This is the main reason why i dont go out between Thursday to Sundays around the coast, to many cops even if you are doing nothing wrong and your car is not defectable you still get hassled.

But on the other hand there are alot of idiots who attract the cops and give us a bad name.

Save it for the track.

this is part of the reason why i am trying to keep my car looking stock. the only things i could get defected for is cutting the front reo to fit the cooler in, and the exhaust noise.

but the thing is that they book people in performance cars for having illegal mods. they should be pulling over old cars to make sure that the brakes work, the lights work, that they aren't leaking oil quicker than they use fuel, there isn't rust all through it so as soon as it hits a bump half the suspension falls out.

and on the note of being booked in standard cars, there is a cop in town that loves booking people for the stupidest things. a guy in a brand new patrol ute got booked because his number plate wasn't visible from 45 degrees looking from the top. it was in the factory position, with the factory tray.

mad082... if ur referin to the cop 'M LITTLE' then i know what your perfectly talking about in terms of him booking people not no reason. he clearly has no idea what he is talking about nor has an idea about any modification requirements allowed.

Ha Welcome To defect day,

God I hope that isn't why Nicky sms'ed me :happy: Cause I wasn't out

And if your interested the cars that attended the dyno day I left early after a good feeding frenzy, a supra, 5ILLE, KFR34, Silver GTR and engine, his Sweet 4dr33 & engine, and her R33gtst and engine, a killerV8 & its Turbo and a RebelV8. Sky line

this is up in gympie <hides head in shame>. but the problem is that he knows EXACTLY what is legal and what's not. my old boss got booked for having the towbar on his gt forrester because it slightly blocked the numberplate.... if you were trying to look at it from dead horizontal.

the cop is very polite in how he does it. he doesn't act like a prick in how he talks to you, like some cops. but apparently he has to move town every few years since he pisses so many people off. he is the sort of cop that would pull over other cops... or his own mother.

yep, very much like this cop. except this cop didnt know what he was talking about. he gave me a fine for not having a modification plate. clearly i dont require a modification plate for any of the mods i have done and he was happy to mention that he goes through the courts atleast 3 times a week cause people fight the fines he hands out. well, clearly this should state something to him.

Mr KAOS always causing KAOS ha ha unlucky mate....

but shit love the new combo hooks up real good.... can't wait to see the batles on @ jambo 32's everywhere...

GO 8 SEC GTR's & GTST's you know u can do it........

umm yeah thats gotta be the hottest GTST around too.... guess the boys in blue were just doing there job

IDEA- we need a KRISPY KREME in brissy that outta get half the cops off the street :P;):huh:

autobarn dyno day? which autobarn has a dyno?

The autobarn at slacks creek held a dyno shootout comp day, not very well advertised, only instore and on a couple of other places.

I drove down the coast on the weekend... drove down sat nite, went to BWCP, drove back. Went back down Sunday, went down the spit, back up etc. Not a problem. We saw them pulling a few cars over tho. Bit bloody dangerous the way they were doing it if you ask me!

I had one cop kinda follow me just round a few back streets round my house. But hey, he forgot to indicate, I didnt do anything wrong so that would have learnt him!

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
