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

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
