Reading threads like this is the only reason I have to be happily living in the NT

Reading this thread makes me glad i've got my car 100% legal and engineered so I don't have to care if the police pull me over and give me an EPA/canary for something they aren't sure about.

Actually scratch that above sentence...

After reading this thread I'm glad I'm not driving a skyline, but driving a Datsun. The police only pull you over to tell you they owned one when they were young, or their dad rallied them... :P

Ha ha ha ha...classic...an absolute classic! hahahah...I especially like the SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR PANTS line. However, I see your point mate, that's why I'm going to keep my GTR stock as a freaken rock. I need to clear the defect on the GTS-T so that I can sell the fuucka....thanks mate...

:P

Yeah keep it stock.

Just for a peace of mind, stock GTR airbox, BOV and FMIC can handle a decent 300 kW's no probs, so if you are looking at that sort of power, then you should be fine with them.

and the bit bout cops pulling you over in a import is part of the reason, but its also what you look like

i was driving my mum's 03 camry one night at around 3am, just cruising and there was a commodore with a green p and southern cross full of bogans, he was in front of me and turned left, and i turned too, cop car saw me did a u-turn and pulled me over. she breath tested me saying someone called 000 saying i was driving dangerously :S

but clearly it was because 3 wogs in a car at that time, cos the commodore had a full car load yet he wasnt pulled over and he was the only car around, so tell me how that works?

Yeah thanks mate...I've really lost interest in all the 'wank factor' stuff...don't know why, maybe because I've had enough of the shit cops give us and that I'm getting older perhaps.

Regardless the reason, I just want to turn my car back to stock and leave it that way...can't be bothered any more to be honest.

Hi all, as part of my endeavours to look as stock as possible, does anyone have a R33 GTR bonnet they can sell?

You could get your bonnet painted (colour matched too), so that you still have a carbon fibre bonnet, but looks less conspicuous. I think Carbon fibre bonnets are illegal anyway mainly due to the fact they can splinter when pedestrians hit them (a bit the same like carbon fibre dash boards, when you hit them they don't give the thing you hit them with back!)

So I guess it's your choice! :cheers:

I'd just like to report to everyone that i finally got my car back yesterday after 5 weeks of it in the workshop getting a roadworthy! :cheers:

I wasn't required to get a RWC, i've been pulled over 6 times this year and haven't been given a canary or anything, but like the title says - sick of fearing cops - and i wanted it to be totally legal and drive more frequently. it's sad, in the first 6 years I was never pulled over once, and this year has definately made up for that.

so fellow SAU'ers you will finally see me out and about and at more cruises now, looking forward to summer!

Solution: Move to a regional city lol - more access to open roads, and less cops per person. lol

I've been pulled over twice since i bought my car, once i was "driving out a bit late, sir?" and the other i was radar'd at 6 kms over the limit. Both times the police were very nice and respectful, and curious about the car. They are so used to falcodores being defected for rusting or bad condition they arent that experienced in spotting possible boost controllers etc.

Neither less, address the attention grabbing issues and you will be fine. I'm currently looking into buying a plumb back and getting a quieter exhaust, once thats done i dont expect a second look!

Ok let me get this straight, your avatar is "ItalianSuperHunk" :) yet you're saying the cops kinda pulled you over for how you look? I get the feeling that you're either Asian or African or something...hahahaha....

Speaking of stereo-typing, one punch line that I always get is...so let me guess, you either drive a Skyline, WRX or an Lancer Evolution, right? I'm like...fark, you got me again...

I'm of Asian background...although I was born in Australia and speak with a freaken Aussie accent, but regardless, Asians are labelled as Rice-burners....and I guess, it's not hard to understand why?

Cheers.

My CF bonnet is already painted black to match the car...but has vents and all that 'wanky' stuff...I just want it to look stock as rock...doesn't bother me if people think my car looks stock, shit or not fast...it's what's under the hood when I hit 4K RPM that matters... :D

So does anyone have a stock GTR bonnet to sell please please?

Good to hear buddy....good to hear...basically, the boys in blue have won...I just want my car to look stock as anything else and in-betwen is just not required...I really have lost the love for my Skylines after this year...sick and tired of getting pulled over and treated like a criminal...so I absolutely agree with you mate!

Better than people thinking you should drive a commo or falcon IMO. We all get stereo-typed. (I'm UK decent (4th or 5th gen)Aussie)

Wow, such passion and love for the 'R'...word! So you seriously would rather have a ball sack in your mouth than drive a VL Calais Turbo? Oh yeah...

I don't know. I'd rather drive a suzuki mighty boy at a B&S ball than have another mans balls in my mouth. :santa::cheers:

    • 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.
