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'.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
