I got RBT'd the other day - i actually drove past them as they were setting up and on my way back i got pulled over and the cop said "hay mate, saw you driving past us before and you had your fog lights on - but ill let you off because its a bit damp." (At night time as well) - I’m a Green P plater driving a R34 at 11:00 on a sat night in castle hill.....that’s not too bad i recon.... As said before - it’s all up to your attitude, and I’m pretty sure the cops are used to me in castle hill. Only ever been pulled over once and that’s because the cop was curious, every other time was a RBT set up.

Also with the pods - Can’t you get an engineering slip for them? - so the law says that it’s bad for the enviro and its noisy - ok - fine, take it to the RTA and have a Db test and a emissions test and get them to clear you - that will shut them up.... (Obviously I’m guessing most of you wouldn’t even past that test anyway) my car is stock as a rock so this would work for me.

But seriously hasn’t anyone else heard of a Cops asking “do you have a certificate/permit etc for that?”

I have been driving around with my foggies on for about a year. Have been pulled over many times for rbt's and random checks and never had an issue.

Well you should get done for it. It's bloody annoying for other road users. What you don't realise, or maybe you do and just don't care, is that light is cumulative. Your low driving lights or fog lights or whatever might be on "low beam" but when there are 4 of them it adds up to something much more than what is permitted for low beam.

Apart from that, I'll admit it was a bit of a sexy look when it was rare, back in the early 90's say, but now it's not sexy or cool. It's old.

I'll admit, Lapa on a sunday night near the docks does go off.

There was one weekend when i spotted Loz there, and a Cop helicopter came down -.-..

Dunno if it was a scare tactic, but we jumped into our cars and 20 of us just left, leaving the other 100 behind.. Dunno what happened after because when we pulled out there was about 14 undercovers / marked / HW patrol cars parked up gearing up.

Lucky we left, but i think Lapa is a no go zone now, true you want to go out with your mates just to kick back and have a laugh, look at the scenery and all.. but the cops enforce the law.. they can basically do what they want man, and theres nothing you can do about it.

Theres a limit, understandable. But its only gonna' get worse for imports if this retalliation stays up.

Ive had my fair few confrontations with the cops aswell, but theres nothing you can do.

Stay out of Lapa man, and George Street, and Orange Grove ( Krispy Kremes ) and Brighton .. ..

Real sports cars don't even have fog lights anymore. You're right, they were only cool back in the early 90's.

These days, seeing fog lights just tell me that I'm approaching an econobox or family hauler. If it's quick, then I know it's a tarted up econobox / family hauler.

I should get booked but the point im making is that many coppers would rather give Skyline owners grief then bother a liberty (which middle aged men mainly drive)

Why do you think i sold my R33 ?

      Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat".

      Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
