Yesterday on the way to glenelg i was pulled over by a cop on a bike on his way to the defect sation down at mosley square. Apparantly he pulled me over because i accelerated to hard a few streets down and said he would take my license away, then said he would make a deal with me. If he could defect me he wouldnt take it away he was a real asshole some big guy with glasses and kept saying 'bro' alot. You guys prob know him cause ye lots of skylines get pulled over at glenelg.

anyway my rear was 20 mm to low and i have to go to regency.. what a ball breaker just thought i'd share that with ya. cause they saw the Ps and a skyline to much attention the car pulls.

p.s when i was pulled over a nice black GTR r33 boosted past anyone here??

oh and on the way back to my car later that day he pulled over a brand new ferrari....

nope if it is a Regency defect you are screwed - take the car back to completely standard and they will still find worn bushes, imperfect tyres, dirty brake fluid, minor fluid leaks at the back of the trans/engine etc etc .... sorry man you are royally screwed.

However I thought they had to find 3 things in order for it to be a Regency defect - otherwise like scandy said you should be able to get it cleared by a local cop shop

my business got broken into on friday night

took like $150 worth of drugs..but the total damage was well over $4000

instead of cruising along anzac hwy looking for cars to defect (no not stolen cars)

they should send more patrol around and make good use of tax payers money...F*#&*@#)$#*@#@

:P

yep I can't agree more Andy .... not to mention the amount of bald-tyre rust-buckets driving around that shouldn't be on the road - yet they pick on our meticulously maintained machines for minor issues that really have no negative bearing on roadworthiness in the real world (lower centre of gravity actually = safer driving and more control).

Welcome to the club :P

Yes i agree with stripping it back to std and im going to make sure ive gotten under and checked every bush in my car myself.

They dont have to find 3 things, its 1. The copper that defected me showed me his book with each item showing where they have to send u to clear each defect (so he knows how to fill out the damn form more like)

Suspension (too low as i got done) is a VIS -Regency only.

edit/ if it was me id be filling out a complaint (ask cop for his badge number and name) as he sounds like he was being a prick. The guy who defected me was ok, so i dont have a problem...

thats bullshit. sadly it'll never end.

i dont mind if its a justified reason for a defect, fine etc. its just the bullshit ones. My R31 got defected for no water in the window washer bottle. yet he didn't realise the rb25det centimetres away....you hear some wierd stories out there...most cops are reasonable if you share their view, its the other ones who have nothing better to do.

this is the reason why i didn't get a performance car =) i was so excited on getting a r31 gtsr that when i started to hear all these stories and all my mates starting to get defecting and shit i thought a P plater like me would get ripped apart out there! so i'm gonna settle with a nice simple mazda 323 sometime this week maybe! so yeah i chose to get a car i can get around in without cops eye balling me! what scared me the most was when i was on regency road ibehind a really f**ked up van! i mean it had rust everywhere and the body was all dented and stuff! a riced up rex was next to it and then a cop turned onto the road and he was next to me and he was talking on his radio! he then flashed his lights and pulled the rex over! i don't know what happened after that but i have a pretty good idea and yeah that freaked me out and stopped me from getting the r31!

If you gun it at any rate in front of a cop, they can pull yo over, and do you for hooning.

Hooning if you look on SAPOL is like an instant towaway of your vehicle and 2500 on spot fine max. So gunning it around or in the vacinity of cop patrolling areas is risky, as we have rb20s and rb25s its not that hard to hear us scream.

EDIT: Oh and you RB26ers :happy:

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
