Been about a decade since i sold my beloved s15.  At the time i couldn't drive anywhere without the coppers harassing me, it was lightly modded but overall basically legal, they probably expected to find more but once I was pulled over a fine would be issued for one thing or another.  In the end I gave up.  Is it any better these days?  Possible to enjoy sitting in traffic in a comfortable, safe, quality japanese golden era vehicle without fear of being pulled over for a roadside inspection?  Also interested in whether these are still major targets for theft?  Will I relive the nightmare?

Man you guys get it rough in Aus, over here in NZ I drive a very low obviously modified r33 with wheels, adjustables, exhaust (with decat) intake, bov delete, front mount, tints etc and haven't been pulled over in the 18 months I've been driving it. Before that drove a lowered modified Prelude for 6 years and was pulled over once for a random stop...

Mine is the equivalent of engineered so is road legal, and every older car gets checked at 6 monthly roadworthy checks which is the only time I ever have a problem with authority if I have mods they don't like haha. But if I do, the inspection is pretty straightforward to get them legal.

You guys need some better legal representation! Defend your rights!

I have a modded R34 GTR in Sydney. Big wheels, exhaust, low etc etc.

Never been pulled over in 6 years.....

But then, i'm not a "P" Plater. Car is well looked after, new tyres, nothing hanging off, no obscene stickers, no crazy camber or poke, and a good driving record. Don't drive like a dick on the roads, you're sweet.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      By DominusUniversi · Posted

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
