Yea, flamin mongrel is quick. hehe

As for the car, senior officer gave him one month to take off all the mods and bring the car back to willy cop shop for an inspection. He didnt want to give him one week as it woukld be almost impossible to fix up in 5 days. Poor flamin mongrel haha, maybe when its stock il be able to give him a better run :blink: I was tripping out, this coppa new these cars inside out. lol

mustve been a nice cop to pretty much "let him off" in the way of no defect/epa and just make him come back to the cop shop and show him the car again.

still a hassle though taking everything off and making it standard.

What about the mods made them illegal? On p's or just not done with EPA in mind etc? I've always wondered this. If p's are gone. N u enclose your pod n do everything proper. They've got nothing to get u on. Or am I mistaken? Sumone fill me in. LOL.

last night saw a white r34gt at fountain gate driving around near magid drive and also a dark colour r32 with sau stickers at fountain gate maccas. gave it a little bit as they were leaving the car park lol.

lol

mite be my dark coloured r32.

ye thats it, just dont line him up. :blink:

I was actually referring to what he got defected for, normally they pick those obvious ones so you have to get a full rwc anyway, he sort of got off light but if this cop knows his stuff it might not be as easy as he thinks, clever move by the cop as well, this way he has to take it back to a cop that knows what he is looking for as opposed to some nufty vic roads worked who will just check what is on the bit of paper.

I believe enclosing the pod does not matter here in vic, you have to run a factory air box if you have a fmic.

Looking at that car though, im guessing he has an atmo bov, pod + intercooler, adjustable boost controller (not allowed to have that at all), probably a full 3.5" very loud exhaust, too low, non padded steering wheel, no charcoal canister and a host of other things.

tmu cops have always bragged that they can defect a car the minute you drive it out of a show room so if they really want to do you (having no water in your washer bottle will get you a defect) they will find some little thing.

Wow. After reading that list of mods etc. Now I understand. Lol. U can still get some serious power if you use your head a bit though. Internals, ecu ( no hand controller) boost controller in ecu or get stealth looking one, high flow exhaust doesn't have to rattle windows.

However, who said you had to sensible wen if comes to nodding. I think tgats half the fun. To a point...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
