Yeah, damn those cops that catch you breaking the law :P

Obviously the cops have done their homework on whats legal and not on a car.

Do we do our homework on what we should fit to our car (or how to be discrete in fitting it) before coughing up the $ before doing the mod? No, we'd rather have a cry about it on the SAU forum.

The cops are getting smarter ... we're not. Simple.

:)

i wouldn't say all of them are getting smarter! my mechanic had his r34 defected for the intercooler and pod filter! he said it was uncompliant and he was convinced that his r34 was a r32! and the thing is the car went through regency exactly the same way just a few weeks before!

So what :) One dumb cop for every smart Skyline owner? The odds still favour them.

Play it smart. Be smart when modding your car. Be polite and take it on the chin when you get caught.

I keep a small folder in my car with a copy/receipt of all the work done to it and copies of ADRs which apply to my car, so I can prove the Stagea is roadworthy. Any mods which are debateable are kept discrete.

So far ... Cops 0 - Ruby 4

Anyone getting defected for bald tyres deserves the defect - jesus christ people spend a shitloads on engine mods but skimps out on the tyres which is what puts the power to the ground and keeps you from sliding off a cliff... wtf!?

    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
