I wouldn't use a S2 wheel as you may not pass roadworthy with it. It has an airbag and the inspector will be looking for the airbag light on the dash, once he turns the key.

I have a S1 steering wheel you can borrow, if you need it. I'm in the Western suburbs, PM me if you want to borrow it.

Whenever you get defected you need to get a rwc.

I got done on princess hwy last night, went through dandenong and saw 6 cops with people pulled over, decided i was going to keep going to warrigul road and then go home, only made it about another 2 minutes up the road then got pulled over, did me for height and bald back tyres, first thing he looked at was the front, in guessing he was looing for a fmic but since mine is painted black he must have missed it since he didnt ask me to open the bonnet, needless to say the passenger very quickly put the power fc hand controller in the glove box and i turned the engine and lights off so he couldnt see the avcr.

Im chasing either a cheap set of coil overs or standard springs, anyone selling any?

He also ticked full rwc.

can you realy get done for a bent numberplate? :)

mine doesn't fit into the standard numberplate slot so its bent as well

Cops are wankers towards skylines.

if everything is in order like they where P platers non turbo's. they will just look for anything to get them done.

i've even heard of seat belt not retracting fast enough :( just to slap a yellow sticker on the car

about a year ago i copped

- seat belt not retracting fast enough

- steering wheel non padded centre

- hand break too many clicks

- induction modification (dumbass was all worried about teh steel pipe and didn't notice the HKS 2835 it was attached to lol)

- wheels too big (18's) which is legal

- tyres too small for rims (245 on 9.5's... which is legal)

damn guess last night was the night to get defected. went to willie beach and there was a few cops stopping people going down the main strip...

was on a cruise with my friends and my friends no turbo 34 got pulled over but got let off because everything is legal. another guy we were suppose to meet there in his supra got defected for bald tyres, a supra sticker on his back window (obstructing vision) and exhaust.

truly teh gay. cops always stuff the night up.

worp if stock r34 na springs fit in your i got some lol.

im still laughing from my defect.. seriously we go there with some mates to catch up with to get some epic donuts and park away from where everyone is..

seriously i got done for no water in my wiper bottle, i have a TEMPLATE around my p plate which doesnt obstruct it or anything and the guy was like take it off right now bla bla. and at the rear for all you guys with skylines know the standard size plates dont fit well at the back and i have custom Non-slim line plates so the ends are slighty bent (less than 45 degree angle)

he had a go at me for ride height and i said i had coilovers and will change it right now infront of him if he didnt believe me, and i asked how much under 100ml is it and he started being rude saying its under 100ml thats all u need to know.. i didnt have my measuring tool in the boot but i cbf arguing cause didnt wanna piss cop off since im getting let off easy with putting water in my wiper bottle and taking off a template.

i think i will need to modify the rear bar now so the plate fits in proper... sigh

KK was insane last night though we rock up and see shit loads of cops blocked it off i was like to go in or not.... HEY THERES LEIGH..! lol they didnt let any car out until they checked every car and there was atleast a good 100 cars there

wow I can't believe how pathetic some of the things are

'hand break too many clicks'

'no washer water in'

its turning into a joke..

sure I can understand they pull over alot of imports due to alot do have illegal mods

but to just hassle you for stupid things shows how much of a power trip these police are on.

Id be writing to the cheif commissioner - with a copy of the notice - or something along those lines

and police wonder why so many people hate them..

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
