ive had my 18's on for a good 6 months before it got done (which probably wouldnt have if something else didnt happen but wont go there) cops have driven next to me, behind me and drove right off... didnt have an issue.

that goes without saying doesn't matter what rims you run

exactly... ive been picked on for random things they could find when i first bought mine. it was a dead stock automatic 33. got done for pod filter, oil leaks and exhaust to be checked.

this is what it looked like:

Yeah but if you drive like a dickhead, then you pretty much deserve to get picked on/defected. That said, sometimes you can randomly get picked no and that does suck.

As I stated above, I have had 3 quite highly modified cars (coilovers, wheels, loud exhaust, mods) and drive my cars daily for work and pleasure, and have NEVER been defected. I don't do anything to make my car stand out too much or be obviously illegal, and I don't drive like a dickhead.

yeh i agree, if you drive like a dick then you deserve it but the amount of people who get done for doing nothing wrong far outweighs the ones that do...

My wheels didnt even get a mention when i got defected. Got pulled over with them on for a licence check and nothing was said either.

the last time 3 times ive been pulled over my tires were only checked once when they were looking for defects, so that says heaps about whether defects are for safety or revenue.......

straight under the hood no look at one of the most important safety aspects being tires..

defects and speed cameras mate are all revenue raising and nothing to do with safety.....how is capturing some one speed at an intersection a safety thing.....it wont stop them speeding down the road.....arrgh people used to be afraid of the tax people and now its the cops taxing everyone via safety (bullshit) / red light camera's

yes they dont have immediate benefits, however catching some speeding can change there mindset an actually save their life as they no longer drive stupid on the street. It can be a wake up call.

If a friend of mine didnt get caught, he probably would have became a statistic.

had my skyline nearly 5 yrs now and i realized i dont have any photo's of it at all. im sure i had some but i think they were on a old hdd that failed .

next time i clay bar it and polish it i will get the camera out pretty slack really lol

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
