Well again... the soarer has been defected...

-Tyres not complying with load ratings (it has the ceffy wheels on it until i get the tyres on the soarer wheels replaced as i got a puncture)

-Ground clearance (car has stock suspension but apparently the exhaust comes down too low)

-Exhaust (Too loud... had a chat with him tho about it and apparently i wont get an EPA notice cause its been tested before and they only test the soarers at 3200rpm unlike most other cars)

no fine... again... so thats cool.

i think this is the first major its had... but the 3rd canary

selling it anyway so i have to get a RWC regardless...

anyone want a loud defectable soarer? :P

funny thing was this guy had pulled me over before on nepean hwy because the front number plate was mounted to the left... he said he remembered and was glad to see i at least got that fixed up rofl

heh, just got pulled up then on kellets road in rowville, breath test, license check, and car check

'wheres the blow of valve'

me 'its pretty standard, standard blow of valves that aren't venting to atmosphere'

him 'trying to find tyre load rating placard in english on this thing'

another cop 'looks pretty low'

i just kept srugging saying i think its pretty standard (which it is kinda)...

he got the wheely thing out rolled it under my car, hits my mufler way to easy,

cops like no your about 20-25mm to low,

me 'really? i got it raised a month ago about 2 cm if not more since when i bought it, it was to low'

cop 'they raise it to legal height?'

me 'umm i guess not....'

they let me off - i have a pretty clean driving history maybe that helped... was nice to them and car is pretty standard, im thankful for that

my historys clean as well... minus one small fine about 2 years ago and the soarers std minus the exhaust, wheels and kit.

like what ash said... the dumb thing is (I HOPE UR READING THIS U TARDS) that the cops think they are puting us out and that fixing all this hassles us and that sooner or later we will stop modifying our far more l337 than their shitbox cars... WRONG! it takes all of one saturday and a few beers.... gives us something to do :rofl:

THANKS GUYS!

I was just waiting for something to happen driving my line last night. Especially after recent events.

Fortunately only saw one cop car, patroling local shopping centre carpark. They doubled back as i walked in to safeways, were gone when i returned.

Only pulled over once for 'random' stop this year.

Honestly i didn't notice what cars they were, there was more than 1, maybe 2-3? and they didn't pull me over directly, they had a couple of cars pulled over already, like at a booze bus, but there was no booz bus... were just normal cop cars as far as i can remember...

so sorry no heads up on what to look out for :rolleyes: it was about 9:30pm on wed night...

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
