Hey Everyone, this is a kind of warning to anyone going for a scenic drive in the Hinze Dam area... Last night we spotted boys in blue at Hinze Dam. What we don't know is if they have a new under cover car, or if it was just security guards posing as the real deal. This thing was an old V8 (kingswood prehaps?). The two guys were acting like police but something just didn't seem right, and it was dark so very hard to tell. We wern't going to stick around to find out anyway... Anyone seen this car around?

"Anonymous Skyline" hey...

Well you will all be interested to hear that on Friday a Mother and Son faced court posing as Police officers in the Warner/Cashmere area. They were local residents who were anoyed with the people speeding and making excessive noice in their local area.

They were caught by an off duty officer that they pulled over for speeding and were just going to give him a warning...

If people are posing as police officers and your not sure ask for their station suburb and their stations phone number.

You are then able to phone and ask if that person is on duty and patroling and you may also ask for the officer at the station to describe the officer as this is aparentlly more common than you think.

If their for real they will comply.

Thanks for the heads up - apart from anything else, if these guys are like the ones Col posted, it's a bit of a worry. If they're willing to pretend to be cops, they're obviously willing to break the law - and who knows, they might be willing to hurt you or damage your car unless you apologise profusely, give your "hoon" car to charity, buy a Prius and make it your life's mission to rid their neighbourhood of hoons.

Personally, as has been mentioned, if they do pull you over I'd be making a phone call to the local station - if they turn out not to be real cops, I'd be telling them to stick their vigilante crap where it fits and ensuring that the REAL cops were given as much info as possible. If they DO turn out to be real cops, you probably won't have anything to worry about.

If there's a huge problem in the area I can understand their motives but geez, how stupid are these people?

there are stories of cars being shot at out that way so do be careful who you start to fire up. there are a lot of wierdos living out that way as well as bikers who are more than happy to put a few boot dints in your panels...

amongst other things i have seen out that way, a naked person walking along the side of the road at night....

so just be careful out there people do some strange things when they are angry or frustrated, i have had rocks thrown at my car and i have the dints in my paintwork to prove it.

like i have said tho, there is supposed to be security guards contracted to patrol the hinze dam area and there was talk of the gates being closed off on the road after hours (ie no road access)

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
