ok i went 2 cop stn this arvo. they said i cant write a letter of everything that happened and put a copy of the fine with it. send it to this place, they'll review it, put it on hold and see where it goes from there. if they see i wasnt in the wrong im all good if not i can go 2 court. when i told him i had only just been over speed bump and not even 20m later i get pulled over for doin 72km in 50 zone he looked surprised. then when i said that the cop was tailgatin me he said oh definatly put this letter in. so fingers crossed

basically say you were trying to evade a tailgater and get out of their way or out of fear. I've been advised of ppl being followed for the purpose of stealing their car so it's not such a far fetched idea that this happens.

They ask you about the previous few years when first getting the policy but not after that, nothing mentioned in the policy handbook anyway.

Pretty sure they say that YOU have to make them aware of any further infringements, the onus is on YOU to make sure THEY are aware of your driving record. Maybe it only applies for serious offences.

as u suggested its usually only meant for accidents that were ur fault or loss of licence etc etc.

not for getting dermit points... for example going 12kmh over the limit and getting 1 dermit point.

TBH I don't really care, but I think before any of you take anything for granted, you should call your insurance company and find out.

I was only stating what *I* was told in an effort to stop anyone getting taken for a ride by an insurance company trying to weasel out of a claim.

generally when they try to weasel out of a claim of say 4-6k just keep bugging them about it and say youll take it to court. Generally it's cheaper for the insurance company just to pay you out, I know this firsthand and if you'd like anything answered by someone who works in the industry you can pm me. (I don't work in the industry, someone close to me does and isnt just a ground level chump either)

you can say you had to spped up to avoid having an accident, this does work in some cases ie passing a red light because person behind you was sticking wright to your bumper. all you have to do is explain the cop was travelling dangerously close to your car (not slowing down for speed bumps) so you tryed to avoid the dangours driver as he was to close for you to attempt to pull over and let him pass. the wost that can happen is you still get your fine but if the cop does this several times evetually court will have to let people off.

one of the best things we could do as a motor enthusiast group is to keep a forum open to names and action of dangour cop driving and thing they do to unlawfuly to take are point eventully if someone name comes up a few times it can be used as evidence and i know this has been done to cops who pick on groups of people.

p.s what a f**kign wanker

I somewhat doubt that "I had to SPEED up to AVOID an accident" would hold up in court very well, but I very well could be wrong never been a situation like this.

Anyway how did this situtation go, get a court summon yet and what not?

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
