The full ADR rule on fog lights actually specifys that fog lights *whether aftermarket or std* can ONLY be used in foggy conditions. Therefore the RTC rule isn't contradicting that.

Pulp....I don't know where you are getting your info from but its wrong. The ADR's rule over any reg the state has......States do not have regs that contradict these...the cop in question doesn't know what they are talking about....

Liz....have a late night last night? you read: I read (and the post says ) -

Liz....it doesn't matter what the states rules and regs are...all vehicles on ozzie roads have to comply with the ADR's.....and adr rule is as my first post. That link might have the ADR's as a link though.....

Yep according to ADR's you have to have a high mount brake light. If you are fitting a spoiler without one you have to fit one in your rear window. I don't know how strict cops are with this in this state.

Thanks silva...I was under the impression that there was only one set of 350Z rims.

thanks to cam in perth for the pics and they are 18x8" +30 offset all round

Hi oblivo....as for 350z rims they are 18" and I think either 7.5 or 8" wide. They fit a R34 gtt fine (seen in person)....also have a look thru the classified section as some guy was selling them and had picks of them on his gtt.

Yep west you are correct...Chasecam.com. Located in the states but when I ordered mine on mon it arrived 3-4 days later. The one I bought has a clamp mount and suction cup mount.

At least now you know...so in future when you have to brake hard don't hit the pedal as hard as you can and expect the car to do all the work for you....learn to modulate the brake pedal.

Let me correct that...I personnally don't have experience tuning them, but the manual is helpful. If you need a workshop to tune it properly on a dyno go to Rank rotary in Melbourne

Thanks for that Glenn. Topaz...deposit is $75 and $75 is due on the night - last I heard.

Cheers geoff...I would've thought that it would have at least discoloured the plastic but I will give it a go.

Great tips and pics of your collections guys One question for GTRgeoff....doesn't the brake fluid damage the plastic or don't you keep it on for long enough??

Ummm no Chris it is there to help with braking for two reasons. When a car without ABS locks up the tyres at a particular speed it will take longer to stop than a car that is braking hard but the tyres aren't locked up. Before ABS this was left upto the driver to modulate the pressure on the brake pedal so that he or she is still braking as hard as possible but the tyre isn't locked up. As this skill is not taught to people the only time they find out is when they need it the most and by then it is too late. ABS simply takes the driver out of this equation and allows the car to stop in the shortest possible distance. The 2nd reason for ABS is the one you were trying to get at. When a car is emergency braking with its tyres locked up, the tyres have no grip in order for the driver to be able to take action to avoid a collision. Whereas with ABS (or with the driver able to modulate the brake pedal without ABS) the tyres have enough grip for the driver to be able to steer around an object. I hope this clears it up for you....

Heres a rough pic of what you are looking for.... If its there and not working either someone has pulled a fuse (why I don't know) or it is broken.

Some do and some don't...I believe it was an option from the factory rather than std (my 95 series 1.5 doesn't have it). If you pop the bonnet and there is no cube shaped device attached to the passenger side firewall of the engine bay then you don't have it. Will try and get a pic for you....

Yeah Guys I'm with Cam.....being already into the 1st week of April do we have any news yet?

beefy...errr no mate they are as delivered on a series 1.5 gtst! Been kept clean thru the odd detail throughout their lives but thats about it.

Hey Pete.... mate I thought you would've seen it in the flesh mate as I had it done before last years autosalon?? Anyway heres a pic I managed to dig up on short notice....

Well all up including the gearstick/handbrake boots as well as the steering whell it was around 400-500 mark. Bare in mind that I had it done in alcantra which is one of the most expensive materials.....normal leather would be a lot cheaper I'd imagine. All I can say is that it was a fantastic job...they did it in 1/2 a day and the blue stitching looks great. Not the cheapest, but as someone said you do get what you pay for.

U have PM....

Yep two thumbs up for garry blackman in richmond....retrimmed my steering wheel, gearstick and handbrake boots in alcantra. Top work!

R33 Stealth....The reason you gave for the larger wheels=slower accel (ie mountain bike-gearing) is completely wrong. I ask you what would the effort be for the rider if he changed the rear wheel to a larger one with a bigger overall diameter in the same gear?? The answer is that it would require more effort and he/she would be slower getting up to speed as one rotation of the particular gear is moving a bigger wheel. No question that bigger wheels (assuming the overall diameter is bigger) will tech slow your car down over a measured distance.

correct keefy...M2000 do them....need to be over 25 and will cost over $200 a day even for that period of time
