as far as my boss knows im working.. so shhhhh!

nuh f**k msn. i used to have it and never got any work done.

but back on topic.. if u guys wana do regular meets, theres some good spots. me and my friends used to meet on the corner of anzac hwy and marion rd. never ever had police probs. close to shops. and u just go straight up cross rd or greenhill to get into the hills. mmm hills, would love to go on a hills run soon one nite.. if anyone is keen.

i think your missing my point pete,what gives them the right to pull someone over that is by no means doing anything wrong, just minding there own buisness in a seemingly clean legal car,obveiously if you have a loud exhaust or things like that thats a different story but its a generalisation on there part, its like me saying to a customer oh i refuse to work on your car because you look like the kind of person that doesnt have any money

now if i said something like that id get freakin shot! so what gives them the right to think oh its a performance car so it must have something illigal on it lets pull it over.

another thing that grinds my gears is how consistantly dumb the police are getting,95% of them wouldnt know a what blow off valve was if it jumped up and kicked them in the nuts. i for one think they should at least have some sort of training on at least the basics before they get the right to decide what is deemed legal or not on ones car.

i do agree tho most of the cars are defectable tho lol.

lol at what you said dommar too haha.

yeah Jack I wasn't flaming you. We keep screaming for more of a police presence on the road due to the increasing crime rate each year so we can't keep crying out foul, we take the good with the bad. No doubt that cops have a daily quota to fulfill which is to justify the number of cops patrolling the streets and their income to the government coffers otherwise we would find them having a siesta under a tree somewhere and our taxes would keep rising to support the extra police presence, classic case of taxes vs fines, I prefer the latter.

No doubt there is a stigma with young looking males in imports and the attraction to cops.......take a teaspoon of cement and learn to live with it cause its been like that forever, only difference now is that it used to be young looking drivers in EH Holdens.

The first thing that will attract a cop to you is behaviour on the road (1st) then the car you drive (2nd).

I ride one of the most obnoxious and in your face things in Adelaide....yet I feel comfortable in town and down at the Bay. In the last 18 months I've been pulled over 3 times on the bike and in the end they only wanted a look. When you hit town or the Bay, just be sensible and avoid the blitz areas for defects ie. Colley Reserve.

i agree id rather the latter part of your comment too pete.

the same thing happens with my father on his bike, its rediculasly loud.so loud that i know when hes coming home 5 minutes before he actually arives because i can hear it from blocks away and he has never had a problem with the police, with the hypercharger on it the induction noise is intence lol if anything that gets peoples attention more then how loud it actually is.

lol im at work to steve,i have nothing to do here anyway its very quiet today.

I've always been into bikes. Cars are just an in-between interest. :D You're frowned upon as much as you are driving an import. But it does come down to where and when you ride. Just like if you cruise the city and bay Fri and Sat nights, you could be targetted as much. Same if you ride your bike the same stretch or in the known 'hot spots' in the hills. With the exception of RBT stops, I get pulled over on the bike 3-4 times a year. I haven't been pulled over in the car yet. Even tho I'm frowned upon more on my bike, it doesn't deter me whatsoever.

Owning 5 bikes and 2 cars is evident of where my heart is at :rofl:

What do you ride?

As of today, an Aprilia RS125. im a sucker for 2 stroke powerbands i guess, i'm going to work my way to the RSV Mille when i qualify.

my mechanic got defected! cop thought his r34 was an r32..................... :D the defect note says it's major, uncompliant air filter and uncompliant intercooler! and all i can say is there is nothing wrong with the air filter, it's got 2 brackets on it! and the fmic, there was nothing cut in the chassis so i'm stumped! oh and zero driving hours

Used to be crap in the later days of CSA, we'd always get randoms in commonwhores doing a quick open wheeler then go speeding off down marion road....5 minutes later a cop would arrive and ask what was going on. lol

it comes down to the age old argument,what other people cant have they make other people pay for,any car that looks like it gets looked after,is one reason too many for the coppers to check it over. its just lucky they dont know what thier looking at,the day that happens were all in trouble,i just got me a r33 with all the bits,i spent most of the weekend just trying to hide bits they look for,its rubbish its got that way.

Yep, when I got a new dash I went to the trouble of removing the big boost gauge and hiding the boost controller into the glovebox.. took a while but now my interior looks stock standard and thats a Good Thing

-D

Actually thats pretty much exactly what happened on my cruise Eddy.

Went down to maslins, then a commonwhore rocked up, did some ringies in the carpark, down the other end from us, sped off and then bout 20 mins later the cops rocked up.

Didn't say anything or come over to us. Just sat in their car in the opposite carpark, watched us standing around the cars...and then drove off.

I took photos of them using my uber massive zoom lens :D

bla bla bla to much junk to read, the street scene is still there your all just not looking, and the cops are fine stop bagging them they go on these sites and they are doing their job and everytime they have come on my cruises they have NEVER put a pretty sticker on any of the cars

by the way cruises will re start soon :D

yeah i had gauages for boost,temp on pillar,t/timer under the s/wheel and under the bonnet were those cheap looking hose covers etc,so i ripped it all out to clean it up,looks pretty standard inside. put me t/timers and boost controllers under dash in hidy holes for any changes,but it wont stop them pulling us over unfortunately. we need to have more cruises organised in sa,more out of town cruises tend to attract less attention,all we need a newmeeting spot or way to communicate within us all,without hopefully attracting the hoon drivers

well the car scene has died in adelaide because of this stupidly cold conditions

while these conditions are great for our front mounts

its not so good on us human beings

wait till summer boys and gals

the car scene will definately return but at the same time the cop attention will too

its so stupid that the cops make us import drivers a moving target

as some of you know i have recently been defected

the reason being "suspected suspension damage"

now how they came up with that i dont know

but after escaping the defect numerous times i guess i was expecting to be done sooner or later

we have cruises i organise them and have been since the star of the year almost, i have rules and we dont go near the city and the meet spot if fine and wont be changing also most of everyone has my number so thats how we stay in touch or we have radios

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
