Yeah the Female police officer let me go, and just told me to go straight home, which was where i was going anyway.

Nah i won't report it. Cop was probably having a bad night, judging by the amount of people there. There were literally i reckon about a thousand people just hanging around Princess Highway. And driving an R34 down there would be just asking for trouble i guess.

ah that was nice of her to let you go - but doesnt really make up for the other cop to start accusing you and stuff.

Edit - *wonders what our good friend from the wasteland would do in this situation*

exactly which part of princes hwy does this street racing take place on? -> this way i can avoid those lunatics and make sure that my passengers and I (and my car) are all in one piece.

We sometimes take pricess hwy down heading to and from the city - hardly see any street racing on the nights we go out (usually fridays or saturdays)

The whole bloody thing.

From Chapel St to Dandenong.

Last night lying here in bed, i would have hear at least 20 green light grand prix's from 1am-2am, and it goes on all night.

YOu can pick the, Honda's, V8's, Supras, Skylines, Silvias... etc. After a while it becomes easy to workout what type of car, or at least motor

But im used to it and just fall asleep :(

They meet at one of my workplaces carparks.

I only recently started working friday nights at the venue and there's always 10 to 20 car's in the carpark with people standing around when I finish at midnight.

But last night after work there was about 50 cars, so I left before any trouble started.

But on the way i saw a pizza shop that was still open..

Anyway long story short I had to go back past my work where the u turn is so i could start heading home again...

There was litterally 100's of cars in the parking lot. It was chocablock, and it's a massive carpark (I prefer not to disclose the location unless asked)

I couldnt believe it cars and people everywhere, it's becomming a pain in the ass just to leave work without worring about being pulled over.

the cops these days are young punks.

I got pulled over at the end of the Eastern just as I hit Springvale Road. I sat on 100ks the whole way.

The cop was on Springvale Rd when he saw a GTR sitting at the lights waiting to get off the freeway.

The cop went psycho at me, told me he had reports from drivers along the road that I was doing at least 200ks and weaving around traffic.

I told him that is absolute bullshit, handed him my license and told him to check my history, no speeding fines.

5 minutes later he sent me on my way. What a knob !!!

good to hear some good feed back, couple family members are in the force and they have no issues with people driving cars like us or highly modified ones, they have no right to treat people like that though, these news laws give them more power for the better, but only if they use it fairly.

Should only talk like that if they catch you in the act etc.

Last Wednesday morning, I was pulled over by an undercover cop....he asked if the car was mine, done a breath test and licence check and once everything was cleared told me to have a great day :D Although, I do think females have it a lot easier than males....In the past 3 1/2 years I've had my licence, I've been pulled over twice....and gone through the booze bus once....

On Friday night on my way up to Rye there was a booze bus....two P platers in front of me (male drivers), so I was definitely expecting them to put me through...Instead, they let me pass.... :cheers: I believe if I was a male, they would've put me through for sure.....

Could not believe it on New years eve when just coincidently following a white R34 in my R32, we come round a corner in St Kilda and the cop on the Mobile RBT let us both pass by with no one in the gates then pulled in the Holden behind me !!

Thought we would be both picked for sure, although I had nothing to drink.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
