Got the mail today, A letter from urban services... :D

Opened it and its a letter telling me my car has been reported as not having sufficient ground clearence and excessive noise.. :P

As if my GTR would be either of these things!!!!!

I truely didn't think it was possible for these type of reports to happen!!!!

MMMM I've vented of my anger now!

I seriously drive it around slowly 99% of the time... SH#T!!!!

Theres your problem, if you drove it fast like you should, no-one would be able to catch your plates!

That is truly bullshit though! what action did they say you had to take?

is there an inspection and a cost involved? I would be fighting this all the way.

oh yeah, and sorry for reporting you.......

Yeah what did they say was the consequence? An inspection? God people are getting to be pricks these days! I bet the report said something like "I saw a GTR, you know the cars that kill people! It was so low! It made too much noise! There was a young male behind the wheel! It was an accident waiting to happen!

They can and do happen, but it usually takes a few people to dob you in before US do anything about it (e.g. send you a reinspection notice). Maybe theres a few people in your street that dont like your car and banded together to dob you in??

Usuaully you have to have a reinspection, but they have to make it conveniant for you. Upon request they will actually come to your house/work and inspect it, so theres an option. Just raise it up and quieten the exhaust down some how for the inspection, not much else you can do.

if the letter stated that you are required to come in for an inspection, then thats pretty poor......

however, it just said that your car is reported to be blah blah blah..... then just ignore it until you get another notice offically asking you for an inspection, or write back and say something like "thats nice....". but dont be too much of a smart ass, or they might just play funny buggers and issue you with an inspection notice.... :D

Thanks Andrew, I thought it was you!!! <_<

sounds dodge i am trying to remember your car from the marquees in the park thing and it didnt look that low or sound any louder than a normal gtr ???

Its pretty normal...

The letter stated i had 14 days from the 18/11/05 to get the car inspected at Dickson. my rego ran out today and now they also wont renew it until i have the inspections done!!! If i failed to have the inspection within the 14 days i will have court date and about $2000 dollar fee!!! :P

Yeah shes booked in to get the ISSUES fixed... But still no rego!

the people in the apartments i live in actually look heaps at the GTR. But i really didnt think she was too loud

I wish but they had fair dig at me!!!

Thanks all for the advice. Will keep you all updated!!!

To dob someone in to the RTA you need to give your Name and license number n shit. So if someone is just sookin cause they can they are wasting your time. Complain about it.... if you car is fine......

They can go back after the "sook" for wasting there time :P

yea i am waiting for the day that i get in trouble i go as slow as i can in ours and basically try to make as little noise as possible but it just drones in those places... though i reckon if your exhaust starts setting off alarms then you may have an issue mine only seems to be setting one stupid car off but it must be very touchy :P

Yeah i received a similar sort of thing recently just after passing an inspection at a servo, except mine was a "randomly selected quality assurance follow up inspection"... Random my ass.. :)

Got it cleared yesterday at dickson - althought it was 5mm too low and .1 db too loud, they let it slide :unsure: I've never been to dickson so i was stressing like crazy, but the guys were actually nice

Bad luck with that though, the RTA are on a crazy blitz!! Funny that, its formal season and the RTA are EVERYWHERE!

I got reported for excessive noise too, but when I went to Dickson to have it inspected it was well under the limit, the only problem was that the handbrake didnt work well enough, can you believe that, they checked EVERYTHING when it was only reported for noise... F*ckers!

I got the same thing, except I opted for them to come to my house. I wasn't about to waste my time driving to dickson when I had already passed the initial inspection

Looks like it's not so random after all.

Did they actually bother coming to your house? I figured if i make them get of their asses to come to me, they're gonna be pissed off slightly more then if i brought the car to them...

The other reason why i bothered driving to dickson is because im still in the "new car phase" where i find places to drive just for the sake of driving... I'm addicted :P

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
