I got busted for driving my R33 GTS25t, the cop walked away with a huge grin on his face!:shake:  

I had to go to court and was facing 1) loss of licence 2) extention of P's 3) $500+ in fines.  

I got off with it though as i'm a fat bastard (~100kg) and that extra weight in the car was enough to put the power-to-weight down to 123kw/t :D  

I don't recommend this though. I WAS VERY LUCKY the magistrate saw it my way.

hmm.... almost makes me re-think getting a R34 while i'm on my P's.... damn, i don't wanna be driving around with that sorta of consequence hanging around the back of me noggin...

hmmmmmmm *enters deep thought*

Jet,

Say stock standard series 1 with a 3 inch cat-back exhaust and 4 inch tip.

Got is standard so I could work the crap out of it and know exactly what was in there!

Thinking on doing...

1) FMIC 2) T3/4 or similar 3) BOOOOST 4) POD (if factory not up to spec) 5) new front/dump pipe 6) Engine Management

Should see about 200+ rwkw. enough for me for now!

I want to keep it looking stock though, a semi-sleeper, as the skyline badge is going to scare heaps of would-be-heros away instantly.

My car was an auction grade 4.

I got a copy of the auctioneers report and went over it with my agent, and a friend.

only 1 tiny dent in drivers door, and a small dent in passenger-side RQP, near bumper!

Have to wait until off my Ps to mod the car though! will save $$ in the process:D

phorj -

cops must be pretty hard on younger drivers out ur way cause ive pulled over by cops and im on my Ps and none of them gave a crap about it.

oh well.... only 4 more months of being on my Ps now.

I was pulled over by the wrong cop on the wrong day!

At this stage I was driving it around on a UVP (Un-Reg Vehicle Permit).

I was going to the garage (my friends) to get my cambelt done and stop a knocking from the engine.

The cop prob thought it was BS and stuck me with the ticket!

Main reason he pulled me over was no plates on my car due to no-reg at that time.

they don't target everyone with an import, but some cops do know what to look for.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
