Riiiight...... So what was there lame arse excuss for not wanting to pursue it????? What was it the Mafia or some Crime son of rajab that did it or something????

Serioulsy someone carjacked you???? Like what you see in the movies???

yeah my last R33, i wont go fully into it, cause it would be off topic, but simply, bashed, hand over keys, hospital, high speed chase, write off car, and now nothing will be done, it sh*ts me cause i had a full no claim of 60% too, now down to 0% my insurance has skyrocketed, they say they dont have enough evidence, and yet they have fingerprints and DNA (from blood) and they HAVE matched to it someone, but they need more evidence, GEEZ what more can ya have, its seems like they want them to admit to it......

sorry for the off topic... :P

Well the topic was heading this way anyhow. I remember that little or rather large incident. u could always ask the cops if u can have his address. :P

The law is too clear cut so common sense doesnt really come into it. If a cop has doubts whack on a yellow. "yellow em all and let ADR sort em out" thats what they are paid to do. I they see u speeding, drving recklessly but cant prove it: yellow. Yellow is just a good all round piss off. They generally dont yellow the old clunckers becasue they know that that is obviously all that the driver can afford and there is generally somethign wrong with most pre 85 cars. We all drive expensive cars and can afford to fix problems etc etc so basically we can afford it.

May sound like a double standard but if ure student in a $800 car and a cop lets u off a yellow he has basically granted u permission to keep ure car. If ure in a 16-20k car u can obviously afford to fix whatever if anything is wrong with it and shouldnt be in the first place because that kinda stuff is usually intentional.

Boostzor:

agree with most of what you said but alot of the time they are not "yellowing" cars for things that are "wrong" with it, they just do it for stupid stuff, like air filters, steering wheels, etc etc. i dont know if this is what your meaning by something wrong with it, if you are forget my post, hehehe :P

"Somethign wrong with it" some ricer thinking he can get away with gutting the cat, cutting his springs, removing muffler, putting in dumass blue bulbs that dont give out f all light etc etc. A cops not gonna go crawling around under ure car on the side of the road, all he has to have is suspicions and he can slap on a yellow sticka, thats what they are for. Well unofficially.

what - and you know every single part of a computer and what it does and what to do straight off the top of your head when an obscure error message comes up??  

youre comparing the wrong things again. learning the types of cars is not a hard thing to do, and they need to lean them in order to do their job properly

hahaha i just read this little line of threads and i know exactl where you guys are comming from the other we me and my mates where cruzing round in our cars and the cops pulled my mate over for "suspected drag racing" they then yellowed his car there and then for dirty head lights down the pits next day (nothing done to headlights) passed straight away ... hmm

another friend who drives a old v8 holden with rust all through it

oil leaks etc cops pulled him over looked and said "hmmm mate u might want to get that fixed some time" and that was it .... now really you tell me whats fair

Yes.

So they have to know every vehicle on the road, plus all the laws in state and federal?? Nice one

Someone mentioned why dont cops go after the old bombs and yellow all of them. I'd like to ask them to look around next time there driving, cops have been doing so. Compared to say 5 years ago theres **** all old bombs out there now days, you rarely see a car blowing a shitload of smoke anymore, or sitting in the carpark trying to start for 5 minutes and then getting 3 people over to push start it. There are very few old bombs out there now days, hell mines one of a die'ing breed.

But mine also passed the pits first time when i registered it :P

I once asked a cop if they can yellow a car for no reason. He said they CAN! He also told me that Subaru WRX can be yellowed from factory. This cop also explained that a yellow means they are not an expert and would like the car proffesionally inspected. You would have to tick the cop of to do that though I think!

The cop was obviously a DICK HEAD to say that a WRX can be Yellowed from the factory. All new cars sold must comply to ADR and obviously if its a factory car it will comply to this. Only when cars are modified do they warrant a Yellow if no permits are obtained.

If I had that cop tell me that right now i'd blast his ass, take down his badge number and create the biggest stink around. Id do this on principle alone.

Cops think they know it all.... just like how they know how to tune carbies on R32 GTRs.....

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
