A message to all modified skyline owners in victoria, yesterday i got pulled over by cops and was slapped a defect on my skyline in the CBD. Funny thing is I had 3.5 inch exhaust system with a 5 inch tip, Nismo 400R bodykit, lowered springs, BOV, airfilter, 2 HKS pillar mount gauges, Microtech computer with handset (when caught) and the works etc.

I managed to talk my way out of it and was only defected by a "LOOSE HANDBRAKE LEVER" and need to get a RWC done.

PART 2 was RWC was done by a dodgy mechanic, so I took it to VIC ROADS, they didnt even bother to check my car! STAMP-FREE to GO! so whaddaya think guys? Also I heard that cops and on the prowl for modified cars, so beware!

Odd, from the outside my ride would look the same as yours.

Lowered, 400r kit but without modded exhaust.

I have been eyeballed by lots of cops and not pulled over once.

I spose whenever they see me I'm adhering to the traffic laws and not driving erractically.

Maybe my car doesn't look like a "hoons" car. :)

That bad-boy image will catch up with you sooner or later :)

HaHa, posting in relay here Jimbo.

I don't have a bad boy image, you know that. I have absolutely no interest at all in Louise's young friends.

Whatever you heard, I had nothing to do with any of it.

defection is nothing.

it comes with a modified car.

and the little 'dodgy-RWC' comment i wouldn't talk about that here.

And when we (i) organise cruises we have nothing to worry about. We've never had problems so relax.

Just got done in Fitzroy street.

BOV, should be easy to fix

Exhaust to low, hopefully the TEIN suspension, i can raise it

Nardi Steering wheel, no centre pad, (will have to check into this)

Front end to be aligned, although the tyres passed.

The last 2 are interesting ones, he said just get an alignment.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
