pod filter "has to be shileded 80%" so he said. i did argue to the point. but they wer being nice and didnt wanna make em mad. and my tyres wer bald all round sooo u couldnt see the wear indicators.. :(

meh

oh and this was at 11pm on the way home from a charity staff party. lol bad things always happens to me.

but was lucky he didnt see my rear end clunking and locking away with the 2way.

pillar guages are only a safety issue if they impair your vision. normal sized ones (boost guages, etc.) are fine. steering wheel.. bleh fair enough. Pod filter, hes full of shit. i understand why you didnt want to argue too much if you had the other parts of the car that were defectable, but i get pissed off at dumb shit cops handing out incorrect defects.

the pillar mounted pods are in the head impact area, hence a no go

fark it. as much as i love driving my 180. ive only had issues on saturday nights and this only in the last few months.

and every time it was me doing nothing wrong. i do my crap at the track i drift ther not on the street. ...its quite shit.

issue #1 cop staring me down at the lights at 1am coming home from party he said "im coming for u tomorrow morning"

#2 coming home from friends place. pulled over questioned bout some skids done up the road by some commo.

#3 went to park and got hassled by police.

#4 coming home from charity staff event. 11pm defects and they pulled me over for no reason. they RBTd me went over my car and canary'd me..

lesson is dickheads making the scene shit for us proper drivers and we recieving the wrong end of the stick.

so weekends will see me bring the liberty or the other 180sx out.

Striker: Pods were an unsafe issue for me cause they were not safety glass....

and my pod was not secure didnt say anything about being unsafe.

and as for the wheel i dont have padding on mine, but then again the stock steering wheel didnt either.

if a pillar gauges are defectable then what about all the people who mount their gps units at the same place?

and the JDM S15 has a single 3inch boost gauge on the A pillar

i dnt like pods to be honest. i find the airbox is efficent enough. on GTRs it is. but my 180sx didnt come with it..

a box will be nice but.. wher do i buy thin sheets of aluminum..? bunnings..?

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
