How does that work? You proved to them that it wasn't painted and you still have to pay it? :wub: That's total BS they can't fking book you on something that is a factory standard...

I really hope you manage to have better luck if you take it to court or sumsing :wub:

Since this is an easy case to defend in court yourself, and it would cost nothing except some time, ask to discuss the matter with a senior officer at the station this guy works at, ask for some intelligent intervention and state that you will take it to court if necessary.

I'm pretty certain, if the evidence is presented to one of the older heads that they will see sense in not prosecuting.

Judges hate to see matters that are just petty, pointless and wrong and will give the coppers a dressing down if they do present this case.

thanx everyone....

I doubt I will take it to court.... maybe go see the head of that station to talk to him about it.

I don`t have the time (got work everyday) to get summoned to court on the day they ask me to come.

I do wish most police are not this dumb.

I know what you mean...

but since the police man told me to prove it to him and I did... (with a bad answer from him)

all I can do now is to bring it to head of that station and tell him.

I dont have time to go to court now.... work work and more work.

I will try as much as I can but got doubts its going anywhere now...

talk to a compliance workshop that complies R32 skylines. They have ADR clearance/testing data for both coupe and sedan tail lights (sedans are variants on the original docs). This should show factory specification, translucency, colouration and reflectivity. Most of em won't give the info away easily (because they spent hundreds tabulating it, and you could be a competitor) but be nice and they might just give you a copy of that page out of the 100+ page ADR evidence book.

Yeap definantly don't pay.

Also from everything I've read regarding mods and what is and isn't allowed I beleive that it doesn't matter as long as they remain clearly visable from a specified distance(can't remember the exact distance now) and obviously remained the same colour. I have my front and side indicators covered in nightshade. They are still clearly visable. I have never had a problem and even passed a proper RWC with it.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
