Yes, 3 times in 2 months is a lot, perhaps if you had a nice 4 door? :P

Or better still, a sweet-as Stagea? I mean, as if they are going to hassle a wagon driver. It resembles a bloody Volvo, so if anything, I reckon I'll be picked on for 'going too slow' LOL

Hi i just bought a 32 GTR from Vic. It came with a RWC and i booked it in to have the VIN numbers checked so it can be SA registered.

They said it has no compliance plates which i thought is normal as it is older than 15 years. Now apparently it has to undergo a full regency inspection to get SA registration. Not happy.

hope all goes smooth as gravy for you, mr x.

p.s im looking at purchasing a car from interstate, so would be keen as to what is required for it to be registered here in SA. i've heard many conflicting stories which is putting me off atm.

What happened last night was so lame. I was taking my missus home at about 12:45am. I was at the lights waiting for it to turn green to turn onto torrens rd. Anyways, hardly any cars were on the rd at this time and i see this cop car flying me (about to go pass) with its lights flashing but no sirens then he sees me waiting at the lights. He slows down completely and im just sitting there going wdf does he want. Lights I was waiting for goes green and he pursue's to follow me then flashes his lights and all that bs. Cop goes 'there has been some cigarettes stolen from a shop, would you please open you boot' but he then goes 'you dont have to thought', WDF? Anyways, I do then he checks my back seats then goes 'ok thanks or some shit along those lines'. As he goes to his car, a supra was going in the opposite direction and Im not shitting you, he did an illegal u-turn and cained it after the poor import. What a wanker for pulling me over for no good reason.

ps. I was driving my aunties stock as a rock s13 silvia. I was targeted for sure. And sure would have been that supra.

Poor Nozilla..

Now some word of advice..haha.

1.your asian

2.you drive a car which most asian drug dealers around arndale drive

3.it was late at night

It would have been different had you been driving a commodore, and were aussie..

So either don't go around that area or get get your gf to move to another neighbourhood..lol

It's a fact that cops around that area will pull over any suspiscous looking asian..

Hanson rd is full of aboriginal hookers..

Gotta love my neighbourhood. haha

COP THIS cnr wright rd and grandjunction coming home from work, this donut muncher (FAT COP) is directing traffic, lights were out. I was turning right heading towards holden hill, this fat revenue raiser waves me over ,says Your rear carbon wing is illegal, your dual a pillar guages are illegal! I said "really i wasn't aware of that officer" fat pig says "If i werent so busy I'd give you a one way ticket to regency" NOW WTF are you to say to that???? I'm 32 drive a modified skyline i was coming home from work and this f**ken donut muncher makes a scene in front of all the traffic. NO shit where is the community spirit they are "supposed" to instill in all the new police recruits??? Im sick and tired of the bullshit the SAPOL are doing to us "car enthuisiasts" they really shit me,(had to get that off my chest!) Seriously if you piggies read this forum go f yourselves!

Don't really see your problem... he's hardly going to stop directing traffic to give you a defect notice, so he gave you a warning. :yes:

he had his partner there and he was gettin the defect pad out. he stopped directing traffic to pick me out from 5 other cars. ya peanut

haha - still don't see your problem. Your car has defectable items and he threatened to defect you... ?

Oh noes, you are so hard done by. The cop was just doing his job - if a cop spots an obviously illigal car, there's no reason he can't defect it, doesn't matter about the situation, it's the risk you run by driving a modified car.

^^^^^ Too true Platinum, I went for a drive up thru Birdwood on Monday, to discover when i turned left i had about 5-6 cops looking straight at me at a Bretho, I was devistated and said to myself "the time has finally come" couldn't turn around because that would have been WAY to obvious, so i had to bite my tongue and deal with it. The lady officer told me to blow into the bretho, and she checked my car from where she was standing and said have a nice day!!!! I was like "what the" and drove of quietly.......lol damn i was lucky!!!

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Rb26/30 build

      By Butters · Posted

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      Rb26/30 build

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
