He was lucky to get away with the speeding fine. Quick thinking on his part

but i think he deserved the yellow sticker tbh. Not for the no lights in the dash, but for the rear lights being off.

We all got to agree that is pretty dangerous more so cause his car was black/gmg (cant remember)... and if it was as simple as a "fuse", wouldnt be easy to put one in and he would of avoided all the problems and hassles...

thats my 2cents anyway

maybe he really didnt know they were out, or is it a feature in jap cars ur dash lights go out with ur tail lights, also he did say he was on the way to the servo so they coulda let him get one there

i think they run on the same fuse...

If that were true (and ill give him the benefit of the doubt since he drives a skyline haha ) somehow i dont think most police would believe that...

Also im sure the servo is left onto south street not more down murdoch drive :)

But anyway, i 100% agree on what he said about the rust buckets on the road... they never seem to get stickered...

No excuses for driving without lights. How can you not notice your dash lights not working.

Then if they weren't working anyone with half a brain would check the rest of the lights.

well i would 1) to be considerate to other drivers

2)cause i dont want someone running up my ass.

he should be thankfull with the $200 (pull your head in) fine. Tosser

The first night I got my P's I got pulled over in my dad's bunky Holden Camira. It looked like a shotty drug dealer car, home job green paint, and black boot.

Got pulled over coz it was blowin some smoke. They noticed my dash was out (brake lights were fine). But I had a lil torch taped to the dash so I could see the speedo. :P

They were gona yellow me but because it was my dad's car, they let me off and said to get it fixed.

If it was just the dash in Willem's case I'm sure it would have been the same, but no rear lights is as everyone stated, stupid.

I was more concerned with the fact that his break lights weren't working, thats hell dangerous even in broad day light.

i thought his brake lights were working? towards the end of the segment you could see them light up. or maybe i'm wrong

brake lights were working, just normal taillights didnt come on, my car did this, turned out to be a fuse and a shitty wiring

I had the same fuse go on my car the other week, when I was setting off to Rockingham to watch my son play hockey. I did not realise the tail lights were out as well until I got there. I was guessing my speed the whole way - basically matching speed with other traffic. Then I had to drive back! Not fun.

The sensationalist coverage really bugs me. He was quite right to point out about the rust buckets, but unfortunately no rear lights is dangerous at night (not a problem in the daylight). But you would thought he was an axe-murdering rapist.

The only thing they did not say was that by not allowing him to go to the servo and buy a small fuse, they were preventing a small child from choking on it!

Thank heavens for Channel 7.

Tossers!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
