the thing with sat nav just about everyone wants 1 including older population which makes up more voters and more people with enough time to letter bomb the government :blink:

where as the modifying cars is a selected small portion of the population, they'd have a very hard time restricting mods to cars if 90% of the population wanted n had em. but thats not reality we make up a small portion and there's prob 2 that hate us for every one of us. wether its deserved or not dosnt matter general perception is your an ass for driving something that looks like a race car.

everyone society needs some group to blame for their problems just be glad they've moved on from racist to racers :)

ok promise thats the last of my dribble and attempts at trying to string together stuff to make me sound inteligent

in all honesty i hope your plan does work but just cant see it happening sorry to be a wet blanket i just think its the sad reality

I swear... IF I ever get defected I'm selling up... and buy a gunmetal grey R32 GTR :) yummy

theyll still get you, my gtr look stock to you??? they wont like you all the same, ive been done for cracked paint on front bumper and broken seast. you could wobble it slightly if you grabed the head n rocked it like in any other 15yr old car.

No, it looks modified as! :) I'd be buying it not to get away from getting defected; moreso an excuse to sell up and get it :blink: I want to start over and not modify anything damn it lol

haha i drive my car in fear and not wanting to get defected while I have a 15 g loan in the background and a full time job an hour from where I live that I need to get too every day to earn the money to pay for the car.

Police suss me hard and I try to do anything not to pull up to or not cops just for fear of reprisal. I have been pulled over and given no reason and had my turbo timer and boost gauge questioned, but the cop who pulled me over was stupid and said she knew nothing about this stuff.

I just said it was legally sold in any Retail Car store and she said I was fine to go on my way, I think I was lucky.

I hate to get a defect sticker for something small like a mounted boost gauge or turbo timer. How r these a threat to the safety of the public? They are good for your car.

Boost gauges mounted on top of the dash dangerous when you crash and hit your head on it... turbo timer exposes wirings necessary for thieves to steal your car and it also leaves your car on when you walk off - so it allows easy access for thieves.

lol my turbo timer has been turned off for ages. Im pretty sure that unless your thrashing the absolutely suitcase out of your car: ie hills/mallala, you dont even need to baby it before you turn off.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
