And sadly, even though I love modified cars, and would no doubt enjoy your modifications, unless you have an exemption or recognised engineering approval from our friends at Transport SA....the car is illegally modified in the eyes of SAPOL. Sucks eh, but I dont make the rules. Now see my point? :blink:

i have a feeling that this is going to get locked quite soon...

anyways, glad to see neil is being proactive about contacting us to let us know whats what and put rumours to rest.

Point taken but I daresay if his gtr was imported under the 15 year rule (89/90) then he's exempt from the 1990's emission laws and only needs his exhaust to measure legal noise limit... pods secured are ok etc etc, splitting hairs here but its important to note that theres rarely any consistency in the law between makes and models (aside from the obvious)

-D

don't know why people get shitty at martin? i know many people including my mechanic who swears by his tuning!

anywho well it's good to hear they aren't gonna target us because of this incident but only time will tell if it's true

the issue is that most cars on the road are technically illegal, how many cars older than 2000 would pass regency first time with an anal inspector?

I'll tell you again, like the 1000 times I told you the other night.......I'm just responding to your post.....I'm guessing then that another Mod editted your post.

If you want to keep going toe to toe with me, you may consider post 48 as your last.....stop being a smartass.

Thanks Nene for going the extra yards and letting us all know what Neil said to you . :D

Hi martin and thanks for your comment's , its always good to hear from you and to have your input. :)

As for the rest of you people having a go at him , SHAME SHAME SHAME.

Only having 300 or so posts just means that he only speaks when something is worth saying , unlike the rest of you post whores . LOL

This is why we dont see the likes of Munro etc on the forum much anymore .

These guys are the ones that brought us all the little tips that you guys save money on (learn from other peoples experience and mistakes).

back on topic now.

The missus had a cop seriously check out the line for the first time today (watched her go past then did a u'e and followed her for a few k's) when she was dropping our daughter off at school this morning . Nothing Happened , but made her feel a little nervous though .

With Nene doing our homework , :D makes me feel grateful and put's my mind to ease a little bit , Thanks again. :P

At least Martin takes the time to PROD you kiddies. Personally I usually dont bother.

You should listen to someone who actually knows what he is talking about:

Stock GTR - Pods, exhaust and PowerFC tuned by Martin - 265AWKW - 50,000 Kms over last 20 months since tune - no blown turbos - no blown motor - drives to work every day.

Only the best to tune the car.

On the SAPOL front - i have not seen any additional attention shown to my GTR and I do plenty of Kms in it - been through breatho recently and no particular attention paid to the car.

I guess that most of us on the forums are the real car enthusiasts or else why join a forum if your only keen on hooning around? thats just my point of view.

+1 for having a good communication link with SAPOL through Neil

keep the defectable cars off the road, saves trouble and lives.

it sure is great to have a police officer we can talk with that doesnt seem to have let the power get to their head and doesnt abuse their position of power.

good stuff neil.

yeah keep going smartass....hide behind your so called contribution all you like...............seriously pal, how old are you?!

don't go giving me the "what do you mean" crap either!

look man, if u have an issue with my post PM me, im not going through the same shit as i did last time which resulted in me getting warned.

if neil did come into this thread, wouldnt be a great image seeing this bickering going on amongst us, maybe its time for u to just bite ur tongue like ive done a lot in the last 2 days.

but i will remind u this site doesnt tollerate personal attacks, calling me a smartass post after post, PM after PM is wearing a bit thin.

seriously man, you're a representative for the site, employ a bit more professionalism.

anyway, that's all from me, hopefully this doesnt land me a ban.

I too want to thank Nene and Neil for the communication and understanding they have kept up. Thanks guys. It's really going to make a difference for everyone if this keeps up.
of the issue of martin im taking it to the wasteland as we all should do and leave this a thread about neil

+1 neil respect :)

A big +1 for me.

+2 even.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
