Yeah must be different as in WA we don't need to display it. In fact we don't get the sticker anymore. It saves the government a lot of money and it is good for the environment.

Yes, Mikhail. In WA, we don't get rego stickers anymore to stick. I also heard we can even get fined for leaving the expired rego sticker still on the front wind screen.

I got pulled up in my sisters 350gt once.

Male cop asked me if the car was stolen, why I had pink number plates, and why there are 20inch rims on it.

I said Its my sisters, I'm not stupid enough to gutter rash 20" Konigs.

he laughed and said simply a good day to you.

Got stopped by a boose bus the oder nite. For the record my car is extremely low. Cop 1st looked at my 8000k HIDs but didnt say anything to me. He then asked me for my drivers license . While reading it he proceed to the back of the car shined his torch in the rear privacy glass. Still didnt say anything. Then looked at my rear wheels and tried to put his hand between the rear tyre and fender. He couldn't even get a finger in der , so he asked me " How low is ur car". I said im not sure but its on coilovers. He didnt know wat that was so i said adjustable suspension. He said its too low . So i said no worries Sir il change it i didnt know and gave him a story about how i didnt expect the car to drop so low. He said yea u jus have to b able to get a finger between the tyre and fender. He then proceeded me to another officer who breathalised me and did a license check. It was all good and i was allowed to proceed scrapping my exhaust and front bumper in a few pot holes. ( they picked the worst place to do the checks). Also wat really helped me was the manner in which i spoke to them every answer of mine was "Yes Sir no Sir", have a guud nite Sir.

Really helps wen u know u cud b a risk of a yellow.

Steve, that was the closest you can get into trouble (Except they bring out a tape measure and you are screwed, together with your low hanging exhaust). The way you conducted with the officers was the best way too, and I think that helped you.

Anyhow, you should raise it up abit, now that you got checked once. Lucky you. :)

Yea man im doing a wheel allignment tomoro. Ive asked them to also raise it in the rear about 10-12mm.

Cool Steve.

I don't think 10mm-12mm is not yet enough though (At least for a fat finger. :P ). 16mm-18mm should be good and safest.

Let me know how it goes. Kinh got his car all sorted out, so we can catch up this weekends. :)

My number 2 experience:

(25-03-11) I went through a booze bus again at night and was first on the queue (again. :P). Young officer went through a normal procedure of random breath test with me.

After that, he asked for my driver's license. He looked at it and said "So you are not on P-plate." I said "No, sir". He looked at my rims and ride height and shone his torch into my rear seats where my brother was sitting. He asked him if he was wearing his seat belt because his shirt was covering it. :P

No problem after that. He was ok. ;)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
