Passed, what a waste of $70 that was. Saw Rocky88 down there too. I don't know if he passed or not but his car was pretty loud. Hope all went well though

I passed!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup: yea i had stock exhaust without silencer... well above 100db lol.. but it was only recheck for my ride height so it didnt matter

Good work mate! I kinda had a shot at them when they were peeling the sticker off because as he was doing it I said "thank god for that" he replys " I'll probably see you back here soon though, I know how much you skyline drivers love to just put all the shit back on straight after you pass". I just replied back " Mate, aslong as I've got that P-plate in my window and the "skyline" written across my boot I'm gonna have those stickers in my window" he didn't have a come back so I jumped in the car and left.

anyone know if its defectable to modify the foam in the back seat , backs? not the seat portion but in between?

no structural mods to seat frame just foam center portion between the seats ?

If you get defected for inadequate rear seat foam, ill, well i dunno, do something funny.

fail stewy?
and what for stewy?

a few roadworthy issues, missing a nut and bolt here and there, which is fair enough. then my suspension, i felt like i was talking with a 16yo with his first import, he kept saying i had coilovers, and that coilovers are illegal, i kept telling him that coilovers were standard, the only difference with mine is that my standard components have been replaced, and that the adjustment is within the seats which were not there. i was told on the phone that as long as u arent able to adjust the height without pulling the suspension apart if was considering non-adjustable and legal. the other issue was 2/3 travel, he said "how do we know these maintain 2/3 travel" and i said if i came in with monroe OE replacements, would i be alright? and he said yep, i asked why that was, the only difference between my bilsteins and monroes is one costs a hell of a lot more. apparently when u have bilsteins, ur suspension is all of a sudden considered coilovers, but if u put in monroes or some other budget shock its not.

i might just mention these had been through twice before.

also caster rods, the fact that they'd been through twice before as well didnt seem to matter.

when i was getting defected i was told that he could fine me for everything defectable on my car, which included fining me per rim but he let me off with a fine

lol every cop says that, but none ever do, u might get one breach of adr's, but ive never heard of people getting a breach of ADR's for every defect on their car under normal circumstances.

bought my new car lastnight.....

pulled out of the dudes street....

highway patrol pulls me over.....

defect for bold tyres.....

has to be a record with that one haha less then a minute of owning the car and i get defected haha

at least it was only a cop shop though :) the cop was very chill and i know he could have done more if he wanted but didnt

also gave me 120hours to drive the car. i thought the most you could get was 72? either way i bought new tyers and the cars off defect ;)

yeah i did poo myself abit at first.

the guy started talking to me about the car and asking about it and said how clean it was and even said sorry about defecting me (but it was for unroadworthy tyers so very understandable defect)

gave me 120 hours to drive the car but was very good to have a nice younger cop that wasnt a tool. more like him the better and i told him that too :down:

what area you live in ?

the young cops around here are stuck up and they take it out on the younger drivers for unrealistic things :down:

Had a lucky one today! Got pulled into a random licence check station near the Village, then get asked to pull off to the side.

Cop asked me to pop the bonnet and prepare for a roadworthy inspection, i nearly shat! As Krishy and Chad know, nothing is hidden in my engine bay! Open pod filter, boost controler solenoid, atmo catch can, intercooler and not the quietest exhaust. Both the cops were really nice guys, and surprisingly the older one knew what stuff was! Quick check around the car, asked about BOV (std plumback), bit of chit chat about the car then i was sent on my way!

My views of SAPOL have now changed :thumbsup:

Missus reckons i've got the gift of the gab :P

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
