As the subject suggests, I hope everyone had a great new years eve !!

I had a great little encounter on New Years eve and I hope its a sign of things to come.

Anyway I was stopped by a "highway patrol" car (one of the new brightly painted Fords) on my way home after work in North Melbourne.

I thought here we go, they are going to bust me for being too loud or too low.

The cop asked me for my license and told me he was going to do a random breath test. While the cop checked my license his partner started walking around my car, and even crouched down to look underneath. At this point I thought he was going to start asking me what mods I have.

To my complete surprise he said "great car" he told me to take it easy and to have a safe new years eve.

I was totally shocked, my last few encounters with cops have been painfull.

Anyway just thought it would be nice to post about a pleasent encounter with the cops, and I hope we can all be this fortunate this year.

Cheers :P

ba denham! I got pulled over quite a few times in melb for various things (the most notable being the 3 days before I left) and in every instance (where i was driving!) they've let me go without incident. Once you get older the hassle gets smaller, you're not a "target" anymore for them..

I spent new years on broadbeach which was great. See the photo in my thread, that is basically where i spent NYE, drinking on the beach (which is fully legal, unlike police state VIC), and there were fireworks there. So yeah, good :P

    • Thanks heaps. So basically, bare block, very very similar. And cranks are the same
    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
    • I have GT2860R. I'm not sure if they are -5 or -7. Do you know? These are the exact ones.  https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html?srsltid=AfmBOopSCzHaDtf7nggL6R8KrD8RJP4wxBJitmkRmswmv2SaEbAVcxTe And to be honest, i think the car was the most enjoyable to drive on the streets when it was 280hp (205kw). I could enjoy all the revs to redline i wouldn't be going crazy fast, but just fast enough to know that you are working the car.  
    • If i used a cooling system pressure tester, would it show me a leak with the head gasket? Ive used one before to chase down a leaking coolant hose. Not sure if this will work on the oil-cooler warmer.
