Oh yeah...

Done for too low (go the adjustables) - major

was pretty good about it all, the cop said, "you weren't driving like a dickhead... you've been really civil... i can see you look after the car..."

told me that i should check (but not written down on the defect):

1. exhaust vol tested

2. a non-convex mirror on the drivers side :confused:

3. check the load rating of the tyres (RE55s)

4. number plate moved

Nice guy all in all... and the best part - loved the car and didn't give me teh $165 fine!!

not a bad outcome, methinks

That sux man... where and when did you get defected??? I'm worried every time I drive my car now ;)

got defected coming back from tai-pan yum cha today along doncaster rd. Was turning off blackburn into doncaster toward the city, he was turning from donny to blackburn and did a lap and chased me down about 5 mins later... but what surprised me was that he had already called in a plate check and knew my name and address...

dayum

but you didnt get raped that badly.....

yeah too easy really... i actually said to him, "good timing as i'm pulling out the front shocks today to get them rebuilt"... which is why the car is now on jack stands in the garage...

will send them up to www.shockreco.com.au and then raise it and get the defect cleared at vicroads - too easy.

Don't even need a roadworthy ;)

Good to hear you came across a nice cop.

My thoughts are why did he pull you over since u were being sensible and all?

Is it simply the recent "lets pull over imports / round tail light cars and give them a once over" rule??

Very frustrating knowing that a skyline owner has a much greater chance than any other car of being pulled over for a random check for no particularly reason at all ;)

I too know all about this having been pulled over while driving home in peak hour traffic for purposes of going over the car. Didn't get a defect or anyhting and the officer was an ok bloke but it begs the question why was i targetted for no apparent reason and for how long will this continue??

Anyway it's great that u don't have to get a rwc and so u won't be incovenienced to a great extent ;)

They were changed, on both sides. It is very strange that you do not have them.

I suspect it has just been replaced at some time in the car's life.

saw a nice looking black R32 in camberwell today (near evans pl.) that also had a defect notice stuck onto its windscreen

lol marcus

why do they waste our time so? its not like we find it hard to get rid of the yellow stickers.

sometimes i think we should have more rights as motorists when it comes to being pulled over for a "random checkup"

i bet about 5 rusty old fords with drum brakes all round went past and he didnt even batter an eyelid.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
