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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
