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.

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 ?

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      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!
