Buying A Skyline That Had Been Defected Before

[Steve37]

Hey guys, i read through this and picked up people getting defected for pods, how does that work in Vic, wouldn't the pod be the one intake mod youre allowed?

[Birds]

Yes. The pod on it's own is legal. The problem is that many also run front mount intercoolers, which counts as another intake mod.

[Steve37]

I was under the impression that because the car came with an intercooler as stock that we would be allowed to run a FMIC and a Pod

[KURAUN]

Nope only if the car comes with a FMIC then you can run a FMIC (factory not aftermarket) and pod

SMIC upgraded to FMIC and pod is a no go

[Birds]

The rule as it is written, is one intake modification...so technically, if you upgrade a standard front mount (in the case of a GTR) to an aftermarket...that counts as a mod.

there will be a lot of blitzes on real soon. i work in the media so i get the heads up about them. I shall let people know if there are any. they wont really target imports but if u are driving one and happen to have to go thru one there is a good chance they will get you in to have a look.

I dont have any problems with the gtr. this is why i got rid my R33 gtst. got pulled over all the time.

[gtsttrk]

its an r33 what you think they are worth? and highly modified its worth less as its probably not coming with a rwc.

mods have no value.

I'm more concerned as to why he wants to buy a GTS..

Just reread OP, thought it said it was a GTR!

Well your all saying that you get picked on, here are a few stories of bad driving from last week that I saw. (none in imports too)

Idiot 1: drink driver crashes car, 4 times limit, Learner driver too without fully licensed driver.

Idiot 2: Learner driver crashes car when he had 2 mates in car that could drive on P plates.

Idiot 3: runs through red light right in front of marked police car, fails to indicate twice, does 15km/h over speed limit and only had one tail light.

Idiot 4: Learner driver again without fully licensed driver, no lights on at night and then tries to tell me she is her 44yo mum and just looks 17.

Idiot 5: Another one that runs red light in front of marked police car, no tail lights at night and fails to indicate twice.

Add to this a pursuit, and number of other cars caught doing 20+ over limit. All this was right in front of me or called to scene of accident.

And from the other side of the fence, i went to a dyno day about 2 months ago, a few weeks later i got an epa noise letter in the mail, so did 4 other ppl, i know 2 of the other ppl that got a letter, no one saw a cop car and the times on the letters spanned an hour so the gutless mr proctor (how ever his name is spelt) was hiding somewhere writing down rego's, it was publicized that the event was registered with the local cops so every one behaved themselves and were not doing stupid shit, mine and my mates car were 92db (dont know about the third), at normal driving conditions there is no way in hell that any one could have picked 2db from a distance.

This particular cop has visited many workshops around here and has told them that he does not care if they have engineers or not he is going to target every modified car and make there life hell.

I do believe cancer was invented for people like this!
