This one depends on how picky the copper is.

Most cars are required these days to have a 3rd brake light.. i just over came this by installing a brake light into the skyline panel between the lights ... looks cool and has a purpose :cheers:

ANY change of the original design can be defected if it isn't engineered,including rear wing removal.Did you know you can get defected for a non-standard stereo head unit?Or non-factory fitted tyres,even if they're standard size?Or an aftermarket radiator cap?Basically,if it's changed,and non-engineered,they can do you for it.Simple as that.It's at the discretion of the person that pulled you over(Police are usually nicer to deal with than the RTA crew...)as to wheather you get a slap on the wrist or a full fisting over "the pits".I've found it depends on the modification,and your attitude at the time.I got yanked for an undersized numberplate on the way to Auto Salon Final Battle earlier in the month.The Police officer was really good about it:only cautioned me-21 days to change it back,no fine,no inspection.He looked over the car,spotted the roll-cage,rims,gauges etc.Even looked under the bonnet:the numberplate was his only issue.We wound up having a chuckle and got on with our respective days.The same officer pulled over a very well known S15 show car-and booked him for too low,and a BOV(my car has two that weren't mentioned or noted by the same Policeman...).Attitude and level of modification is important...So,removing the wing,putting in a third brake light should let you go unhassled,but engineer it if you're concerned about overall legality.

heres a few :

added the lights like i mentioned in my other post : skyline panel

add a LED set like the R34's in the boot

use an LED cluster in the rear window like most modern cars

are you going to get a different wing -- put one in there if you are

lots of other options depending on what you are about to do this car!

Yeah you're supposed to have a high mounted brake light. If you're taking off the spoiler, you can buy a light that sticks to the inside of your rear windscreen for about $20 from any autoparts store, and wire it to your brake lights.

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
