i love cops,

ive changed just about every thing on my 33 from body to engine, turbo to seat belts every thing is after market and it is fully engineered and ligit.

however i still got defected for the pod filter even tho it was in a fully sealed after market box. and over the whole car he could only get me for being 5mm (yes 5mm) to low where my exhuast goes under the rear axle. like seriously WTF

i was polite as you would always be and didnt hide anything, but super cop along the Northen Road defected me and sent me to the pits.

Just out of interest, what is the process here in NSW after you get defected? Who can clear your car and how much does it cost? How much can you drive the car before you get cleared?

Ps- think it might be time to hide my pod!

my next defect is gonna be for not having a H pattern on my gearknob... i'm sure that poses a clear and present threat to everyone's well being

LOL i have been defected for that.

it was a very stupid defect if you ask me. they couldn't even properly explain why it was a defect. they just said that it needed to be there. :(

this is what happened:

- got defected for exhaust and pod in a box

- had to hunt around for a replacement exhaust and box

- got it fitted

- showed up at AUVIS mech. who inspected it (paid $51)

- passed paperwork to RTA

- pay $74 fine

excepting the fine, it has to be done within 7 days... it's been two weeks for me so far

Yeah. Let's be tough on "hoons" who have a pod filter, but we won't chase after people who skim credit card details at an ATM and use them fraudelently, WHEN I'VE DONE ALL THE DAMN INVESTIGATIVE WORK AND GOTTEN NAMES AND NUMBERS FOR YOU TO RING AND THEY HAVE AN ADDRESS.

GG.

this is the thing... i knew what the f**k I was doing... i knew this easiest and cheapest place to get a replacement box and exhaust (I got one off here and I get a complete Jap exhaust cheap)... and I have a 9-5 job like everyone else... and it STILL took me close onto 2 weeks to get it done...

f**ks me how ya supposed to do it in 7 days... i called around a few exhaust shops too and they are largely time wasters... it was easier just to get my mechanic to do a complete swap

I know full well these cops are just out to be complete dicks and they seem to love booking people for doing 80 in a 70 zone on an onramp... it's all wasted money and time...

i think i said i was pulled over for an RBT... at 7.30 in the morning... going to work

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
