Last night i got pulled over, I 5hit myself because I was speeding and he could have defected me for my modifications on the car.

Cop “ Mate are you in a hurry?”

babylon“ Hi Sir how are you 2nite?”

Cop “I had to go passed a few cars to catch up with you”

Babylon “ I wasn’t speeding sir I promise”

Cop “ Is this your car?”

Babylon “Yes”

Cop “I know it’s a nice car and they go fast but you need to take it easy”

Babylon “Officer I know I was giving it a bit but I was always watching my speed I didn’t go past 60”

Cop “Have you been drinking ?”

Babylon “NO

Cop “ is there any problems with your licence or Car, What’s your address? Where are you heading to?”

I answered all his questions I was very polite. He did the breath test . He told his partner that he thought that im ok I haven’t been drinking. He said “ look mate im not hassling you but you need to slow down”

We started to talk about the world cup and talk about skylines and then he let me go.

Its funny because my cousin lost his licence the other day and I was telling him how I never get caught speeding.

Man was I lucky. My precision of cops changed tonight. From now on im not going to speed on public roads i want to start taking my car to the track!

yeah i dunno if its jus me but theres always 1 nice cop and 1 hero powertrippin` cop.. i ghuess your lucky u got the nice one :)

but yeah i've had a moment like that too for speeding.. i mean i did get booked but he was nice enuff to jus give me 15 over instead. and pretty much reasoned with me saying these cars are quick so u gta be carefull u take 1 look at the road and by the time you look at ur speedo again ur already speeding.. some good cops out there too bad the ones that think theyre heroes ruin the reputation of the police

You say that now, but then comes the letter in the mailbox 2 months from now. :)

nope, they have to call u within 48 hours of the offense if they change their mind to notify you that you will get a letter and will be charged/fined =)

Yeah well I was all "cops are great" until some PMS'ing troll decided she'd book me for a red light offence the other night. That's nice and all, but

1. The light was Orange.

2. I had just put my foot down after leaving a driveway which is about 4m from the intersection line so I didnt have time to take foot off accel and slam on brakes and stop in time.

3. They would have been a fair while away as they took a few mins to catch up, therefore I don't believe they had a clear enough view of the intersection to judge whether I was too close to the line to stop or not.

I was nothing but polite and explained the situation but she still had her heart set on booking me. Therefore, she can go f**k herself.

the copper that pulled me over when i was running my car in was a chik. she had some massive nuts on her too.

she shut up when i said "you wanna EPA me go for it, but i cant rev my car over 3000rpm. if i blow my motor you're paying for it".

i didnt get epa'd.

I generally find that if you are polite to cops and are honest and humble (not to the point of digging your own grave tho!) you get off lightly. If you give them any lip or claim you were doing 40 when you were doing 120 then you're gone.

Cops aren't idiots, and they have a really tough job to do (back when they used analog UHF I used to listen to them on occasion and it's a shit job sometimes). You will get an absolute c*#@ occasionally but most of them will give you a fair go if you don't antagonise them.

      Fender flare widths across front/back of car

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!

      And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
