ive had my 18's on for a good 6 months before it got done (which probably wouldnt have if something else didnt happen but wont go there) cops have driven next to me, behind me and drove right off... didnt have an issue.

that goes without saying doesn't matter what rims you run

exactly... ive been picked on for random things they could find when i first bought mine. it was a dead stock automatic 33. got done for pod filter, oil leaks and exhaust to be checked.

this is what it looked like:

Yeah but if you drive like a dickhead, then you pretty much deserve to get picked on/defected. That said, sometimes you can randomly get picked no and that does suck.

As I stated above, I have had 3 quite highly modified cars (coilovers, wheels, loud exhaust, mods) and drive my cars daily for work and pleasure, and have NEVER been defected. I don't do anything to make my car stand out too much or be obviously illegal, and I don't drive like a dickhead.

yeh i agree, if you drive like a dick then you deserve it but the amount of people who get done for doing nothing wrong far outweighs the ones that do...

My wheels didnt even get a mention when i got defected. Got pulled over with them on for a licence check and nothing was said either.

the last time 3 times ive been pulled over my tires were only checked once when they were looking for defects, so that says heaps about whether defects are for safety or revenue.......

straight under the hood no look at one of the most important safety aspects being tires..

defects and speed cameras mate are all revenue raising and nothing to do with safety.....how is capturing some one speed at an intersection a safety thing.....it wont stop them speeding down the road.....arrgh people used to be afraid of the tax people and now its the cops taxing everyone via safety (bullshit) / red light camera's

yes they dont have immediate benefits, however catching some speeding can change there mindset an actually save their life as they no longer drive stupid on the street. It can be a wake up call.

If a friend of mine didnt get caught, he probably would have became a statistic.

had my skyline nearly 5 yrs now and i realized i dont have any photo's of it at all. im sure i had some but i think they were on a old hdd that failed .

next time i clay bar it and polish it i will get the camera out pretty slack really lol

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
