I understand, but if you make sure that you keep record of all instances that you have contact and what was said (I know this sounds a bit over the top, but carry a tape recorder, or even better a video camera:D) and if they step out of line go directly to their supervisor. I think the days where coppers can get away with shit are dwindling - they have to be fully accountable for their actions, no more coverups especially if you have evidence.

It is a tough choice, but personally I wouldnt put up with crap on principle. No reason if you arent doing anything wrong that you should be getting hasselled.

Hippy, legal lowering height is 350mm from middle of wheel hub to the top of the guard, also no part of the car should be lower than 100mm with (cant rember how many) metres of the axles(applies to larger vehicles) - but it basically means you cant get lower than 100mm. And the car must sit on the rims if the tyre deflates;) Thats from memory anyways.

Dont worry about the dump hippy, its sitting waiting for you:)

I've been lucky so far - have never been pulled over!! Fingers crossed, but I guess it'll happen one day ;)

My b/f's bro got pulled over and defected in a stock N13 pulsar the other night for being too low. The cop's parting comment was " You're just lucky you don't have an import mate" - now whats with that?! :confused:

Did they put all 3 defects on the 1 defect slip? If so then you only need to pay 1 fine (atleast in nsw).

If they wrote 3 different defect slips for each fault then you'll be up for 3x the $$$

Also how did they come to the conclusion that your exhaust was "too loud" ? Did they test your exhaust with a small device standing behind your exhaust as you hold the revs at 3000rpm? If they just pulled you over and said "your exhaust sounds too loud here's a defect" report them to the local cop shop.

The reason they knew it was too low, too loud blah blah is cause when i passed my defect i put everything back on there and he goes to me "we know you put everything back on the after u passed"

"your just mocking the system" he recons which is why i copped the fine.

mechanically my car is A1 but no all the ****in bush bunnie fuct up shit boxes are allowed 2 drive round here and stuff but i can't drive my car round!

Plus when i tell ppl that my car had been defected again they say "why its allways so neat and looked after"

my reply?

What about when its chick cops (with bigger balls than most of you boys) that pull you over???  

Then your powers are void...

Actually, when the chick coppers have a big set of hairy dusters, your powers are just as relevant as ever, if not more :)

my friend got his 180 defected .. just for a bov ... went to regency ... they then gave him half a page of stuff to fix ... double defected ... now he's probably going to have to spend maybe 500-1k just to pass ... they just out to screw u over ... whoever died from a bov anyway?

Hippy some bov are pretty big, perhaps you could hit someone with it hard enough you could kill them.

Beside that, they are very useful.

You could use them for pest control - throw them at rats and larger ****roaches, mormons etc.

You could put it on the coffee table, after a good cleanup, and use it as a conversation peice. Be very handy if you had unwelcome visitors.

You could even use it to chock your wheels if you have to change a flat, but it would be better to use a brick.

It would also make a good paper weight.

Perhaps you could even use it to stop air reverting through the compressor of a turbo and causing damage. Nah sorry, just being plain silly now.

By the way, anybody want to buy a bov? I have a spare one - shiney and red....hmmm.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
