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

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!!!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
