Well on the way home from the Foo Fighters concert in Melbourne a few weeks back got defected on the way home by an asshole Vic cop for "bald tyres" however I explained to him that on the Friday (he did me on Sunday) I rang around for my tyres and they couldn't get me in till Monday. He didn't give a shit and did me. Hence to get the interstate defect lifed, full inspection. Cost an arm and a leg, made my ass so so sore but here I am at the other end finally!

sorry mate, but bald tyres are bald tyres, u should have got new tyres on before u let them become illegal, if u cant u shouldnt drive. u obviously dont realise how much shit is spilt to them on regular occasions, so they just cant take ur word for it. saying that, a full inspection for tyres is pretty stupid as its a minor defect, whats the deal with having to go full inspection because it was interstate?

i thought when you get defected interstate it doesnt matter when your back in adelaide? my mates s2000 got defected here in adelaide and when he got back to sydney, defects from adelaide dont meen nothing. the people at cop shop in sydney just told him to rip of the defect sticker.

nisskid, the tyres were hardly bald, I agree that they were in need of changing, hence why I arranged for it but no where in the realm of illegal

keitz, apparently to get the rego changed from whatever state to SA, the defects must be lifted first... pile of shit I know but that's that....

UPDATE:

im back, after a long break. decided to keep the car, cant sell it on defect for 1 and 2, ppl that were going to buy it were offering me what i felt was bullshit just because it has a sticker on it.

The car needs the following done then im back on cruises (after regency)

Stock suspension

Stock exhaust

Stock turbo heat shield

Decent rubber

+and a nifty way to hide braided water and oil lines going to my turbo -ideas anyone?

above all i need time. working 70h a week is good for buying shit but its shit to get things done.

I'm also ordering a different intercooler that uses the stock return holes from the standard intercooler, hoping this will also add more to hide the turbo and things around that area.

then of course after that i can finally put all my performance shit on and get a tune, something that i been waiting for, for over a freaking year.

got work now, speak soon!.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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 🍻
