I have commented, but I doubt it'll get approved lol.

Left a comment too!

Yeah good old media filtering at its best! Australia was a democracy last time i checked! Would be nice if the actually took into account the views of clubs like this and some of the other reputable clubs in SA rather than forcing political viewpoint on the wider community and therefore basically black listing anyone and everyone that drives an import.

Surprisingly mine got published :blush:

well if you let 16 year olds drive cars on "Learners", they will drive how they act.........Like 16 year olds!!!!!

Hahaha what quality. And they all most likely in the 60+ age bracket... old school keyboard warriors!

I love the comments like "Lock them up in jail for life" and "crush their car and their license for ever" and "this is why the road toll is huge!" and "reduce the national speed limit to 50k/h"

Hang on... these kids were ripping skids... I'm not condoning it, yet there's far more worse things I could think of (eg. drink driving, etc).

I just left a comment. f**k these people shit me, they act as if they are the perfect drivers on the road. Never done nothing wrong on the road in my life yet back when they were 20 they were dragging for money down Victoria Rd in their hotted up Monaro's and Shakers.

I knew some people would think i am an idiot and say i have no idea.. Well without bursting out i personal life I DO!!!

I know laws are different state to state so i can't speak for all but if you keep you car looking in order then most times you will be right

and yes you will get the odd studid ass cop but not all of them. And on the power subject just a quick run down at least correct for QLD.

KNN Panel filter, Full exhaust, Good high flow cat, Twin Dump Pipe (CES), Good Electric Boost controler, Good Front Mount (Greedy or Real Hybrid)

Haltech E11 V2 or Greedy Platinum, Highflowed Factory Turbo.. Tuned properly(important) and you will get 250kw/atw and the rest and thats not to mention the torque..

And all the above you may notice is legal, does't stand out and still peforms. By the way maybe my comment on 400Kw/W was pushing it but hey i don't know,

if it don't look like you have riped all the polution gear off and its not loud, theres no externaly vented BOV. no unboxed pod filter most of the times you will be ok,

well at least the people i have been stoped with have been. But then it is qld so i don't know about other states, but i don't belive this thread was just about SA.

This is just my thoughts so every one to there own.

And for the record i am all for a nurburgring in Australia but just can't see it...

WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT

biggest load of shit ever , "victims of crime fund"

oh and out of all them cars impounded etc , how many were skylines ?

im dying to know.

mitch do u even know anyone that has been a "victim of crime"??

my ex from a few years back used to beat the absolute shit out of me day in day out........i put up with it for god knows how long and god knows why.......

im not saying that crushing the cars is a good way to support the victims of crime........but just be careful about what u say when it comes to things like that....i was put under the "victims of crime" title when i reported everything that happened.....all he got away with was he had to go do a counselling course and a small fine was issued (apparantly) not much for putting up with a constant beating every day for 13 months....

just think a little bit better next time...i know what your trying to say but think of others too please

people were judging you for being in another state 99gt? i was just assuming you knew nothing cause you own a commodore. :rofl: just playing dude relax well all friends here.

too a certain extent your right but then again i know people that have been defected for nothing depends on where the dice falls that day. hell im friends with a cop that defected a stock car because the guy driving it was being a major asshole to him.

simmilar advice could be given dont drive in car clubs and dont drive with other guys in the car because they take it easier on you if your with your mum

i hardly consider it a consistant system some people have had bad experiences n assume its always like that. i must say first 6months of owning my car i felt a lot worse of the situation to now with a decent run of no real hassles.

According to my defect papers the panel filter you stated there would of been defective - "non standard air filter"

Is the exhaust below 90dB?

Boost controller - instant defect.

Aftermarket ECU - pretty sure they wouldnt like that!

HAHA well you know i did bring that on myself... But it is supercharged :banana: thats something... umm no :rofl:

No way is it a consistant system if they are having a bad day well to bad for you. I was pulled over a few weeks ago 2 mins from home it was a young cop and a old cop the old one rudly said license and breath check took my license and stormed off, the old cop let on the window breath tested me ( all zeros shoked cause i had a drink 1/2 hr before) and then while he was waiting for the young cop begain to say nice lookin machine you have here, fancy dash askin questions about my mfd and stuff, funny enough the youg guy still looked pissed he cam back with no priors.. lol older guy said to have a great night.

So you just can't pick them hey.

Exhaust is 86db last time checked.

Boost controller--- Never had a problem, they have seen it. It is used to run the car it is just adjustable thats the difference. You could run this of the ecu and then it would be no different to a stock. ECU and solenoid.

Air filter is a standard item because it fits in the air box it is just a differnt brand.

ECU is used to run the car does't stand out (hidden) how is it a problem.

Again this is only Qld i know the rules for and yes if you get a shity cop he will defect you for not shaving. But if it is something you can have you just fight it. If not well just wear it don't complain thats the main point i guess..

Boost controller and ECU - adjustable and aftermarket so it is defectable be it hidden or not.

I'm talking SA laws though since we're in the SA section afterall; and in regards to you stating it is all legal which it wouldnt have been over here in SA.

Thats fair enough at first post i did't relize this was SA section because i just look at active topics.. But still i was only having a comment at people that complain when the have obvious defects and get caught.. Never said the system was fair..

Spot on SLED emisions is what they always check here any way there is no reason a car can't have big power and be legal u just have to

get it passed.

Im out..

P.s SLED VERY Nice bike and O,,, one hell of a car...

i am so over cops atm, i have been pulled over for the best reason tho, for driving to slow on a dirt road he pulled me over and asked me every road for a mile, saw him coming ages away with his high beams on flying towards my nice clean car and covering me in dust then turning around and pulling me over. god i love cops

Edited by r33 chris

waa waaaa waaa....defect this n defect that... the bigger of a deal you make of it the worse it will get... If you drive a defectable car then prepare to be f**ked by the long dick of the law whether your being targetted or not. Everyone's prepared to spend thousands on their cars, how about spending 500 bux on a daily and not having to worry about it.

oops, nah i was refering to my daily cos thats what i drive 95 percent of the time

i better edit that thread cos its not for sale anymore :rofl:

lol fair enough, was looking at ur av and thinking "mm that doesnt look overly stock" haha

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
