I think all RB's are in the same place, there will be a big RB20/25/26/30 cast into the block near the front and on a little machined surface near the bellhousing low down on the passenger side the engine number is engraved.

So you always know that when a cop says to you "You've got an exhaust here" to which you reply the usual bemused "...yes?", and he says "well that's illegal", to which you reply "well it's quiet and not at all low, how can it possibly be illegal?" and you get the reply "well you tell me sonny!" that you're really in for one hell of a night...

Got done for:

Incorrect stearing wheel [Yes I spelled that right, and I'm pretty miffed about taking mechanical advice from somebody who can't spell steer]

Stearing fluid leak [Fluid, around steering fluid vesicle is often found in the middle of storms when you've driven through puddles, only it's called water, pretty standard mod nowdays]

Breakes *REPAIR* [Didn't get any insight onto what's wrong here either actually, pretty standard stock brakes that y'know... work 'n' all]

And all of that got me an off-road-order.

I'm just wondering, will they only check that list? Or do you get a whole vehicle inspection? I mean, that small list is easily fixed already, since most of it's bollocks, but do I have to go to the trouble of swapping back small mods to pass the pits?

They used a little bendy extender mirror to look at my engine number, I was thinking "sigh, here we go they're about to find out it's an RB30.." but they just notarised it and voila.. R32 GTS30t :D

lol! ditto

ur car can break dance, wikid.

yeah pits take a very brief look at what cops wrote, laugh with you at the fact that police dont know what they are on about, then they tell u whats really wrong with ur car. my advice- cans of degreaser.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
