Gauges are fine as long as they are below the Dash line....so pretty much no pillar gauges and you will be fine

ok, thanks..

cheers for everyone who has helped me.

im happier if i stay on the right side of the law, (not that i hate modifying cars)

but when your young and look even younger it seems the cops pul you over a tad more.

same here.. im staying legal now... got sick of going to regency almost every month.. big waste of money

still got some illegal mods but theyre so hidden even regency doesnt pick them

This my first post :P

so i got defected on the weekend :bunny:

just wanna know is there a certain limit between the spoke of the rim and the brake caliper??

thats one of those things that u just would never even think about, so tbh i doubt anyone actually could give u a yes or no answer, just that it sounds f**king stupid lol.

my OZ's literally miss the calipers by a fraction of a mm haha

My spokes on the rims just clear the brake callipers and i dont think there is a legality about them

unless ur spokes are rubbing hard on your callipers then you would have a slight problem.....sounds similar to what i got picked on first time (Suspected Suspension Damage)

sometimes those defects are plain bloody ridiculous

Sounds like you got defected for a silly reason. Did you piss the cop off at all? Hoon or give him attitude? They will generally get you for anything if you fail the "attitude test".

Perhaps find a wheel shop to clear things up for you.

suspected suspension damage, wtf... is that their professional opinion?

i kept my r32 in exactly same condition since it left regency last time, yet im still afraid of getting defected coz of shit like this

Yep suspected suspension damage rok

most stupidest reason for ever being defected but nothing to worry about even the regency inspector laughed at that when he saw what i was defected for....

Regency had a laugh some years ago when I took my bike there (Suzuki TL1000R). Got defected for the distance apart of my indicators. Bike cop reckoned the law was 24cm minimum. I said it was 27cm and my indicators were 32cm apart ... he wouldn't have a bar of it ... me knowing my own bike better than him, how silly of me :) Cops were (and still are) picking on bikes for rear mudguards. I had a stock rear guard and he didn't like not having that to defect me for. The cop clearly had no idea what he was looking for, so did me for stock indicators at the rear ... even tho I had the aftermarket ones on the front! As Regency said: "You're kidding right?".

Cop gave me plenty of attitude. Don't know what his problem was. I reported his conduct anyway ... considering he almost caused an accident also. I was nice and polite right up to the end, until he said "I know your type. Riders like you don't learn nothing until you're killed." ;) Thats when I went off. "You don't know me! I've been riding 18 years (at the time) and NEVER had any traffic offences or defects until you came along, on your Government funded scooter, you wannabe!". My friend had to walk me away and try to reason with the cop before I got into trouble :O I'm polite to cops, but I also hate people being disrespectful, especially those who must behave in a professional manner!

I respect the law. But I'm no saint ... but nor am I a hoon. I pick the right time and place to have a little squirt of fun, and I'd like to think that after 20 years, I've been picking those moments well and safely. If I get busted misbehaving, I'll cop it sweet. I rarely get pinged in my car (a minor ticket 0-15 over every 2 years or so) and never nicked on any of my bikes. So I respect the law, but expect the law to respect me back ... and that one cop, that one time, really did nick me off ... but I know they're not all like that.

u dont need to give the cop attitude to get stupid defects, if u think otherwise ur ignorant.

my personal favourite was being defected for suspension being "too stiff"

i felt like saying "is that in ur professional opinion?"

police having control over deciding whether our cars are roadworthy or not is like getting a interior designer to fix ur plumbing.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
