And if theres any cops reading this - EAT ******* AND ***- :D

bad attitude

:whip: bad denham :spank: bad denham

seriously though denham, you have that kind of attitude and then you whinge when you cop a canary. no fcuking wonder mate!

please edit your post. there's no need for that.

We should start our own political party. I'm sure we would be more succesful than the shooters association!!!!

I don't think i'll ever understand why some basic mods are illegal. If the car is made to be faster then why dont the cops just book it when it exceeds the speed limit!!

As for noise pollution, thats just some excuse to book us and raise money for the cops donuts!!! Its discriminating that we cant have loud cars but Harley's would put our cars to shame but if cops started defecting Harleys they would all be F**ken dead!!!!

I think we should become really good friends with bikies and go on cruises with them!!! They block whole interesections, cover their plates when going through red light camera's in large groups and wake-up everyone within a 15kay radius but the p*ssy cops dont to nothing because they are scared of them.

As NWA said "*@$^ the POLICE"

Thats my 2 cents!

i know denham's story, he had every right to make a thread about how unfairly he was treated "where's ur pop off valve" isn't that what the cop said?? Basically had a list of things to look for but didn't really know what they were and didn't know where to look and didn't believe denham when he said he didn't have em. Gave him a canary anyway.

I don't have a modified car, but i am 19, which is just as bad as having a modified car. I've been hassled numerous times walking home (one time a little drunk, 1 time spastic) and getting the full 20 q's, where u been, so what's going down now (what's going down now??? yeah, biggup cops :) ), no hi, how's it going tonight, alright have a good one, nothing but complete and utter disrespect.

Another time outside the Sandy, 1 guy nearly runs over my friend, another massive maori dude is beating the crap out of another friend, outside the train station, cops are ALWAYS cruising it, give them a call, "we'll be there right away" half an hour later, ambulance arrives way before cops, there is a cop shop 5 mins drive away, and they rock up and do f*ck all!

Another one, friend walking home, sirens on, lights flashing and tear it up the street. Slam on the brakes, jump out, grab my friend, slam him up agains the bonnet of the car, pull both arms behind his back .... and THEN start asking him questions!! "what the f*ck are you doing around here? Know anything about a robbery!" My friend was drunk as so all he did was just arc up more, as anyone would do. Did i mention he was 18, now 19?

All this, and i don't even have a hi po car yet!!!! I am yet to meet a nice cop...

and don't get me started about the ones cruising on the trains.... :)

i don't doubt some ppl have been treated unfairly by cops such as denham. he's probably got every right to have a negative attitude towards them having only had negative experiences with them. but one day hopefully that will change.

i just don't like how everyone throws their hands up in the air and says all ****ing cops are unfair. they're not! you've just had a run of bad experiences and that will change when you change your attitude when dealing with them. the thing is, they cop so much crap from young guys that by the time they deal with you or me they've had enough and just assume that we're all alike, that we despise them and that we're out to drag race and do burnouts etc etc. the change has to come mutually and no one's helping the situation by giving up and wearing a chip on their shoulders.

Yer if i was a cop i'd be a **** head to most young people anyway, cause ive seen how many are pricks to em.

And if you car dosn't meet epa regulations, it dosn't meet epa regulations, theres no 2 ways about it. If they get u for ur car polluting too much, u are polluting too much and fairs fair.

Just go dedicated LPG, or sell the skyline and get a car made before 1972, problem solvered.

yeah sure man y dont we all just buy crapadore execs and drive around in em :D

u dont even own a car do u?

yer i do own a car.

Im saying tho, hey if ur car dosn't meet the laws, and you know it dosn't, i wouldn't be bitching about it too much if you got caught. Yer its annoying, but you are knowingly breaking the law.

My car dosn't meet the emmision laws (most emission controls were removed by someone) if i got told, ur cars not meeting epa standards i'd say, well shit it aint and hey i know that, so ill make it meet em.

Guest Boxhead

as much as im usually someone who whinges about cops, it should be made clear that i whinge about particular cops abusing me etc...

i think once again its a case of bad ones give the good ones a bad name, surely there is bad ones out there who which to place there fists in our anuses without using lubrication,

but there are the good ones out there, who are motoring enthusiests like ourselves

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
