Thanks for everyone who has posted, it's great to see such a positive response. So far it's looking like a monday or wednesday night, so if you haven't posted yet and have a preference please do so by tomorrow night.

Qikr33 - thanks for the offer. At this stage the officer who has contacted me was a hoon squad sargent, who does field work (as in chasing people around). He also mentioned he can bring a police mechanic, so I will confirm this with him when I next speak to him. I'll let you know how it goes.

Boxhead - yes, I'll be happy to take notes. I actually want to see if we can get documentation we can copy from the police on this, and also take minutes and get the police to then "sign off" on them to say that's what happened.

Bryanlee - thanks for the offer. I'm not sure we should video it, but I will suggest it to the guy next time I speak to him. Are you coming? Wasn't sure from your post.

Krys - are you coming or toasting someone?

Ok, please post if you haven't done so already and advise availability. After tomorrow I will persue the venue and confirm that, and also being asking for questions to be submitted as it would be good to give these guys some notice of what we are after.

Thanks again to all.

I won't be able to make it (I'm in Toowoomba during the week) but good luck with the meeting, and I must say that it's fantastic to see someone taking POSITIVE steps toward legal modifications. It makes a nice change to the constant bitching about "dam piggaz, jus got dun" - complete with dodgy spelling ;)

A couple of questions for them though:

1. Is it possible for a pod filter to be legal outside of a sealed box if it's engineered? If so, are there any further requirements?

2. In QLD, what is the story with aftermarket ECUs? Does it just have to pass roadside emissions tests, or does it have to go through some kind of re-compliancing? Is programmable injection OK?

3. What about intercoolers?

Thanks all for your suggestions so far. This is what's new:

1. It will be on a monday night

2. The venue is sorted - Bob Jane Toombul

3. Start time aiming for 6pm for food, with 6.30 kick-off

I will be rining the police to confirm a date, hopefully tomorrow. I am looking to do this on the 18th or 25th of next month, depending on the availability of the police.

As soon as there is a date set I will setup a new thread with a list of names of people coming, and then open it up for questions to be submitted. I would like to send them into the police a week before hand so they can research if required.

Thanks again to all who have posted. Feel free to post in here if you can make it, or if you now can't. I hope to be able to have the final date and time up by the weekend.

Thanks

good shit....wish we could organise similar in VIC..

guess the laws are different.. but will be interested in the feedback and the attitude presented by the cops. Notes i will be interested to read, for general consumption.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
