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.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
