on the same day i was at supercheap at stud park around lunch time and there were two coppers in the car park with an unmarked black SS.. funny thing was they were 'guarding' a fully sick drift spec 180 with sponsor stickers and all, minus number plates with the bonnet up exposing the big above mount turbo..

the coppers looked pretty puzzled as the owner seemed nowhere around, so while i was at the check out counter at supercheap, one of the cops came in and questioned the check out boy about the owner, they suspected (and i quote "we have received information that the owner is hiding in here" ) the owner to be in the store hiding LOL..

although i would have liked to hang around a little to see what unfolded next, i thanked my lucky stars for not being in my skyline before getting the fark out of there before my 1600 was compromised :spank:

:spank:

Yeah that was Pettet and his Sidekick in the Black SS unmarked, and it did happen around lunch time, it must of just been after i was defected.

Yeah dang i didnt get any of the guys details i might have to call back and speak to another person there that deals with Defects, It was pretty clear what he told me about what i can do do bypass the V.A.S.S.

Pretty good point to get the details of the person i spoke too, wish i did now because i know how crummy VicRoads are majority of the time.

Lucky i have the Work Car for a week so i have time to fix it all up.

You dont want the details - you want it in writing is what i've found :)

Soon as you ask for that, someone with the actual knowledge comes out or you get the "oh, hang on a minute there is something here that says..."

Only reason i say that, is it happened to me with my whole VASS debarcle late last year where VicRoads documentation says i dont need one, call centre says i dont need one

Yet i rockup and low and behold some guy comes out with some mystical piece of paper says i do. And i looked @ thier website for hours and printed out all my doco's that backed me up.

Such is VicRoads really :cheers:

Althou Lucky i have a friend who works at the EPA who hopefully can do something about this and rip the letter in half *sit on that Pettet*

Well you drive a car illegally modified, at the end of the day he is just doing his job.

Drive a legal car, or take the consequences on the chin.

You might not agree with the law, but you live here so you have no choice

yeah but if you actually read through half of the rules and regulations, HALF of the non-modified cars can be defected too.

some of the rules and guidelines are so vague and stupid it really does leave too much interpretation up to the enforcer, which in turn means there is far more room for prejudice and stereotyping being the reason someone is pulled over and not because there car is obviously a danger/illegal.

I got pulled over driving my full sick VL sedan ages ago... no where near legal... too low, tow bar covered the licence, tyres were worn, rear lights didnt work (it was night when i was pulled over), leaked oil, too loud, illegal tint etc etc... you know what they said, just make sure when i get home i take the towbar off cause if i go through a speedcamera they cant tell what the plate is... so not only did they let me off they then told me how to avoid speeding tickets lol

If i was in a stock skyline with even just rims and a cheap catback they would have gone over the car with a fine tooth comb and probably would have found enough to defect me and receive an EPA letter in a week or 2. And the skyline would be a far safer on the road. So its never going to get any better so no matter what happens your just going to have to put up with it if you drive a modified import.

Funny i never knew driving a skyline was driving a illegal car, Didnt even know that have the FMIC where i had it was illegal, when the instuctions on the install tell you to cut a hole bellow the washer bottle you dont exactly think your doing anything illegal,

I am a truck driver and i am on the road everyday i see cars all the time (it would be almost 100's) everyday that were a lot more dangerous on the roads than my slightly modified skyline.

Anyways FMIC is off and SMIC is back on now ive just got to find a pannel beater to patch the hole up

Why am I not surprised :D

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
