Took the car with the new suspension up to the pacific highway.

What a nice road and almost no traffic up there, except for lunatic bikers and the low speed limit :laugh:

After that pie in the sky place, i just caught the glimpse of a highway patrol way ahead.

He pulled over to let me go in front...oh no...after the next corner i pulled over didnt want him following me! for the next 15kms. He stopped behind me dammit..

First he checked my tyres..

Him: Why are your tyres sticky?

Me: Are they? Hot day?

Him: Why did you catch up to me?

Me: Were you going slow? I wasnt going that quick.

Him: Is it turbo?

Me: Yes officer.

Him: Can i see your licence?

Me: Here you go.

Him: Can you open the bonnet, i want to see if you have an external wastegate.

Me: :D Whats that?

Him: Goes on to explain, i tuned out but he knew what he was talking about.

Me: Open bonnet.

Him : Is it stock? It looks stock.

Me: Yep.

Him: I am concerned about your tyres being sticky. Take it easy dont kill yourself...and drives off.

He wasnt too bad, no attitude or anything, but then im not 19 either or even close! ;p

Girlfriend: Why did you get another skyline... oh no now im in trouble....

He was driving a marked patrol car....

As for the wastegate? I dont know why he was that specific, just an excuse to have a look maybe.

Yeah, that's my guess too.

Despite common belief, a lot of police are actually excellent and aren't out there to F&%k you in the arse.

obviously you've been polite and respectful which is what you should be and also the reason some people have troubles... they're not.

although, I can say from experience, there are some police that are just bulsh*tting arseholes.

nissky arent u running the standard bridgestones that joel put on them?

why the heck would the tyres be sticky, wouldnt it be better if they were sticky, more grip,

"dont kill yourself" why the hell do all cops think we're gonna kill ourselves driving a skyline.

I think the skyline is alot safer than someone driving a rusted old piece of crap that will fall apart if it gets in an accident. Ive seen plenty of those on the road every day.

Still its good to see the police are trying to keep the road toll down on the pacific hwy. I've heard that external wastegates are the major cause of accidents along there!!

I'm sure he coulda been more of a dick and picked u up on something but it still begs the question why did he bother??

EDIT: Oh and eugen, pretty much anything u do to your car can be defected. Boost controller, pfc, fmic, aftermarket suspension, wheels the list goes on....oh wait...now i'm not sure if u were joking?!?! My bad if you were :laugh:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
