Hey guys,

So on my way to work this morning got stopped by the po po..

and yup they slapped me with a yellow lickey!

All they want me to do is go over the pits to get permits but have nothing wrong with the car!

i got pinged for my tyre gaps being too close low to the guards (dont even have coilovers)?? didnt know there was a law for it,

just thought there was a ride height law and the tyres clear my guards never rubs??

And also Blow off valve are they legal or not?

even stock turbo cars have a blow off valve. so they are not illegal to have on your car.

is it an aftermarket one?

i'm pretty sure even an aftermarket blow off valve would be legal as long as it is all plumbed back into the system and not venting into the atmosphere.

i didnt think there was a law about how close your tyres are to your guards either. i though you had to have a minimum level of clearance on the bottom of your car (100mm) in NSW i think.

it might have different springs on standard shock which would lower the height? not 1005 sure on ride height laws..its probably different in every state..might have to confirm with someone from WA

Is yours a white or black R34 coupe by any chance? I often spot both a black and a white R34 coupe around the Bayswater area going to work in the morning.

This is also where I 'almost' got done.

fix/hide anything you think your going to get picked on for then go over pits and hopefully things will be ok. cops make up there own rules to get you to got over.

as for the height, i heard that it has to be 120mm from the lowest point so it will be 100mm with full car and tank

dont mean to be picky BUT Stock cars dont have BOVs . . .they are called recirculation valves

This is why you guys need to educate yourselves and exercise your rights.

Gap too small between tyre and guard? I'd ask to be shown that law on the spot. I'd make the police officer get whatever book he can pull out to show me the law that I'd be breaking. Stand up for yourselves out there guys!

Don't just "turn the cheek" because you turn too many cheeks and you'll have no face left.

This is spot on and the reason i have never been given a yellow sticker even though having them look under my bonnet many many times....

Had the car over 4 years with stereo, FMIC, POD, low ride, zorst, EBC in sight all the usual mods you see and they try to find anything and i make them explain.... one cop even tried to get more for not having an accessable spare tyre until i proved him that it come straight out even with the subs in the boot un-moved....

know the law and question the police as they need to be able to back themselves.... and best of all record the whole conversation on your phone for evidence :) works a treat when you go show their supervisor that they are tools and have to appologise to you :)

FYI: they record you so you can do the same

Yeh not true. My mate got in a lot of trouble for recording a conversation with a police officer. What's more, when he took them to court, his recorded evidence was dismissed as it was 'not acquired lawfully'.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
