haha, internet english is a shocking language.

Doesn't require too much intelligence when there's guys driving around with I <3 HWY stickers all over their VL's...

Here is something I prepared earlier.

I couldn't help but shake my head for a long, long time...

Here are some of my stats: full license, intact.

Honda Euro-owned 3 years-0 random checks.

Skyline 33-owned 1 yr- 9 "random" checks.

S15-owned 3 months- 4 "random" checks with 2 EPA

mr2 turbo-owned 5 monts- 1 random check

Yamaha r1 motorbike-5 "random" checks.

So basically, if its import, sports car, you will be picked on. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

Oh but man...didn't you read the advice? Drive safely without doing anything stupid and you'll be fine (fineD). You obviously didn't drive how you normally drive when you were in the imports.

^^ don't forget the D. Hwy patrol loves giving you the D

#1 post I have seen from a-a-ron!

dw.... it only took 14,582 to get there

Another update of my experience....

Drove down to local coles to buy milk last night, at like 9:30pm. Drove into the carpark, and at the roundabout, there was a car on my right, so I stopped and gave up, then I saw a cop car behind the first car, so I waited a couple of seconds. The cop just looked at me and stayed stationary.

So I drove through the roundabout knowing that he was waiting for me, drove around the carpark and found a park, got out. He pulled up behind me, wind his window down.... So I said g'day office, he replies with "got your drivers license?". He went through all the checks then let me go.

Are imports targeted or was it random? you be the judge lol

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
