oh man great thread the intersection of tonkin and leach everytime i do a U-turn at those lights i get worried

the best day to go to autosalon is NEVER. just go to the carpark - that's where all the good cars are, why? because the cars parked there have had money invested in the CAR.. not in the $300 or wahtever that you have to pay to enter racewars actually if you were to break into cars that day., would be a GREAT cleanup i mean SERIOUS!

why do you guys hate and poo poo the idea just because it's the fnf franchise? have you ever considered that the film could have matured? i mean f**k you guys complain when there's no gt-r's in the film, and only "riced up hondas" then you see a picture of brian o'connor standing next to a fkn SICK bayside blue gt-r with his handsome smile and you STILL hate?? "oh no now all the 14 year olds will want one" wtf is wrong with you guys? as if when you were 14 you didn't draw pictures of gt-rs doing burnouts on your school files god so much hate

what if you own a cefiro and have owned one much longer than anyone here but just don't give a shit about drifting? oooooooohhhhh... sore spot

well, not say it is or isn't but "borneo's" car has series 3 taillights to my knowledge, they're series 2 meh

why is it that funky and i always seem to think to most rationally it's an 18 year old piece of machinery with the letter R on it this is not worth turning your hair grey over you could export it worry about what's happening to it pay for it re-import it again later, drive it, have it break down on you OR you *COULD* ... get over it and move on with life...

honestly? like, honest honest opinion? it's a 1990 gt-r and you're willing to ship it over to australia until it's 25 years old so you can re-import it like honestly i know it's a gt-r and everything but bottom line it's just a pile of metal n plastic, and it's currently 18 years old sell it to someone abroad who CAN legally own it and buy another legally imported one you'll make your hair go grey man...

no. thanks!

YOU could DO THAT or you could stop speeding...

thankyou for re-iterating what i had already said. no really. i appreciate that.

OMG naomy!!! you're parked in a no parking zone!!!! ....take THAT society!!!

umm wtf. dude. change your name, or i falcon punch you and take a dump in your letterbox

that laurel... is f**king COOL!

manifold has come loose the shock from your exhaust has warped it n shit y0-

.....how much you want for that momo steering wheel [/tokyo drift]

contrary to belief the were never taxi's in japan, they used to be used in places like malaysia and thailand and even jakarta as taxis, if you WERE to colour your car as a japanese taxi, then, it would be white, with a royal blue / red strip going along the sides of the car, as for the roof ornaments you could probably buy them from japan to create the "driver/owner" taxi look like this..

see that's just pwnage right there... as i said like, you can try and try and try but chances are they WILL FIND something to make you return and re-pay

basically the way it works is as follows the police give you a work order of what they regard as crucial elements to be fixed, you are encouraged to get them fixed, the yellow sticker means you have to get the car FULLY examined this costs about 80 dorra and the car is examined completely inside outside footwork EVERYTHING is gone over, most times, they will notice "something" else which will mean you'll have to come back anyway, and pay ... either 30 dorra or 50 dorra to be re-inspected,.. so in short, first inspection, they check the police's work order, then go right thru the car from start to finish deeming what is illegal and is not, disregarding what the police say. put it this way, the police are police, vehicle inspectors and vehicle inspectors, sooo what they say goes really if you can get away with the one inspection then i will be amazed, cos more often than not they will find *something* that will deem re-inspection BUT if you really are keen on getting over with one inspection, please meet the following checklist ALL lights are operating (you say your headlight is dodge.. what's wrong with it?) car is over 100mm in height at the lowest point of the car your wheels and tyres are of stock rolling diameter as stated per the tyre placard NO engine leaks, cleanyour engine bay before hand just incase NO exhaust leaks bearings on your wheels aren't rattling suspension check out seatbelts all retract and extend window tint allows >35% light omittance steering componentry is all working, no rattling steering rack whenyou "shake" the wheel all doors open and close and lock and unlock correctly license plates are affixed correctly and the rear plates lights work if you have a pod filter, make sure it's braced to the body of the car hope this gives you an idea of how they check the car

but.. see.. just because YOU say as a forum member that his staggered tyre size is illegal.. doesn't mean the vehicle examiner is going to pick him up on that, this creates un-necessary work.. he may over look the tyre size, and put a work order item like "affix license plate securely", that's the thing though, neither of us know what the examiner will say, so it's best to get his or her opinion first when your vehicle is examined, you drive over a block of concrete that protrude up into the centre of your car. it does not weight the height where your sideskirts are. *if* the examiner chooses to measure the height at the sideskirts, he would need to get a ruler and measure by hand, mostly, they don't have the time for this. especially considering that the tyres and wheels run along the ground. thus negating the height of the skirts to a moot point yes, yes it does... BUT the hting i was trying to say, if you rely on them to give you a work order straight up, rather than rocking up with a dicey car which has obviously recently had sideskirts removed and the front bumper is a different colour, and the wheels have obviously been switched over, they're going to get the impression that you think they're stupid and won't notice your car was highly illegal, has been altered to get over the pits, Only to return to it's boro state of affairs ..and rightly so i say trust me - ANYTHING in 6 days is a mad rush, esp when you're trying to source rims plus no matter what he does, i guarantee you they will find more things wrong with the car, i'm just saying it's easier to just face reality and just get it done properly rather than getting stuffed around taht's all!

them's fightin' words,

you JSR kids are homo i just watched that crip walking video ...gays.

DUDE PLEASE READ COS THIS IS THE MOST INSIGHTFUL SOLUTION HERE dude think of this logically the police are a government department who give you a yellow sticker this is a defect notice which means you have to do to the department of planning and infrastructure's vehicle examination centre. this is a completely different authorative body that has nothing to do with the wa police dept. the DPI are the people who will deem your car roadworth or not. if THEY say your tyres are legal. they your tyres are legal. NOT the police. NOT sau forum members. THEM. your sideskirts don't have to come off cos the car isn't measured at that height. ground clearance is measured at the lowest point of the car, which is the exhaust. your best bet if you have a defective car, and you think there will be more problems with the car, is RING UP the warwick examination centre. PRE BOOK AN EXAMINATION. the staff here are decent happy guys, not saying they're nice, they're just more of a pleasure to deal with than other places. ring them up, explain your predicament, explain that you feel you were treated un-justly by the officers, and you would like a second opinion, a full examination and report of the car with a NEW work order this shows maturity and co-operation with them. it's not "buttering them up" it's JUST helping them make their job easier. that said, any bits n pieces that are on the car that you think should be fixed, FIX IT. save them from having to create other work order items This will give you a 1 month extension to get the work done correctly on your own time. the police give you a 10 day deadline to get their work order done, this is a condition of the police. NOT of the DPI. so if things aren't fixed when you take it over the exam centre, that's no hassle. because chances are they will find other things wrong anyway and you'll have to come back for re-examination, cos hey, it IS a piece of machinery, nothing will be perfect so yeah. follow these steps, and save this mad rush hassle that you seem to be persuing, there's no need for it and if you follow the steps i've suggested you'll find your experience with it a lot easier. to save this from needing to be repeated i think it should be posted in the DIY thread as to how to save your defect notice from becoming a brain tumour. hope this helps -Rowan

...try tapping the screen? like just give it a few taps with your fingernaiL?

what a FANTASTIC idea for a thread! +++ keep us posteD! ps your paint looks fantastic!

this is probably the most insightful and intelligent and debate worthy thread i have EVER read, thankyou MK2 and lgithassassin infact just yesterday i was in heavy traffic, and a 40 or so year old guy was trying to drag race me in a v8 LANDCRUISER like this thing was loud full exhaust system n everything i mean heavy traffic peak hour "rolling start" drag race, like, FOOT DOWN, back off, change into 2nd FOOT DOWN, back off naturally i didn't race, but again heavy traffic peak hour rolling start 3-4 million tonnes of landcruiser speeding, racing, trying to prove a point to a 22 (yuoung-ish) import hi-po car driver no amount of training or awareness will stop flamin mongrels being dickheads man, sorry.
