400HP and 13ninety4: you may want to read a little harder. Defects issued for excessive noise from vehicle exhaust, Offensive volume from Car Stereos or starting/driving car with smoke/garbage being emitted from the exhaust carries a 3 point demerit.

Having said that, nobody I know who has been done recently for the exhausts have lost the points. This was a big deal a while back. Maybe they have changed the ruling however with dickheads like Michael Costa as the front runners in the "get rid of modified car hoons" posse, i cant see that happening.

My 2 cents

Croat: correct

99% of the time the police themselves have no exact knowledge of what is and isnt legal, they use their on discretion. Quite often a cop will defect for what they deem illegal but the RTA will clear it. If the engineers report is valid and you present it to the RTA to have it noted and listed on your registration, a cop cannot defect you for items on the engineers report, however anything not listed that they dont like, look out.

If a cop deliberately hammers you for something that is noted on the engineers report and you have done everything right, the solution is simple. Formal complaint.

my old pulsar was engineered... different interior, 4 wheel DBA cross drilled brakes, engine conversion, intercooler, suspension, wheels, exhaust... it was all on there.. cops never got me because i always fronted with the certificate.

Oh, the insurer didn't ask for mods either, if you tell an insurance co that your mods are on an engineers certificate, they dont need to know the mods.

you can get everything engineered so long as the engineer deems them safe.

If you visit a workshop they can put you in touch with somebody (I know mark @ hills uses somebody - ph number in sig). otherwise you can look for an auto engineer and get them to do it.

      In the US people definitely take photos. It's a lot of attention. I personally don't care but I drive pretty cautiously.

      Hazards not working R34 GTT

      By r34.rory · Posted

      Hi guys. Title … Bought new genuine hazard switch and new genuine flasher relay, indicators now work but hazards still not working. Hazard fuse all good tested with a multimeter.  Tested hazard wiring, I’m a div forgot to test with button actually pressed in, nevertheless, here’s what I measured with hazard button disengaged… 1st wire - red - 0v 2nd wire - green/red -12v 3rd wire - white/green - 12v 4th wire - blue/red - 0v 5th wire - black - 0v 6th wire - white - 0v 7th wire -  green/black - 0v 8th wire - blue/white 5.95v Does this look okay? - can anyone confirm if the hazard has its own relay , separate from the indicator relay ? Apparently r33 has two relays ?   Racking my brain trying to figure it out 😭

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      New alignment and matching tires is great and f*ck me are the German roads fast. Took another trip to the Nurburgring yesterday with my buddy and the car feels great in the dry - a lot of mechanical grip. In corners at 140-160kph I felt like I could keep going.

      Has anyone else been swarmed by morons with cell phones taking pictures of their car? A few of you may know, I recently moved from Japan to Europe and brought my R34 with me. Since arriving I've driven the car a handful of times and without fail have had people filming/taking photos of me with the car to a point where it's becoming annoying and a bit hazardous. Yesterday, whilst driving with my buddy (R32 GTR) on the highway, I spotted three cars pulling alongside with some twat hanging out the window recording with his phone. This one VW Golf came alongside in the passing lane and held position preventing me from being able to pull out and pass slower traffic in my lane so I gestured to him to F*ck off.  It seems when people have approached me, in the car park, at work (drove there once - mistake), gas station etc. they ask the same questions: "why doesn't it have a wing?" and "how much power does it have?"; the latter has been met with pure disappointment when I told the kid it's stock. Of course, Japan was a totally different story, the people are a lot more subtle and have never bothered me about my car or have been polite in doing so. Has it always been like this in Western countries, and what are your experiences? I just don't recall this ever, or maybe I didn't have a nice enough car back when I was growing up in the UK. I've taken the R34 out a total of six times since it landed and besides going to the Nurburgring area it's becoming more of a pain than anything.

      ATTESSA and pressure switches

      I had a similar situation with my R32 GTS4. I replaced that solenoid, but it hasn't solved the problem. So its possible the pump is failing. It seems you need to drop the diff in order to do anything that might fix this. So its important to know exactly what the problem is. Or just replace / repair everything while the diff is out.
