looking nice

Me and 2 of my other mates car got defected tonight at Villi's carpark... cops were weird and all angry for some reason tonight... as i was walking towards my car after a meal at Villis a cop drove his car in and blocked my car, friends s13 and my other friends integra... didnt know what we did wrong but he called 2 more cop cars to come and they completly blocked us from going anywhere. it wasnt like we were going to do a runner or something cos we didnt do anything wrong.. then after cops came out and type all our number plates up and blah blah, checked out our cars and then gave us 3 defect each for stupid reason such as bald tires and crap.. Are these cops bored tonight or were they just finding a place to target us easy . . .

Your right, being defected for bald tyres is stupid, stupid on your behalf!

you should be smart enough to have decent tread, not only for avoiding a defect, but insurance.

you do realise bald tyres void your insurance policy?

and as Luke said, cop shop defect, you come out lucky considering.

...and performance! Wheres all the power going to go if the tyres are bald.

In the dry bald tyres will enhance performance, in the wet you'll aquaplane across the top of the water if there's enough of it and have zero traction

Uh... no they won't. Once tyres have gone bald they have almost certainly gotten very very hard and be uneven. They will give terrible performance in that state.

a little excessive, yes, but not exactly out of the ordinary.

it wasnt like we were going to do a runner or something cos we didnt do anything wrong..

and? cops obviously accounted for all possibilities.

bald tyres is a stupid defect? since when?

seriously, man the f**k up, you got a cop shop defect for something that is an obvious safety issue and youre complaining?

remember, you own a skyline, they couldve made it a whole worse with very little effort.

people that have bald tires deserve to get defected IMHO.....i normally change my tires as soon as they get to the wear marker....i dont know why people put all the money in enhancing performance of their cars when they cheap out on tires......ffs thats the only thing between the road and you......and craig is correct in regards to insurance as well.......seriously man just get some new tires (cheapies if it may be) and get the defect cleared.....you got off rather easy....but thats just the luck

Uh... no they won't. Once tyres have gone bald they have almost certainly gotten very very hard and be uneven. They will give terrible performance in that state.

OK. Of course, you're almost certain that if a tyre is bald it's hard and uneven..... race cars run slicks in dry weather because they perform worse, didn't know that!

theres a pretty significant difference between a f**ked out street tyre with no tread and an engineered full slick with 5mm of high quality rubber to get through.

The compound that the tyre is made from in a racing slick is completely different then a normal tyre.

A normal road tyre with no tread does nothing but give you worse traction in all aspects and conditions.

obviously ;)

Again, obvious. I'll agree to disagree, cause I'm not talking about shagged tyres that are well past their expiry

Also not implying it shouldn't be a defect

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
