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.

    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
