RTA approved engeineers, its on the RTA site give them a call and see what you have to do, i have been defected 3 times with my certificate, and my mate just got done with a stock exhaust for (to loud) cops in the newcastle area are pretty bad atm

I've never been pulled over "for driving a skyline" and I've owned skylines for 5 years.

That's because your too quick for em Fangio! :P

I used to winge about getting followed home by the police from Chatswood back in the day, or getting pulled over and RBT'd all the time. It's a fact of owning a performance car. Our cars are more likely to be stolen, crashed or driven outside the law. Now that they have the automagical license plate reading system you will find if you have been naughty in the past you will probably get pulled over more too.

When I used to boot around in my Nissan Patrol I never got harassed by the police, but I wasnt out cruzing at 1am on a weekend in it either and the mods where legal. (Plus it takes a while for the Patrol to get up to speed, and they cant really see you behind the smoke screen).

just 2cents. Most the cops are pritty cool and just want us all to behave. Just remember the attitudes and behaviour they have to deal with next time you wonder why they put on the tough guy act when walking to your car.

One thing I have come to realise is this...

I got a Skyline.. The police hate imports, we are the victims etc etc

I got a Patrol.. The Police hate 4wd's and mods, we are the victims and environmental vandals.

I got a Mountain bike.. Motorists hate cyclists, Greenys hate Mountain Bikers and we are the victims.

OMG, you mean I have to get council permission to build a cubby house?

there should be an MP who loves cars and can protect us from the government

Open more tracks for all of us that will sort everything out

they should open the old catalina track or fix it atleast. its closer than waky and cheaper than eatern creek. lol well atm its free but we are not aloud to drive on it just walk

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
