As the subject suggests, I hope everyone had a great new years eve !!

I had a great little encounter on New Years eve and I hope its a sign of things to come.

Anyway I was stopped by a "highway patrol" car (one of the new brightly painted Fords) on my way home after work in North Melbourne.

I thought here we go, they are going to bust me for being too loud or too low.

The cop asked me for my license and told me he was going to do a random breath test. While the cop checked my license his partner started walking around my car, and even crouched down to look underneath. At this point I thought he was going to start asking me what mods I have.

To my complete surprise he said "great car" he told me to take it easy and to have a safe new years eve.

I was totally shocked, my last few encounters with cops have been painfull.

Anyway just thought it would be nice to post about a pleasent encounter with the cops, and I hope we can all be this fortunate this year.

Cheers :P

ba denham! I got pulled over quite a few times in melb for various things (the most notable being the 3 days before I left) and in every instance (where i was driving!) they've let me go without incident. Once you get older the hassle gets smaller, you're not a "target" anymore for them..

I spent new years on broadbeach which was great. See the photo in my thread, that is basically where i spent NYE, drinking on the beach (which is fully legal, unlike police state VIC), and there were fireworks there. So yeah, good :P

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
