Well maby you should keep it legal and you wont have anything to be fined for...!

Seriouslly i hate it when people crap on about how hard they were done by the police "cry cry cry". If you dont want a ticket you should obey the law....

No excusses...

BTW. I have been fined twice back in 2001 and both times I was in the wrong and i admitted it and took the tickets and even said "Thank You". If you do the crime you do the time...

If you dont modify your car according to the law then you pay the fine.

etc...

Amen to that, thats 100% spot on.

BUT... its not good if that just pull up every import that goes past, and let guys in aussie cars go past without a drama. There must be a reason for it, though. Cops are not idiots, they would be pulling over whomever they have the most dramas with. Obviously they have had more dramas with imports than aussie cars as far a defecting goes.

If we all follow ADR guidelines, then eventually they'll stop pulling us over. Its cause and effect.

I aggree that imports and the like are popular with the cops... But thats only cause they get som many fines out of them...

Im sorry i jumped the gun I just dont have any sympithy for those who moan that there hard done by...

I drive in a sensible manner on the road most of the time and leave my stupidity for the track.

If i was to be fined for being a knob then id take it on the chin.

For the record. I have owned 4 skylines over the last 5 years and have NEVER been pulled over in this time...

It all comes down to drivier attitude... I will admit that some times its "Wrong place at the wrong time"

But i avoid those places and times... ;)

but the laws are a joke, 80% of the defects are a waste of time.

Yeah i agree with you.Half the time they dont know what is standard on some cars ie the battery in the boot in 33's he didnt believe me that its standard issue.

yeah, even something as simple as unboxed pod filters, wheel sizes, bonnet vents etc which pose no problem if common sense is used, are all outlawed.

I think that if the regulations were more realistic and made more sense, there would be less dramas. Most of us use common sense and dont have anything anyone would consider dangerous or offensive (noise etc), but are still frowned upon, and although ive been careful with my car, there is bound to be something on it defectable.

Some cops are decent, others arent. not all are bad, not all are good, a lot of them are just doing their job. remember that they dont make the rules, and THEY get in shit if they dont enforce them.

I had to whip out my manual to prove that a stagea comes with a turbo 6 from factory. A big problem is they assume the worst.

Heeee...

One night i saw a guy get fined for a non standard engine...

It was a old volvo turbo... I dont know much about volvos but the guy who got the ticket was fairlly nice and said to the police. "Its the stadard engine in this model" The police man ripped him a ticket and told him to shut the %%%% up and that he was no born yesterday.

The guy took the ticket and laughed it off. He was a bit upset about his treatment and continued to explain to us it was factory and we believed him. Why would he need to lie to us...?

So yeah sometimes it's BS...

geezzzz you ask one question and i get a daddy lecture!!.

I'm with you R334door

Thats the only reason I don't drive my line around that much (its lucky to come out on a weekend) I'm worried every time I go out for a drive in it. If you get pulled up they will fined you for something dumb like too big wheels or to wide wheels or a harness or something dumb like that and thats bl**dy stupid in my books because those three thing can save more lives then take them

Ill be completelly honest...

I have one defective part on my car...

I have a SSQV HKS valve venting to atmosphere...

But what i have done to make it legal in the eyes of the law is modify a small pod filter over the front of the valve. This way it can function the way it is meant too and its filtered and therefore legal.

If i was to be ticketed for this i would take the ticket and then dispute the ticket with the transport department and use their own rules and regulations.

Because the reason BOV's have to be plumb back is so they are filtered by the cars air filter. You can by all means filter the BOV in a seperate filter... Thats quite legal.

Hehe, I was parked at milton a while back and a police officer on a bike asked me to pop the bonnet on my silvia........I looked at him very confused considering I was driving a Black R33 Skyline at the time!

Good to see that these cops aren't stupid and know what they're talkin about. :D

and for the record, he saw my modification plate and was happy with that. Just as well too, would have been interesting to see what he would have fined me for...."incorrect badging of a Nissan S13 Silvia". ;)

UMm no you cant. it has to be hooked up.this is what is so confusing.My oil catch can has a filter on it and its no except , it to has to be be hooked up.you cant have one and no the other.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
