Hi everyone,

Been a while since I have been on the forums,

But unfortunately today I was stickered for my headunit. Yes, believe it or not but this is true.

I don't really want to go into the details but they overlooked some little things such as the cam gear cover on the front of the motor which has been removed (they didn't say anything about it). However, as I need to go over the pits, I am just trying to source a cam gear cover for an RB26, just in case it is required in order to pass.

Does anyone have one of these?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

i got yellowed also

need a 3 inch cat dudes to borrow , same deal , lemme know if you got one :D

Are you running standard brakes? if so would that pass?

Did anyone get done on Wanneroo road when there was that 'blitz' with all cars regos checked etc, apparantly about 120 (might have been 170) yellow stickers given out over 4 hours. I probably would have got one if I as going that way (was going in the opposite direction) as my exhaust is being held on by coathangers at the moment... (all getting fixed tomorrow)

What I heard today with yellow stickers (dont know if its true or not) but depending on the angle of the sticker depends on the severity of how badly the pit inspectors will rape you. For instance, a straight sticker says "This guy is alright, dont give him a hard time", a wonly angle is "Find as many faults on this wanker as possible" and upside down is a "Do not pass whatsoever."

I wonder how true this is, cos I've never heard of a cop putting a sticker on upside down.

its all true the further the sticker is from straight the worse the cop thought of you but the pit boys dont always go for it my mate got 3 stickers in 1 month all on nasty angles by the 3rd the pit boys sed tell the cop to go jump this car is perfect and didn even check it

it is true folks about the angle of the yellow sticker. If you cop one get your car home ASAP wet the sticker and make it straight.. Believe me it works

It used to be that if you gave the cop a bit of shit for giving you a sticker, they would put it horizontally on the windshield, which told the inspector at the pits to go right thru' your car and find everything possible for you to get fixed. Basically to give you a hard time.

Yeah, it was common to steam the sticker and set it vertically, that way the inspector was oblivious to the goings on at the time the sticker was issued.

Occasionally, we took a gamble and removed the sticker and hoped like hell that the cop didn't follow it up. You could be garanteed that the cop would follow it up if you had given him a hard time. These days, I'd say that everything is entered into the computers, so licensing will always know that yellows have been issued.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
