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

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
