But, to the good cops reading this, pull me over if you like, just get prepared to have a nice respectful chat about engineering

You dont even need to finish high school these days to become a cop, so its pointless talking to them about anything other than what specials are on at the local donut shop as they wouldnt have a farkin clue.

if the car you bought was road worthied (i.e by a car dealer) with all the mods in it and you are pulled over and asked to remove modifications, does that the make that road worthy dodgy and hence could possiblly hit up the car dealer for those costs if any to make your car legal/fine.....

This is where it really pisses people off.

The law states that 'Your car can be considered unroadworthy in the OPINION of the police officer' so even if you get a canary and drive straight to a roadworthy centre and they tell you there is nothing unroadworthy about ur car you still end up having to pay the BS $165 fine because according to the OPINION of sum pig they think ur car is unroadworthy. This is just another law that helps raise revenue and gives cops power to just make up shit as they go along even if they dont know what laws they are trying to enforce!!

thats sux major balls... obviously if a hacertified person s asessd your car and said that your car is fine and road worthy then the opinion of the cop is flaud. Cops could just abuse there power and run riot. Hope fully there are good cops around that won't abuse there powers.....

i have a BOV and boost gauge mounted at A pillar.... haven't been pulled over yet, but when i do i'm prety sure i'm gonna get raped... :)

do u get points taken off?

no you do not lose points for gauges.

but in NSW not sure about other states you can lose points for loud stereos and loud exhausts

yes more complete and utter bullsh!t comming from the people who are running this country.

ive seen it happen quite a few times, where a mate would cop a canary, even though he had the permits etc, and the guys at the pits would just take the sticker off and send him on his way.

i wonder what would happen if that cop would get enuff complants towards him?

Steve

its interesting how cops can have all their bullsh!t screens and sh!t all over the dash but because its in thier car its not a defect.

i can gaurantee that all that shit would be more dangerous in the event of an accidnet than an a-pillar mounted boost gauge.

Hey Skliner's, 'tis me, the guy who started this topic! (sorry)

Just as an addition to my original thread..............

My fuel economy......crickey's (I can now actually afford to buy a nice lunch!!)

Normally when I put in $20 of 'expensomax', I get 100km ($30 then 200km etc).

I've just hit the 150km mark on 20 bux!!!!

Boost went down to 7-8psi as opposed to 10-12 psi before I got pulled by 5-O.

I miss the thrilling take-offs, but maybe the money I save will get me a GTR front mount sooner than I thought I could!!!

Anyways.........what's better?......LineTake-off or money saved (simply put!!), potentially going towards more 'legal'(?) power in da Front-mount.

Da Muney or da Box?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
