how bout all those trucks, old vans and bombs with black puffin smoke comin out of their exhaust... you don't see cops defecting them... and how bout cars with busted brake, tail or head lights... see heaps of those, in fact I nearly merged into a stupid Lancer on my way home just then cause his front lights were busted, only one parker was working... lucky i triple checked my blind spot and noticed a dark shadow... I was about to yell at him as I passed but his windows were closed.

TRUE TRUE TRUE!!!

i got caught doing a burn out in kings cross a while back, got my ticket and also got defected for being to low, i had standard suspension, a week later i took it in to the rta at botany, because they mayed me do a full inspection, i drove into the rta paid the fee, went to the pits section they took my defect notice and my paid receipt, waited 10mins they called me around, drove in they checked my ride height, the inspector then told me to pop the bonnet, got some numbers down from the plates and signed the papers and told me to go have a nice day everything is fine, a week or two later i get pulled over for nothing and get defected again, this time for a whole lot of things, to low, exhaust to loud, gauges, air filter, bov, front bumper loose, and gives me two days to get an inspection otherwise i cant drive, i go back to botany rta they say its fine u can go, have a nice day,

ps. i took the gauges out

P's attract attention.... And imports attract even more..... Its insane, and in my area, southwest and sutherland shire, its getting worse by the month.... If gets any worse over the next few years, I'm moving to Tasmania.... I don't see the cops getting any better... I'v removed my P Plates for the last 3 months, and haven't had a single "random" breath test, or as much as a glimps from a cop....but when i had the P's on, I had 12 "random" breath tests in 6 months..... Not to mention the "you were speeding" attempts from an Ashfield Highway Patrol Officer Number 9, who told me I was doing 130 on the M5... he pulled me over doing 100, legally, and told me i was doing 130, to my repeat answer, "I was doing 100 from King Georges Road", until he gave up, and followed me home... all the way from Belmore road to Menai... I even did a Maccas drive thru at Padstow.... Persistant bastard, still got nothing...

By the way, if anyone ever gets the chance to, tell a cop he has 2 tail lights out at the traffic lights..... They like to tell you that THEY enforce the rules, and you don't..... Commondore cop cars ALWAYS have a light out....

S of S

funny u say that, my friend used to work at Holden in Artarmon, they services a lot of cop cars, and they say that every time a cop car leaves the service centre they leave them with a defect because if the cop car has a defect they carn't book you. eg. my friend over took a cop doing 80 in a 60 zone and when he got pulled over he said "officer u have a head light out" and the oficer knew what he meant and said slow down and let him off.... i wouldn't recomend testing this tho, my friend has since lost his license

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
