Can we cut out the useless Asian jokes? There were some valid commentary and extremely good points raised. Funny posts regarding EPA carpark dobbing which I'm all for to give those in the system a taste of their own.

But if you insist on the race jokes why don't we just move on and make some comments about Africans. Greek? No Italian. I'm not sure it's hard to make up my mind since there's Afghans, Jews, and half-casts in between. I'm a bit spoilt for choice but I guess that's one of the privileges I have living in a multi-cultural society.

Don't forget ur mum either....

lol what are you on about...everyone's race cops a beating here. It's the reason we all get along so well. You can bag mine if you can work out where the f**k I come from!

Equestria. Why the long face?

Lmao. Nice one Basti, tactfully done. Apologies if i'm quick with the trigger. Last fortnight I did humanity an injustice because I kept silent so as to be 'agreeable' to a group of people i just met. But that's my problem. Cheers.

Bit of an update:

Got home and was greeted with a letter from EPA and thought "Cool, maybe they've grown some logic and are withdrawing the original test notice".

Low and behold, what I read disgustted me. Basically, the letter read "The time of 2:22pm should read 4:20pm".

Now, this is the part that annoys me because in my email, I outlined to them my exact movements and what time. They basically taken note of what I wrote to them and then changed the time of apparent infringement to suit them!!

Obviously I was in the area at the time of 4:45pm (DUH! I wrote to you in the email saying I was there!) BUT not even close to the road/time I was apparently spotted on!

My faith in EPA has well and truly been lost. "Disgraceful" is the only word I can think, knowing they are more than willing to pull off a stunt like changing times around AFTER I emailed them with my location/wehereabouts.

even more reason to fight it mate.

time to get the press involved.

Does the report say the name of the officer who reported you?

If so, go to the station and ask if you can talk to them, or organise a time to speak to them....

Then say "This report says that I was here at 2:22pm, is it possible that you've gotten the time wrong, because I wasn't even in this part of melbourne at the time."

He'll of course say "No, that is correct, I spotted you at 2:22pm at xxxxxxx", reading back the details of the first report.

Boom, conflicting information, and a bullshit "amendment" from EPA...

Will be enough to get it cancelled.

You really love getting the press involved huh? LOL

Nope, no name. I've tried since day one to get the name of reporting officer so I could have a chat to him and see where the error has occured. Unfortunatly, EPA continue to withhold the name of the officer for some reason or another.

If I was able to get the officer's name, I would no doubt follow the path you mentioned as the two conflicting stories will raise alarm bells. Hopefully the officer isn't in on it also. EPA = Untrustworthy!

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
