Last time I did a track day on the bike, I was driving back when all the 'drifters' were on their way in. So many cars driving (not towed) past with missing bumpers, intercoolers standing out like dogs balls, loud systems, existing damage ... and they wondered why they got picked on. :P I agree the cops should play fair, but don't go sulking when ya cars are inviting the cops to nab you.

i wasnt saying it was ok i was agreeing with deluxe about people who drive their cars there that are ready for track should exspect what happens.

i went to watch the last big event at lala and was done for half a cm to low, that was it nothing else and other then that my car was 100% road worthy but ive been done for 'suspected to loud' when the car wasnt even running and i also have been sent to regency because after i got my car painted i had no tyer placard. a $5 sticker ended up costing me $135 plus missing 2 days of work. there really needs to be some sort of slack and the quota's need to be canned!

P plates in the window are like a homeing target for cops to a car :)

In sydney they have been targeting imports for a few weeks, In particular behind kingscross down at harry's several people have been done. Thankfully they seem to listen to our ideas? Maybe they frequent these forums and are actually listening to people with half a brain.

Its no different to how it was when I was on my P's back in 95 and living down south.

I had a little TE Cortina 4speed; exhaust, cam and holley and low. That thing was always picked on by the police due to its nice idle and ride height. Awesome little car that; burnout machine and had no issues whooping the back then quick VN 5ltrs. :)

ah cubes these youngs ones think defects are just for imports lol you remember the good ole days glenelg carpark near the jetty lol cops blocking the entrence and people driving over the kerbs to get away . i had my fair share of defects with a 307 chev in a lc torrie and that had been aproved by regency at the time lol .

ah the good ole days when a defect was still a defect

I hade a 250 x-flow cortina back in the day stock as a rock but could still put on more of a show then the v8 boys :)

I dont think cops pick on imports at all, iv got a lot of mates with holdens and fords who get defected a fair bit not because of the driving but the mods they have. If you mod your car then you pay the price

:( You're telling me Chad! Ah well, what can I do? Gotta get it cleared or I can't drive the car, simple as that. If anyone here has some stock 33GTR suspension and wants to help me fit it that would be awesome and save me some dollars. If not I'll just take it to Synergy again and get them to deal with it for me and save me the clusterf**k

Fark... thats BS.... did you not have the paperwork from last time u went thru regency?

I for one would take that defect slip and the one from last month to a magistrate.... see what they say...

-D

Yes but you see last time I passed Regency I removed the bonnet and the seat, now they are back on, I doubt I have a leg to stand on

Well firstly I don't see how they can defect you for a seat, provided its secured to all 4 fixture points and is ADR approved. And even if not, did they take photos? And whats wrong with the bonnet? Defecting you with either of those two is a bit petty.

If they didn't take photos, then chuck the stock stuff on, call up the courts authority and say u want to challenge the defect as it was only passed within the last 4 weeks.

Speaking of defects, I'm in the process of moving my boost controller. Aiieee what a job. So much dodgy wiring under the dash. I disconnected the earth to the boost controller and the alarm went off *sigh*

Gotta love DIY japanese electronics. Cableties, twisted wires and electrical tape. Dude obviously never heard of a soldering iron and heatwrap... :banana:

Well it's a Bride racing seat, don't think they have ADR approval and the bonnet is carbon fibre again, no ADR approval. No photos were taken, however he did state on the defect sheet that "racing seat must be removed"

chuck the stock one back on.... they look like racing seats, you could argue that he assumed that both front seats are racing seats cause theyre sculpted ;P

PS Not much u can do about the bonnet except to paint it... Its a different color from the rest of your car?

I agree, not all cops are bad. And yeah, it does suck, got a week off this week after about 6+ months in the planning and I won't have my car, only my crappy work ute :)

I'd ring up regency and ask them about it... say that you've still got the stock stuff on and see what they say...

I'd also call up the magistrates court and speak to the day solicitor about it...

Put the stock stuff back on mind you. Regency may simply wish to confirm you've got the stock seats and bonnet and not charge. I'm really not sure how it works cause I've never been defected but if I did, thats where I'd start. If you get no love, try the legal aid commission and ask them there, or transportsa. I've seen a bunch of commodores with carbon fiber bonnets and they never get defected for the bonnet... thats just anal...

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
