I got RBT'd the other day - i actually drove past them as they were setting up and on my way back i got pulled over and the cop said "hay mate, saw you driving past us before and you had your fog lights on - but ill let you off because its a bit damp." (At night time as well) - I’m a Green P plater driving a R34 at 11:00 on a sat night in castle hill.....that’s not too bad i recon.... As said before - it’s all up to your attitude, and I’m pretty sure the cops are used to me in castle hill. Only ever been pulled over once and that’s because the cop was curious, every other time was a RBT set up.

Also with the pods - Can’t you get an engineering slip for them? - so the law says that it’s bad for the enviro and its noisy - ok - fine, take it to the RTA and have a Db test and a emissions test and get them to clear you - that will shut them up.... (Obviously I’m guessing most of you wouldn’t even past that test anyway) my car is stock as a rock so this would work for me.

But seriously hasn’t anyone else heard of a Cops asking “do you have a certificate/permit etc for that?”

I have been driving around with my foggies on for about a year. Have been pulled over many times for rbt's and random checks and never had an issue.

I drive a 04 Liberty gt

Well you should get done for it. It's bloody annoying for other road users. What you don't realise, or maybe you do and just don't care, is that light is cumulative. Your low driving lights or fog lights or whatever might be on "low beam" but when there are 4 of them it adds up to something much more than what is permitted for low beam.

Apart from that, I'll admit it was a bit of a sexy look when it was rare, back in the early 90's say, but now it's not sexy or cool. It's old.

I'll admit, Lapa on a sunday night near the docks does go off.

There was one weekend when i spotted Loz there, and a Cop helicopter came down -.-..

Dunno if it was a scare tactic, but we jumped into our cars and 20 of us just left, leaving the other 100 behind.. Dunno what happened after because when we pulled out there was about 14 undercovers / marked / HW patrol cars parked up gearing up.

Lucky we left, but i think Lapa is a no go zone now, true you want to go out with your mates just to kick back and have a laugh, look at the scenery and all.. but the cops enforce the law.. they can basically do what they want man, and theres nothing you can do about it.

Theres a limit, understandable. But its only gonna' get worse for imports if this retalliation stays up.

Ive had my fair few confrontations with the cops aswell, but theres nothing you can do.

Stay out of Lapa man, and George Street, and Orange Grove ( Krispy Kremes ) and Brighton .. ..

It sucks you copped a ticket for fogs, but whats written is whats law.. You had good intentions, yet they dont care. Pricks..

Real sports cars don't even have fog lights anymore. You're right, they were only cool back in the early 90's.

These days, seeing fog lights just tell me that I'm approaching an econobox or family hauler. If it's quick, then I know it's a tarted up econobox / family hauler.

I should get booked but the point im making is that many coppers would rather give Skyline owners grief then bother a liberty (which middle aged men mainly drive)

Why do you think i sold my R33 ?

lots of f**k heads on foreshore road

lots of fatalities

lots of cop

you go there and get booked ....... pricelesss

f**k me if im stupid but you are more so

were u one of those f**k heads on foreshore rd

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
