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

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
