i've been pulled over 3 times now for RBTs, not including being pulled into bays... Have a lovely FMIC, trust PE2 exhaust and rims.

First time I hadn't changed the cars rego into my name (thought I had), and the officer gave me a warning, did a pod and BOV check and listened to my exhaust and let me go... Second time they just gave me the RBT, last time RBT bit of a chat, checked for BOV and pod and listened to the exhaust... Never had a drama.

I thought I would have been cannaried by now for the front mount and exhuast at least as I've had them for year and a bit and regularly drive through Campbelltown in the early evening... But I'm never a smart arse, always have my license waiting when they arrive at the window, ask the officer how their night is going and go with the flow... That being said, I'm shit scared when i get pulled over these days, too many stories about people being done for "no reason."

I drive really carefully in the Skyline and I think thats why I dont get hassled...

in an attention seeking car like our lines we dont have a choice but to drive carefully or we will get harrased and then taken to the cleaners

had my 33 for 3 years, got alot of gear on it now, never been hassled even once. RBT's Highway, they never have said anything about my car. that said i had a Benz (190e 2.6) a few years back too when i first got my license, nice gunmetal paint, Evo2 factory rims (worth a mint), nice stereo, lots of suspension work. Aesthetically just a really clean car. Used to get harassed everytime i would drive anywhere. tallied up nearly 10 tickets in a 12 month period for petty shit like roll through a stop sign, no P plates when i was wearing them only i had it on the wrong side of the fromt windscreen. Cops in penrith tried to pin me for speeding in a paddy wagon. A police Nissan Patrol tailgating me so close i thought the thing was in my rear seat busted me for giving them a brake test (didnt kno they were cops)...

Put it down to stupidity. Once they pulled me over for some shit and the bloke said "Who's car is this? obviously not yours, you can't afford $80K car" i mean wtf? as immaculate as it was it was worth like $10K......

All that aside though i have met a few top cops. Just there aren't enough of them..

    • 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 🍻
