This was a bit odd: Was driving home last night at 1am along Albany Hwy (60 zone) doing 75 when I noticed a car coming up behind me in the right lane. Didn't think much of it, and kept going. After a while, the car changed into the left lane, came up beside me and that's when I realised it was a copper! Doh!

I was still going 75 and was waiting for him to pull me over, but he just slowly accelerated and drove off... Phew! :D

(guess he just couldn't be bothered or maybe he was on his way home)

Weird how sometimes you get nailed for just doing 6 over and other times (eg. 120-something on Old Coast Road!) they do nothing!

Anyone else been let off the hook ?

Yeh that has happened a few times to me. Just when u think their gonna pull u over they dont. Trick is to slow down easy when they pull up behind u they are usually speed checkin so if u stomp the brakes they will know easy.

BTW: he coulda got u for riding the right lane:rolleyes:

How this for a funny but close one.

I was going through winthrop av/ stirling hwy near UWA and the light turns orange so i think waht the hey and go it. Drive down stirling and onto the freeway and turn off on canning then start going down kintail road and WHAM look in the rear view and low and behold a pig car right there.

Apparently he had to chase me all the way from UWA. All i can say is what a moron i wasnt goin that fast and it was an EB for gods sake.

Thought that was worth a tell seeing as i laughed all the way home and dam near in his face.:lol:

if you wanna rig up a switch, connect it to your rear numberplate light, hope they haven't seen the plates already, and they can watch as the back of your car dips and you screech off into the yonder

hmm...maybe not

you might end up on that polair program on access ;)

my h/brake doesn't work properly so I always pull that up to slow (unless of course full brakes are needed)

Bizzare incident i remember was when i was in my old R30 a couple of years back. coming down ranford rd near canningvale, a dark green vt pulled up beside me with pursuit rims, i looked over at him when he went past (sure enough he was a cop). He then looked at my car and floored it! so as a joke i did aswell! he then kept booting it until we reached a set of lights where he turned right, when i went passed him (by this time i had slowed to the speed limit), he just looked at me with a smirk on his face! i thought to myself - draggin' a cop! wtf!!?

My mate has a dark blue VT s2, darkish tint, pursuit rims, mobile aerials on the back window, no number plate surrounds... so when we wear our light blue business shirts and go for a cruise people sh*t themselves and slow right down....

works best on the ricers in Honda's, excel's etc :( oh, and P platers!

piss funny ;)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
