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.

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.

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:

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

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
