Howdy Folks,

just a little note of caution for all those out there. Something that probably isnt news but worth thinking about and that I and others believe has been going on for a while.

I am member of another forum and we regularly organise cruises as social events and to attend motorsport days, as most of the forum guy/gals are genuine enthusiasts (Most are 35 years and plus). Last week we had a cruise down in the Southern highlands and guess who showed up. MR PLOD with his own envoy! After chatting to the Officers who were very polite and chilled I must say, we were informed that they had been ordered by "Higher up at HQ" in the traffic division to monitor our cruises through the forum's, with the 300, Silvia and Skylines forum getting particular mentions. And this sort of fits with events that have been happening on our recent cruises, were our blue friends have been appearing in the middle of NO WHERE, on roads where no cars had been seen traveling either way for 50 minutes(apart from us), and appearing at the exact time as we happened to roll through. Coincidence I think not, and this has not happened just once.

I am all for the Police and them doing they're job, but I didn't think myself and my friends belonged to Al Quaeda (or the likes) and warranted such invasive attention. Most of us are old (speed only occasionally or at the race track) and spend a mint keeping our cars in mint condition. Yes these are public forums, but cant our tax money be better spent looking for serious crimes. This F&(^&^&N RIDICULOUS and I feel I know have to watch what ever I say or type. In England the cops chase terrorists while hear they scurry around playing CIA games for a couple of cars with mods. Get a F(*&*(&N LIFE Law Enforcement guys, PLEASE go chase some terrorists or those mother ****ers who poison our kids with smack and like.

Matt :sadam:

I think its invasive and offensive. It this kind of behaviour that creates public resentment towards the Authorities.

I cant say it suprises me a great deal, our Police force loves to stomp on our civil liberties. Oh thats right, as soon as we step into our own vehicle that we've paid for with blood sweat and tears, and drive out onto the roads that we have also paid for through our tax dollars with blood sweat and tears, our rights and liberties are non existant. This is why they can legally search our cars, they can accuse us of any road related infringement and its "Guilty until proven innocent".

OH Crap I forgot, we have no rights in this country! And apparantly no Privacy anymore either.

And now motoring enthusiasts are not allowed to meet together and share their appreciation for their vehicles without being spied on and followed around like terrorism scum.

It makes me hate our Authorities and resent my Country.

Why is it like this? Wheres the Anarchy? The Brits blow up speed cameras because the public disagrees.. what do the Aussies do? What we do best of course! NOTHING.

SHE WONT BE RIGHT, MATES. :uzi:

Heres a big loving F*CK YOU to the Australian Police Force. Thats right, F*CK You, you motherf*cking C*NTS. I F*CKING hate you and wish you all the best in getting yelled at by pissed off motorists. Get F*CKED.

Damn that felt good!

Mate, we've got more than our fair share of traffic cops to harrass us. They drive around in unmarked silver and tinted Mitsu Evo VIIIs, top of the range unmarked Merc estates, the sporty Skoda Octavias and Vauxhall Vectras that a certain PC Milton sees fit to test drive at 159mph (254kmh) to see it's all ok! The Evo guys have been known to egg people on before pulling them. Nice!

What I find paticularly funny is they come up to you and ask "what you guys doing?" everyime without fail, I just want someone to say just one time "Transporting heroin" and see what sort of response you get

cause really, its a stupid question that doesn't need asking, if they saw you doing something wrong they will fine you or something, but I have never seen anyone admit to doing something wrong yet

Although after being rear ended last week by a drunk driver at sutherland way, The cops down there are TOPS! :) they were polite as and everything, except they took my license to get a statement and details, but then didn't give it back and lost it. so I had to buy another one

I got NO problem at all with police policing the roads, I got no problems with police pulling cars over that they suspect are non roadworthy (even if some of the road worthy rules in vic are stupid), I do have a problem with prejudices and targetting.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
