the car they were going over was a street registered cefiro (that the corporal did the demo laps in), there was a silvia behind it, the driver was still being drug / alcohol tested

don't know if Simon was pulled over with the 4door

i agree mate, but when they sit outside of these events, waiting to randomly select a car for a new sticker on the front window, it gets frustrating,

how would you feel if it was you? lets say you went to watch, and as you where leaving, in an orderly manner, they pulled you in and slapped you i the face for a defect? you would be pretty cut right?

its like taking candy from a baby for them.

i think i spotted you on friday morning to..on regency road? i was in my company (seina foods) car.

im pretty sure it was you anyway.

i agree it is frustrating!

Na wasnt my car i live down south, and started work at 6am

oh ok, well im sorry to tell you this, but there is another black 32 gtr with your rims down this way :thumbsup: now thats gotta be frustrating lol

lol, na i dont care, bet he doesnt have 284rwkw :banana:

and im sort of thinking of getting mine polished.

I remember when a drag day would finish, the cops would monitor the area to make sure drivers behaved themselves, which they never did.

I still see cops hanging around at track days at Mallala (cars and bikes) as there are always idiots hooning out of there.

The cops are after the hoon element and the obvious defects. If its a legit offence or defect then so be it. But if they are indeed looking for free tickets, then that is low.

Cops have and always will be hanging around motorsport events. You can blame all the wankers for that.

:thumbsup:

on the way in they had the speed check set up - which we took as a warning.

you have to be an idiot to drive a heavily modified car out to a major event at mallala (like next weekend) you know the cops are going to be everywhere

i drive my car all the time. why should i fork out trailer hire plus something to tow it with... its crap.

anyway i didnt get hassled, and the ceffy only got a cop shop defect cause it did have bald tyres... pretty silly leaving the track with baldies on... i always make sure i have legal tread to drive home on.

of course i do, coilovers, power fc, just to name a few, but if i get done then thats my bad luck, i wouldn't winge about it, cops are just doing there job, trying to keep people like me and you safe.

Power fc's are illegal? shit, thats one of the things on my list to get next :banana:

Dont understand why/how they can defect you for something that makes your car perform better. Police chips in that case should be illegal should they not? Not the place to be ranting but i had to say it!

Oh and i spotted Craig today in the stagea, went past my house to the shop, then home back past my house. Hi :thumbsup:

yeah mate, any after market ECU is illegal, ha ha, dont worry, i only found out AFTER i had mine installed.

but still get one mate, feels like a new car!

any way, back on topic.

spotted white 33 on brige rd's 5th name (dont know all the name changes it go's through) as it gets closer to town sat night.

he was coping some uneccessary crap from hair dressor gang in desmini bus (i dont recommend getting involved with a hair dressor)

apoligies mate they were only saying it due to the fact their mummy sponsered (95%mum's $ 5% theirs) v8's have been proven to be inadequte angainst gtr's :w00t: i take satisfaction when spoilt rich kids go down :D although they dont seem to learn and continue to insult everyone about their cars

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
