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

  • 3 weeks later...

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.....

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
