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.

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
