I guess this answered my question as well too risky

Is it just as bad to drive in the arvo as it is during the night with the cops and all

yes and it being a dry zone they will have constint rbt's all over the place. its not worth the trouble

haha i took my 32 with straight through exhaust down there. didnt have any issues, but i had my mate up ahead scanning the roads and was gonna call me if he saw a RBT or what ever. i remember sunday night i think it was driving down to near the right on the water, basically as close as u could get to the action by road in a car, i was meeting up with my mates that were all there in a hotel thing. i was f**king stressing, like going through the back roads, turning my lights off and parking every so often. as im sure u guys know, cops f**king everywhere at night. anyway finally made it there and slept the night in my car, well i use the word slept loosely.

yes leave your car and yourself at home there is so much trouble and it's getting worse every year dont put yourself in that situation

its not to bad, its just the toolies you have to worry about

oh and if you lose something like a wallet etc. dont bother going to the cops. we found one and they said do what we like with it :s

stay with a group of friends and youll be ok

being a local and experiencing many schoolies(and all the shit that goes on) i dont think they are really out to get ya. i never really had too much trouble with them.

this year though it will be at home as it is defectable! but if you dont have that problem then i would say you should be fine but expect unwanted attention!! if you dont want/like then leave it at home. i got a mountain bike to ride where ever i need to get to these days

but the first year i had the skyline i actually took it out. i was pulled up by a group of under cover cops like 5pm on the friday arvo after pulling out of a bottleo... search my car over(not for defects, but drugs im guessing) but found out i was local and then layed off a bit. started asking me all sorts of questions about the car, like whats it worth. how fast have i gone, is it quick. which i thought was funny! they were fine and had no motivation to defect me(although the car was mostly stock)

most of the weekend i left it at home til me and a couple mates wanted to go driving. i had 2 'ss' cop cars following me. fortunable i knew the back streets of my home town very well and i avoided any probs with them by taking a coulpe extra turns in my drive home.. i reckon thats where my trouble would have been if they had of pulled me up

then i was drive from work to home on the monday and they pulled me over for a rego check. and let me go with no issuse.

last year a mate of mine was pulled up but the 'ss' but the cop in it was dence and didnt know what he was doing( BOV's vent exhaust gasses to ATMO...well according to him. oh and a standard return valve is illeagel. haha)

so do want ya want really. thats my experiences with and my and a mates car.

i have had other run ins with the police at schoolies when i was younger, but i dont see me being that stupid now.

being victor resident as well. i personally wouldnt bring it if it's defectable. i'm hoping i dont get done driving to and fro work. theyve already started defecting cars done here, from what i've heard new cop in town defecting , he's nice enough but wi;; defect ya anyway. but if you got a stock car, go for it just be sure it's safe at night.

chris...

the thing that shits me about schoolies is that they show it on the news every year, and they say shit like oh fights at schoolies, waa waa waa.

get over it, it happens every single year, why report it every single time as if its something new.

the 1 thing i hate about it is that most that comes down expects locals to stay home and out of the way...

some dont care! i have had a few drinks with people until the cops see us drinking haha

DONT wear back packs with ya stash in!!! they get you everytime

if anyone is planning on going down pm me on friday arvo or sat day...iv lost all my drinking buddies!!!!!

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
