just need to make it stand out somehow with awesome rims or a custom number plate :ermm:

4 doors are the ultimate sleepers, I bet the simple fact they have 4 doors means they get pulled over half as much by sapol

-D

I've been avoiding the custom plates because they make the car too easy to remember - If I do get something it'll probably be something simple - JRMS-34 maybe. As for rims - I can't decide on any that I think are subtle enough to make me happy - not a big fan of bling mods (though the carbon vinyls I've been applying lately might contradict that...). I've been thinking maybe R34 GTR rims might be the way to go - bigger, wider but still suit the lines of the car without going over the top.

As for not being pulled over as much - I dunno, they see the Skyline badge and/or the stovetop tail lights and pull me over anyway. I've had one cop go 'wow, I didn't realise this was a four door - nice' after he'd finished doing a 'license check' *eye roll*

Heh, well in the nearly 3 years of owning the car (and using it as my daily) I've only ever been pulled over twice, and I've had the custom plates for 2.5 years. My philosophy is the cops see the custom plates, it makes it easier for them to read and punch the info into their portable rego/licence/crim tracking system and then they see I've had bugger all infractions (aside from 55kph speeding ticket or two in a 50 zone) and then leave well alone... I reckon they'd be more likely to pull you over if your number plate was hard to read...

Both times I was pulled over the cops were total champs, first one let me off even tho my licence was expired by 3 days (He said git'r'done within the week or there will be a fine, so I did it the very next working day) and the other one pulled me over just outside Prince Alfred College. Both times it was just a rego and bretho check, which I have no issue with whatsoever.

Or maybe they just go easy on me cause I got stock rims and the car is white? Who knows

Maybe my car looks too stock, but police often don't look at me twice and I'm not scared to take my car anywhere.

lol! i spotted you again this morning dude.

seen the rear end! :(

hehe, yeah :)

Spotted a silver 33 with the bonnet up at the top of Hallet Rd yesterday evening, tried getting your attention on my way past to see if you needed a hand but I guess you didn't notice someone shouting at you or what? Hope everything was alright.

I spotted a 4 door r34 with stock wheels along sth rd regency pk about 8am, saw a nice clean white r32 gtr at my brothers workshop with a big top mount turbo mm's from hitting the strut towers

spotted at vilis at midnight a fkn amazing gunmetal 34 gtr with black wing

also a black 32 on Richmond rd about 12.15

white 33 turining from pultney st onto greenhill rd about 12.30...sounded ratshit imo

Spotted a fully sick blue r34 with shinny mags that blinded my eyes in the sun at 2 this arvo, he was on mainnorth road turnning left onto grandjunction road after running the red light then double clutched in 2nd then speed off, was that necessary?? coudnt get the Plates cos his car was swerving everywhere. your one lucky guy that ur car didnt swerve on the other side of the road hitting into ppl.

just spotted our favourite Hotwheels Clown 68UOM1 on the port river expressway heading...wait for it... north. :)

no two guesses who that might have been...

I've seen him drop it back and speed up to run a amber/red light too!!

Spotted (I think SkyHi 33??) a tough maroon 33 on Jetty Rd at Brighton last night at around 7ish

    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
    • This makes sense. I have 2 so I'll just choose the least favourable child to perform the task.  If all turns to shit, I've still got a spare.  Win-win!
