About a year or so ago when I got a 'defect notice' for my hks pod (which I wanted to change back to the factory box anyway because I didnt like the induction noise) I took it to a local RTA recommended blue slip mechanic and he laughed at me. He said no where in his "book of rules" does it even state you have to have an air filter connected let alone it must be boxed. He rang up the RTA to give them a hoot but the RTA guy that answered simply stated "anything that is non-factory fitted is a defect" ... end of story.

By the time I got it cleared though I had already fitted the standard airbox so it was a simple 1min check and off I went back to the RTA.

I've said it 100x and i'll say it again' date=' things will never change until the Police go back to fighting crimes (breakins, rape, bank robbers) and leave all the traffic offences to the RTA, I mean that's what we pay them for. It's a win win situation for us all.[/quote']

Not so, It'll only stop when ppl get up off the ground and refuse to be stood over. This "what can you do, it'll probably be me next, " attitude just invites being walked on. Start standing up, instead of crawling around on your knees.

LOL woah' date=' so some of the guys getting around Woodcroft/Blacktown in Skylines ARE on here. I pass heaps on my way to and from work. There's a nice R34 GT-T on that main road through Doonside/Woodcroft... and a stocky R33 T too that I see every day

if its a white series 2 skyline with white wheels & winglesss boot (which im told no one hasss) hahahah suckers lol jks thats me haha..

H pattern gear knob?

HAHAHAHAHHH

that's fkn hilarious

what kind of bullshit is that? you all of a suddden forget what pattern ur gears are so u need the drawing on ur knob? wtf? ahaha fkn ultra-gay

The reason this is required is because some cars have different gear patterns. I know when I drive a car for the first time I check the H pattern. Some cars like supras and what not have the reverse on the far left instead of the bottom right.

This is why when you buy a nismo gear knob it comes with the little sticker.

I'm from blacktown. There was a cop on sunnyholt rd on sat nite just crusin up and down and pulling ppl over. Every time I was goin somewhere I would see him with the lights on.

I wasn't brave enough to go past him as I have no front bar. :P

something that will make you laugh.....

Got a call thismorning from a mate... he told me that another mate of his had been pulled over in brighton and booked for having his arm out the window....

$80 fine.....

mind you he is like 7 foot tall with huge arms that could wack people on the sidewalk but thats another matter

if its a white series 2 skyline with white wheels & winglesss boot (which im told no one hasss) hahahah suckers lol jks thats me haha..

LOL, mines white with white wheels and a wingless boot, also a series II.... but i got an aftermarket front bar, looks sort of stock front...

i got pulled over for a good 15-20mins last friday night about 1130pm in a residential area..

cop did a u turn followed me a bit then pulled me over.

they checked my license and if the car was stolen, there was 4 cops and they went all around the car, engine bay and interior didnt find anything (i dont have the typical pod and bov and i have a very quiet exhaust, but i DO have lots of other, hidden stuff :P:) )

only thing they said was rear tyres are nearly bald, but did not defect me for it,

3 of the cops seemed nice but one had the 'i am better than you and i will try and get you for anything' attitude.

i was just polite and tried to make some conversation with them all and things went ok, the cop with an attitude was not friendly, but we was not outright rude either, once he saw i wasnt being a dickhead.

only thing i didnt like was he reached into the car and took my wallet and pulled out another form if id (i think my uni or credit card) and asked the other officer to confirm if the same names were on both without asking me.

i got pulled over for speeding once by a persuit car thingo, and the evil cop (there always seems to be a bad one and a good one) opened my door and started looking around while i was talking to the other one.

Are they allowed to do that ?

Dont they have to ask you to open the door ?

I think if your car is locked they need to ask if it's open it's open.

As for taking your wallet that's just plain rude - and silly on their behalf too because if someone starts accusing them of taking money they set themselves up for it.

yes i thought it was rude and would have readily handed it over if he had asked, but since it was a powertripping cop i thought it was best not to try my luck by saying anything since i had nothing to hide. very rude!

Anything not standard seems to be a defect these days. I cleared some (10) a month or so ago. Since then i had the RTA come knocking at my door wanting to do another inspection.

SO i think they catching up to me clearing defects an puttin stuff back on.

btw any1 got a stock zorst an cat handy?? :rofl:

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
