If your a poor uni student you shouldnt have purchased a car, and illegally modified if you cant afford to take it back to standard. Many people have got em. No point crying poor

cmon dude, thats a lil harsh. I'm sure alot of ppl out there are uni students and drive lines. Its all about the passion for the car. I go to Uni too, work part time, and sometimes i can't afford the stuff that happens to my car, but at the end of the day, its my passion and nothings gonna stop me from doin wat i wanna do.

Not ridin ya, just thought the comment was a tad unfair

I'd say that it wasnt unfair. Read these forums every day and you'll understand what im talking about in an instant.

Everyone loves to jump on here and cry about "the police"

All the are doing is thier job.

They care - because its the law

There are no if's or but's.

you dont see me on here whinging i was fully EPA'd 3 months ago and now have to do an engine conversion...

why? Cause i knew it was illegal what id done.

Its plain as day comments like these

i dont even understand these rules against modifications... why does the government care about this stuff... its not hurting n e one.. they need to re prioritise...

If people dont understand, then the following applies

1) dont sook when you get reamed

2) find out what is and what is not legal and go about mods that way

3) illegally mod your car then pay consequences if you get caught

All the info is freely avaliable.

Mooks is the car i always see parked near swinburn hawthorn i think.

Isent this dj lethals old car???

If you drive ur modified skyline near knox you desirve to get caught as everyone knows peticock is always around there.

.

yeah i got to swinburne... and yeah it is dj lethals old car.

I dunno about deserve to get cought since my house is 2 min from knox its hard to avoid it.

R31Nismoid your comments are so negative.

What have i ever done to you.?

Your comments have actually hurt my feelings. Im sorry i even spoke.

Thanks to everyone with helpfull comments.

hmm .. this si the reason why i keep ALL of my stock parts when ever i "upgrade" ... and i was missing two stock parts when i bought the car (airbox and boost solenoid).. so i went out of my way to aquire these items... sure they sit in my garage and dont get used... but i have them there as security incase i do perchance get "done" for my modifications...

-Ruffels

and R31Nismoid ... lol not having a go mate.. but, sure they are Laws... but its not like putting an illegal modification on your car is a haneous crime... i put an atmo bov on last week, sure its illegal, but i don't see myself as a criminal, however i do acknowledge that they are against the law and take full responsibility if i get caught!

that's a bit harsh R31Nismoid. have some compassion. sure it's the law, but this is also a public forum and people need to vent their discontent somewhere. it's better to "whinge" on a forum rather than take out your anger in a violent manner - which some are known to do.

Don't worry about Ash, he's just twisted and bitter that he was bent over and reamed by the EPA like he was in a dark alley during the Mardi Gras.

If your a poor uni student you shouldnt have purchased a car, and illegally modified if you cant afford to take it back to standard. Many people have got em. No point crying poor

Thats harsh Ash, i'm a poor uni student too. :(

...But you probably wouldn't say it to anyones face...

yeah i got to swinburne... and yeah it is dj lethals old car.

Well if you were simply driving past knox on the way home or something and got caught then its just bad timing i guess. But if you were doing knox laps setting off ur BOV every few seconds then thats a different story.

that's a bit harsh R31Nismoid. have some compassion. sure it's the law, but this is also a public forum and people need to vent their discontent somewhere. it's better to "whinge" on a forum rather than take out your anger in a violent manner - which some are known to do.

and in terms of that, yes, it is a public forum, which means other people can state their opinion of whatever anyone else says/vents/"whinge's" about

Just got an on the spot fine, a cannary and EPA booking... Great. I knew i should of stayed out of Knox. N e way i have only have 7 days to get a roadworth cert. can n e one help.. what would be really good if someone knew someone that did special roadworths.?

Other wise im going to need to aquire the following parts for my r33 gts-t...

If anyone has them for sale or hire.. eh.

Stock steering wheel

springs to get my car above legal height.

2 x front headlights( just the glass if it that is possible ) i have eyelids and they are not comming off in a hurry.

2 x stock rims with legal rubber. or 2x   255 x 17 tyres with leagal tread...

Im just a poor uni student and this roadworth is bad enough. The EPA is gonna be so much more effort/cash. Does anyone know how to get out of an EPA.?

I was thinking unregistering the car and getting it regestered in another name. would that work? <_<

I agree there should be somewhere to vent your anger although not bad mouth the police (which no one has).

But.........

The above post goes beyond that. As a club SAU is trying to establish itself as a reputable club with a base of enthusiasts. If people started replying to this thread with answers to the two questions in bold above, what does that say about the club? We all know Police read this forums.

IMO Ash was to the point and has pointed out valid points. If the post was put up asking for just stock parts for the car, it would be different.

My 2c guys.

yeah points taken guys. My bad... n e way just a quick question about RWC's if i may. Do you have to have all the same type of tyres on all 4 wheels.?

What was exactly on the canary?

Most rwc places will ignore 90% of the crap the cops write on canarys as most is bs.

...But you probably wouldn't say it to anyones face...

bet i would :mellow:

Anyway, yeah i might sound harsh... So be it.

As you said this is also a public forum, im allowed to say what i want also and point out a few key things.

There is however a time and place for everything. Police read the forums, talking about illegal things like dodgy RWC isnt the smartest of ideas and it makes SAU look bad, let alone is someone is stupid enough

Your lucky the thread hasnt been edited to be honest.

At the end of the day, break the law... expect to get punished for it.

As Alan (saff) pointed out. If this was a "yeah i got done, has someone got stock parts" thats a lot different to "Can someone get me a dodgy RWC"

I'll give a hand anywhere i can, ive always helped out anyone where i can in this club

i'm not saying that it was harsh that mooks was pulled over and reamed - sh*t, my cars still not on the road. I've copped engineers, RWC the whole she-bang at once and it taken me 3 months to save up enough money for the paperwork.

The only comment harsh was the one about the poor uni student shouldn't buy a car he if he can't afford to put it back to stock. We don't buy our cars in anticipation of having to de-mod it every 3 months or so. I'm sure alot of import drivers out there are uni students trying to make ends meet and have a nice car in the meantime.

But like aforementioned - mod the car illegaly and expect to get done. Just hope that your lucky enough not to.

Ease up, shit happens

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
