Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[JimmyS]

So the last few weeks i have been getting my car ready for another attempt at Dickson.

Replaced all exhaust gaskets

Stuck on my English translation "engine tune up sticker", Tyre placard and Jacking procedure stickers.

Replaced Rotors/Pads

Printed of a scanned copy of the Wheel track measurements from a workshop manual.

1.They did not accept my print out of the track measurements because it was not a genuine nissan document, I did asked them to ring nissan and confirm and they said its not their responsibility. I asked if an genuine Australian workshop manual would be sufficient, But even thats not good enough! apparently the measurements might be different on the JDM/ADM workshop manuals.

2. showed my new engine tune up sticker and they were very surprised i actually found one, The oldest car inspector made the comment "whats that for"

So i passed on everything but my track measurement problem

It looks like i have to find a set of standard GTR wheels to get past their stupid game

Anybody have a set i can please use?

Or something 16x8+30 225/50/16

My heart goes out to you man. I just finished playing their games - and it was not fun. I think I had the difficulty on Expert at the rate I was hassled. But on the actual passing they were a little lenient - they all remembered me to which I thought would be a bad thing.

Anything GTR I won't be able to help - but all the best ! Thursday 9am seemed like a good time to go through haha

Thats bullshit Jimmy,

I had troubles like that on my engineers cert for my old 4wd but thats because it has to be what's stated on the engineers cert.

If the car is complied then its complied to ADR specs and a JDM manual means shit, and as long as the dont come out past the guards or foul on anything then thats ok, on a car with a tare weight of 1290+kg you are allowed 2in or 51mm bigger rims, also the track can't be narrower then factory.The maximum legal permissibile increase in the vehicle's track width in most states of Australia is 25mm and others 26mm. Most states subscribe to the National Code of Practice, which stipulates a maximum track increase of no more than 25mm.

Drove to Cooma and back, first decent highway trip in it, nice and smooth, no overheating, seems all good.

Popped out of 5th a couple of times, does this in third too, feels like the detent is worn or something. Maybe during the bodgy conversion from auto, the shifter hole wasnt cut right. must look closer.

[Got a Pulsar]

Yes, Cooma Run = FUN! Thanks Mik!

Got my Magnaflow Muffler on, Love the look and the quietness.

Surpirisingly it took away all exhaust drone even though it's as straight thru as the Canon.

All flanged up so I can chuck the canon on anytime.

[Sinista32]

very good looking exhaust Rob

[Got a Pulsar]

Thanks Mate!

Well worth it.

[Sklyn]

Very nice Rob!!

You said they are twin 3" tips right?

there's another thing to go on my list... it just grows and grows. =)

[Got a Pulsar]

3" in and out with a 3" Twin Tip welded on.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Nice to drive with you Rob

Zorst looks sweet, sounds good too, it doesnt hum or blat, and it doesnt hiss, its good.

should see mine, but it works fine.

[Got a Pulsar]

Yeah man, that big bend in yours makes it sit pretty low...

[Sinista32]

MiK - what sort of exhaust do you have ?

Maybe you could come and have a look at what I have and see if your interested (bring wallet)

Being 32 either spares should fit.

[Got a Pulsar]

5zigen should do the trick.
