i thought of this today while defect-proofing my car.

-remove the bonnet stand

-friendly hwp officer (concerned about harmful emissions) wants a look at your under bonnet party

-gets a tired arm from holding up bonnet

-cant get head down to have a good look around the engine bay

-can no longer hold up bonnet

-lets you go and defects your oversize wheels instead

no bonnet stand ftw!

They will probably send you for inspection over the pits at a later date..

why cant they be friendly copz? "hey mate, sorry for the delay, im required to perform this breath test as part of our drink driving preventative measures. thanks, you can now be on your way. nice 'line by the way."

i would be the nicest cop ever. id harass commodores with mismatching wheels, and unroadworthy shitboxes. oh and hatchbacks with cannons.

Actually funny story once, after i sold my s15 for a new BMW 325i I was pulled over for a breath test and the officer was soooooo polite; completely not what i was used to.

He called me 'sir' and i had to quickly glance at my passenger seat to make sure i didnt have anyone else with me lolz!

Im thinking jeeeezus the day I dont have a sportscar im 'sir' all of a sudden, better change then "licence, pop bonnet, bend over, blow in this." lolz

Bend Over??? WTF!

What's BEND OVER got to do with it? :(

Obviously you've never been pulled over by more then one officer at a time...

obviously it was light-hearted in nature. if they were determined to reap revenue from you im sure a missing bonnet stand wouldnt stop them.

Lolz when they search for internal contraband.

Now you know what they mean by the long arm of the law!

Cop: Ok you'll feel some pressure, Im just looking around

Victim: For what a parking spot, get it out

OK sorry Johnny,

take the bus ahhaha true... yeh a few friends of mine years ago in some serious vl's used to say the bonnet release as stuffed so they would get a $75 fine, could been alot worse with everything under the bonnet counted, but no defect.

comin back from melbourne in the 33 with the mrs, got pulled over 3 times for RBT one stop had at least 2 cops, they were all grinning but the lady cop was nice and i didnt get anything.

Drove my mums beemer out in town once, cops did a u turn, followed me for ages, pulled me over to ask me whos car it is. then breathe tested me, searched it etc. the day i got off my p's not even the slightest glance.

hmm the fact that they make U open the bonnet is one thing thats wrong with that and the other is that if u dont have a bonnet stand they will make U hold it open so u will b the one with the sore arms from holding it open :P

yeh but i hurt my shoulder at work and cant do any heavy lifting...

they cant make you open the bonnet or hold it. if they want to have a look then they can do so all by themself. last time i popped it, but the cop actually went to the front and lifted it i think.

next time im going to flat out refuse. i figure they cant actually forcibly open your bonnet without a warrant, and i can easily say, "do you do this to everyone you pull over? no? well, ive got more important things to do, you can admire my car another time. good day officer."

Prior to that, what if you can't find the bonnet-release ???

That actually worked for my wife, she was coming back from work in the 33 and got pulled over. Knowing that since she was driving a "pick me" car much like the harassment we got when whenever we drove the Torana around.

But this time since she'd never popped the hood, she didn't actually know where the release leaver was. (albeit she didn't open her eyes to look for it). The nice Mr Plod, got annoyed with her and just let her go with a few words of advice about modifications.

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
