Dsturbd : I had the front bar replaced with a Varis style, but the people who installed it, didn't move the indicators from my previous bar to the current bar. Thus the missing indicators. I didn't even know until the pit.

docile : It was Whelspool, I've been there twice and had no problem for compliancing.

red17 : actually the GT-wing is within the width of the car. It looks like, it's sticking out but not really (optical illusion), I don't mind loosing it, as it's dangerous . Hmm I wasn't complaining for failing the pit :D ..

I was complaining by the fact that I came out of the car park, and the cops noticed me putting my seat belt on as the car was moving. For the past 12 years, I've never been followed/stopped, but ever since I bought the Skyline and Supra (especially the Supra), I've been followed 3 times, stopped twice. It seems that they're waiting for me to make a mistake and then get me .. Oh well .. I think that's the price for owning one of these cars.

Sounds like the pit inspectors were pretty fair with you to be quite honest.

All those items are quite valid.

You didn't notice that you had no front indicators????

That must have sounded a bit like "my dog ate my homework" type excuse to the inspectors hence they pinged you for the spoiler.

I've always found if your upfront with them they'll be reasonable with you.

Cheers

Yeah, I know .. As I mentioned I didn't complained about failing the pit .. In regards to the front indicators .. I didn't know about the law that was changed in 91 ie compulsory to have side indicators. I definately didn't pick that one up until the engineer told me that it was missing.

I know some people who have gone over the pits without them and have passed.

I'd be looking to put it behind the wheel arch rather than on the front of it on the bar...

there are some pretty schmick ones around the place - not too spensive either. a mate has stuck bmw side ones in - they look bling.

      And also there were for sale scams and the like. For sale posts need piccies, and not having piccies makes it harder to do a driveby scam.

      And I forgot to add my *** footnote to the above post, which was that the pipework mods would be even more significant than what had to be done for the highflow. So just add that onto the list. Pipework mods are no killer, just made the tasklist longer at a time when extra tasks were not welcome.

      I mean he could post them to imgur or the like and create a link. But yeah, spam bots absolutely will post pictures in their first posts.

      Ah ok, reason I asked was for the sake of not having to upgrade everything if the turbo couldn't be capped.

      pffft! My alignments are starting to take 3-4 weeks each. Bugger overnight - that would be a dream! Overnight is when I leave it on stands with the rear suspension in pieces, hoping I can remember where I was at when I come back to it. I have to set the car up on a level surface so I can get decent camber measurements, then try to set the RUCAs to the right length to get that right. Then I have to put the car somewhere else where I have enough room to set up the bumpsteer gauge (laser, paper, mirror), so I can dial out that. Then I need to go measure camber again because changing the tension arm length affects that also. Then I need to measure toe, and I can't do that to my own satisfaction at home, so I have to put it on an actual aligner. Then I have to go back and fix the camber again, and if that took more than a half a turn, decide if I want to set up the bumpsteer measurements again. I previously had the bumpsteer almost completely banished and then I started changing things again! And that's only the rear end. Not even gotten to talking about the front yet. And this has been going on in the context of me discovering a seized bolt in the LHR FUCA bush at the upright, hence needing total disassembly to replace that bush and the others that were not far away from the same outcome, replacing sphericals in the front end and making a mistake that resulted in needing to do it again, which is only half done right now. It's a selfmade nightmare. Only have self to blame, etc etc. But regardless, I am so complelely unable to utilise the services of a normal wheel aligner that I have no choice. I haven't found a shop in my city that does "race" alignments - and by that I don't mean I want my car to be set up for racing, but the set of adjustments that I have available and that need to be used to do the alignment are the same as you'd find on a race car. I haven't looked everywhere, but there doesn't appear to be the equivalent of the motorsport focused shops that are present in Sydney and Melbourne. And such an alignment would cost $300, and you only want to do it once in a while, and you don't want to find out that you have to replace bushes and bearings and such while you are spending that $300 so you have to come back and spend it again a week later. So I stay living in my self made nightmare for the moment.
