One option is to fight it like the bikie gangs do. Form a car club with high entry fees, pool the money and use this to fight ALL suspect fines to members. The club helps document and organise mat

Updated page from downshift guys. Seems this is being taken quite seriously with a lot of evidence and data being collected from many sources. Good to see that this wasn't just shoved under the rug... how far we get is a completely different ball game.

But as I say, we know that they have targeted these events and that's why I don't attend. I'd much rather have the Maxima moving around LP or QR instead of parked up in a show. That's just me.

If you know that the event has a stigma and a high chance of this sort of behaviour, why attend?

All this talk with the cop bullshit and latest crap associated with downshift has me worried about gettin a defect for my basically standard Gtr I just got ! Was nearly guna go to that DS meet glad I didn't ! My car has just been complied to meet Aussie car standards with a few tweaks to get it past that cops don't know, so could I use that as an argument if one challenges me about a defect issue? When and if the day arrives I get pulled up.

I only have tein coilovers but only lowered to a reasonable level not on its guts,

Stainless exhausts n cannon that's not super loud

Mushroom hks air filters with hks intake piping to AFM

And a electronic boost controller that is right up under the bottom steering column cover out of sight. All the rest is standard but the way these cops seem to be carrying on seems if I don't drive a Camry or commodore executive your guna get a defect notice!?!?!?! Absolute joke and a real negative vibe they are creating for themselves I think, no wonder they get called 'p.i.g.s' !

MOD PLATE EVERYTHING! Your car is cleaner than my GTR and I get very little attention. Remove the boost controller, its a defect. Get a mod plate for the exhaust and the suspension at the bear minimum. If you need a mod plate guy to come to you, let me know and I'll get the number of the guy that did mine. He was cheap and knew all the rules.

I hate cop attention as much as the next guy, we need to stand together and show these dream boats cops we WILL NOT GO AWAY!

The club released its statement regarding the AMEP/ DS/ Grunt Files at the AGM. This will be available to members shortly.

In short, if you don't want to get defected, drive like a normal person, fly under the radar and don't have anything outrageously stupid on your car.

In the last 24 months, we've only had one member defected. This is because we don't go to events that attract the police.

So roll over and hope the problem goes away?

Take the company ute/van to the next car show in fear of the GTR being defected? Bit unfair isn't it?

Soon all car cruises will be bog stock caddies sprinters and hilux utes! Bit plain and boring

Cheers hr31gts got a number for a mobile guy to do mod plates, don't drive round like a 'p platin hoon' respect my car and the law but ya can't help a cop with attitude and power trip most of the time!

That's it pretty boring car meet if we all rock up with our family/standard wagons.

Personally, I don't like going to shows. I'd much rather actually drive the wheels off my car and prefer track work. Unfortunately this hasn't happened much lately but it will always be the preference.

I'm not saying sit there and take it, I'm saying avoid events where they've got a poor reputation. Events like DS are notorious for cop trouble so why attend?

as i own a 180sx i originally was on nissansilvia.com for a while but they had a reputation for getting in to trouble at events and cruises, this the main reason I'm apart of SAU. the first meet i went to with nissanslivia was at the P4 carpark at homebush, i parked down the road and walked in. i was there five minutes before the cops blocked off all the exits.

This is true. Sau has a pretty good rep nationally!

The AMEP have a site on Facebook that have updates about the situation on Sunday and progress they are having with talking to police comissioners and discussing improvements to discrimination against modified cars. Worth a read if interested or anyone has input and evidence for them as further ammunition to help stop the power trippin cops out there.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
