Yes I saw you waving like mad this morning Bodo, I had to put my coffee down to wave.

Nice! would have been hard to miss.

I was driving Maureen to work. But i should see you more regularly, as I'll be starting half an hour later for a while :)

booked for speeding last night. Cop trying to throw the book at me and my skyline. Wanted to defect me for no wiper blade on rear window and no high brake light. Was very disappointed when he tried to book me for a C/F boot lid, only to be told it was a sticker..

he is the first asshole cop I've come across since having this car. I guess i was long over due. Started preaching to me how my car is un-roadworthy and that if he sees it on the road again he is going to pull me over and defect it.

Being an R33, it has a high mount stop light from factory on both the S1 and S2. If the rear wing has been remove and/or replaced with an aftermarket item, then yes it's illegal unless a high mount has been fitted to the rear parcel shelf.

What about in the cases where a gtr wing has been fitted to a gtstas a factory optional? I heard that it is a optional I myself am just going off things I've heard.

GTR's seem fine for some reason. Ive never heard of a GTR wing being factory fitted. but yes, all R33 gtst's came with the third brake light. which makes crap all sense seeing as there are 4 already on the back

Legit gtr wings have a light strip in them.

this I did not know. 32 GTR's don't. So i assumed 33's didn't either

Well mines not a factory optional then XD

guess not

i know it should have on, just a really poor thing to bring up when the other lights work fine

agreed. Hopefully you don't get more grief because of one bad piece of bacon. (or decide my car is close enough to yours and hassle me now)

On this topic, it's been ages since i was last pulled over.....maybe they final realise I drive like a granny normally, and that my car has nothing done to it.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
