Hey all,

I just got a phone call from a mate saying that there are cops galore on the Hume between Campbelltown and Picton turnoffs, they're pulling any form of modified car over and obviously giving them a good shake down.

There are also unmarked cops patrolling, and a cops parked in any U turn or stopping bay...

if you're headed to Canberra, make sure your car is 100% legal, find another way, or dont bother going... either that or bend over.

Remember its Double demerits and fines until the 6th... so it could be very painful.

cheers,

Bj.

after driving to and from melbourne just before NYE i encountered a massive amount of cops, sitting in little towns, anywhere with a speed difference, and on the general highway sitting in the darkness too......

slow down and stay safe people its not worth speeding to get there a small amount of time quicker!

Actually there is defects which carry points.. seatbelts, seats,steering, and wheels I think include some.

Loud sound system also carries points.

Its on rta website, type in offences i think comes up with a list or demerit points actually

Can they do that? If they can... Should ask for a location which was private property to unload on as it wasn't intended for the road.

We take track cars on the back of the track and they are in no way street legal, I'm really surprised if they can ask you to unload them.

Yes, they did that by making the owners drive the cars off the trailers and then defecting them. Bastards.

basically wouldn't that consitute as them asking you to do something completely illegal?

If the car on the trailer is registered then they can defect it because you have the intent on driving it on the road (otherwise it wouldn't be registered would it).

In the last 3-4yrs i've been going to the Nats it was only the first time that i was pulled over and that was at an RBT station where they did a db reading on my exhaust which I obviously passed. After that I drove my van for the last 2-3yrs and havent had an issue or seen any issues.

The only thing they could get me for on my current gtr is pod filters, hrmm need to find a standard box.

however, those mods may have been intended for track use only, they cannot prove that it was intended to be used on the road without seeing it on the road, registered or not.

I stand corrected. Seatbelts, brake and steering carry points (3 each) and undue noise under the Protection of the Environment Act carries points as well.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
