A Friend In Need Is A Friend In Deed

[Ruffels]

sorry to have to create this thread guys.. but im desperate...

i got pulled over about 3 weeks ago and done for driving high powered vihicle on my p's, they decided to be mean about it and defect me, do me again for power/weight, and then send me an EPA notice for vihicle emmisions test and noise test

cut a long story short, yes i was in the wrong, i had an r33 gts-t on my p's, i got caught, and yes the car was modified... that aside, the car is now for sale, i cant sell it becuase it has an EPA resting on it...

i returned the car to complete standard EXCEPT for a milotin muffler on the very rear of the standard exhaust

the car passes emmisions, but not noise test

so i desperatly need to borrow someones standard r33 catback exhaust

anyone who could help out, it would be much appreciated

thankyou

I have one technically it's a 4 door one, but I don't think that matters?

[Russman]

Sorry to hear that mark. I've got less than a month to go and then I'm off my p's and actually allowed to drive my car/bike! Good luck with the car, hope all goes well.

Sorry to hear dude and well done for not jumping on here hating the Police. Why not get a cheap run around until you are off your p's and store the car elsewhere as it seems to be your pride and joy?

[SS8_Gohan]

sorry mate, can't help ya out but i reckon alan's idea is a good one... maybe get a bomb just to run around in... how long till you're off your p's?

Sorry to hear buddy, rotten luck often happens to the most responsible of drivers.

If you are prepared to travel west (5min from Calder Park Rwy), i have the full stock exhaust. Never had to use it, after i put on my aftermarket system on, but i am pretty certain it is complete.

if justins 4door dosnt fit mark, take a pic under the car where the rear muffler joins i may have one that will fit, if it joins just on the end it will work. its a muffler/tip super quite.

talk to ya on msn remind me about it.

[Julzy]

still can't believe ur selling it. i reckon u store it as well. it looked pretty mint from the times i've seen it driving around eltham.

[Jetdat]

i am on southeast mate, and have full standard exhaust u can borrow..

lemme know..

[R31Nismoid]

why are ya selling it?

[Ruffels]

thanks heaps guys for the replys... goes to show this club really does have a great bunch of members.. the reason im selling it is because ive been done for driving high powered vihicle in my own suburb twice now, both within a very short space of time, and as ironic as it sounds.. came very close to getting done in my own street too,

i'd love to hold onto the car ... but reality is, i have 2 and 3/4 years until i can legally drive it again, and its hurting me too much just sitting in the garage, its my pride and joy, and making the decision to sell it has really cut me up.... i wanted the time to come where i felt i should move on and sell the car, not be forced into a corner with very few options, however in many ways i brought it upon myself by taking the risk, with the attitude of "it won't happen to me"

the club has influenced me greatly over the last year of owning the car, and have made many friends that i decided to purchase, yet another skyline

.... so sitting next to my R33 is my new R32 GTS-4

i'll pm a few people, looks like i shouldnt have any worries getting a lend of a standard exhaust thanks to all you guys

just hope to remove this stupid Green EPA defect sticker

and begin advertising my baby

[saff_cossie]

R32 GTS-4 is a great choice for a replacement.

[Russman]

Will the R32 GTS-4 be under the limit?

[mr_crust]

it so good to see this place in jsut a forum that members are actually willing ot help each other out ...top effort to all u guys

[SLYSX]

Mark that sucks to hear, matt told me about it the other week,

Iam worried now there is tightass cops in our area, cause my car isnt eactly a sleeper anymore.

[Ruffels]

mmm ahh well.. they cant touch me in my stock r32 gts-4

however its a shame, eltham is turning into the new knox

talked to a few guys in the area who have suffered my same fate

Damn!!!

Reading you post i just thought, "ah poor guy, he must live near Knox". But you only live in Eltham , there are so many good roads there, i was planning a small cruise with some mates, will have to reconsider

[Ruffels]

nah Al.. you'll be fine... your off your p plates, your car is extreamly clean,

only reason i got done was becuase it was 2 in the morning, bored cops at booze bus, one of them clicked that it was over power/weight, and one of my headlights had just blown, hence the reason why they were interested to see what else was "wrong with it"

allthough they are quite picky on the whole "high mount brake light" as i didnt have one after removing standard spoiler and replacing with stealth wing!

... but by all means drive to eltham.. im just working it up to be more then it is coz i got done bad lol

great roads around here, moreso kangaroo ground, warrendyte, kinglake and st andrews all have fantastic roads

you can still get to them by avoiding eltham though.. just have to drive around through say greensborough or diamond creek!

thats if your extreamly paranoid... mums been driving my car round a bit in eltham.. and they dont seem to care coz the car doesnt have p plates on it!

[Al]

Would have avoided Eltham as it is shorter to go through Greensborough bypass/Diamond Creek .

I too need to fix a 3rd brake light, have been putting it off for too long . Have a feeling that they will definately pick on this, if i was ever pulled over.

PS: Told ya to remove your stealth wing
