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?

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

[Martin Donnon]

Well put that one (or that type of thing) on the table for Neil to clarify, and that will be a good step in the right direction for everyone

[nos man]

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?

[SLED]

lol, you got a warning for whoring & posting OT...........don't start

EDIT: I see you editted your post...........I don't miss a beat bud

[nisskid]

beleive me, if it was up to me it wouldnt have been edited lol

but please sled, keep this topic on topic thanks.

[SLED]

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.

[savage GTR]

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

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 , makes me feel grateful and put's my mind to ease a little bit , Thanks again.

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.

[Red Back]

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.

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

[okooko]

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.

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!

[nisskid]

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.

[webng]

this is like watching a soapie...

[medman2damax]

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.
