I guess i have posted in the SA section about my thoughts on police targeting import cars but how do you think the 4- door generation go with the law? Cefiro's, Laurels and the like seem to fair ok against teh tuff sticker slapping police so it seems. How does everyone else go?

i got done in my ceffy last night, speeding, unregistered vehicle. the police had a good look at the car, but didn't ask to look under the bonnet or check ride height or anything like that. perhaps because i'd been busted for enough already, or perhps because it was a four door and i was co-operative.

4 doors seem to help in not attracting attention (when doing the right thing). but if you're being a dickhead, it doesn't matter what you're in

i've been pulled up for speeding which i talked my way out of, cop was a TMU officer and didn't seem to fussed about the car. Only had a quick double look at my boost guage when he saw it as he walked back to his car. Also been tailed by the imfamous Knox TMU officer for a fair distance and no trouble - although mind you my car still has a quiet exhaust and nothing obviously defectable, also I don't drive like a dick.

Gotta admit man, speeding, no rego your kind asking for it a bit :( and no offence, but you should have been done. Thats just silly driving un regoed.

Mr Eps, you got shinny wheels? And your in Perth right? Mark used to live in Perth and from what I was told gave the cops a good run around with his RB26 cef. So they probably just dont like them over there.

I've only been pulled over twice in 2.5 years. And only got done on one of those occasions.

TOUCH WOOD!

I havnt been done yet in about a year and half. My car is legal height at the chassis but exhaust sits too low and has a moderate sounding exahaust.

Been followed by numerous police / TMU / Undercover TMU and nothing happened yet. If the car isn't obviously illegal they usually dont mind (and if ur not driving like a knob) thats why i got rid of my kit. So when the new exhaust comes it wont be so obvious :(

completely agreed Daveo, the car is booked on tuesday for a RWC. i drove to the petrol station to fill her up for the track day at Winton today, put the foot down in the back street and an unmarked car spotted me. i'm not one to whinge & cry about it. i did a number of wrong things and will wear a suitable punishment for my actions.

on the plus side, i don't have to go court, and once the suspension of my license comes into effect, i can put more time & effort into the car. new kit......

I havent been looked at more then twice.

Then again my car is only painted with an exhaust. Not lowered or over the top.

I guess if u drive to the law they will think ur just another dad or mum driving their kids to school or something.

Tis fun getting the looks by police when they have know idea what my car is.

When i had that ex ken satoh ceffy i drove it around all over the place... past cops, tailed by cops and nothing happend and that thing wasnt registered, didnt have plates, sat about 1inch off the ground, RB26, cage and had a 3inch straight pipe with no cat for an exhaust.

i even pulled into a servo and behind me two cops pulled in to fill up... i was blocking them and they couldnt move until i had finished, started it up and gave it a quick blip of the throttle to get it going... started pulling out.... floored it to get upto speed, quick change down to get into the other lane for a u turn (blowing flames) and they didnt even pull me over...

yet in my soarer, R32 i got pulled over all the time.

just doesnt make sense...

lol yeah in all honesty i shouldnt have got it in the 1st place.

altho i dont regret it... the time i did have it i had lots of fun in it :banana:

was a massive car... (as in awesome not large... altho its a cef of course its large)

i remember the shock on so many peoples faces and the utter confusion it caused back then. No one had seen one before and there werent as many around as now and with that kit and wheels it had an awesome stance on the road. I remember taking off from the lights and seeing an old lady jump from fright haha.

I live in S.A and have been pulled over plenty of times in my ceff, but only defected once. I was in the wrong place at the worng time i guess, was a female copper that defected me, she was driving the other way, spotted my shiny intercooler did a instant u-turn after me and pulled me over, bam, defect :D

Most of the time coppers dont look at my ceff really but as soon as they hear some turbo "noises" then they seem alot more interested in the car.

      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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
