Yes thats rite me. On the way home from work 02/05/03 Wasent doing anything wrong. I wnt past a cop who was parked on the side of the road. She heard a pshhh sound and thought she would pull me over. First question she asked was, do a have a blow off valve. I said yes. Then she said that ALL blow off valvues are illigal. I then said that mine is standard it cam that way from the factory. She then said that NO nissan skyline from the factory cam with a blow off valve:confused: :confused: I said that it is louder because of the air filter, she said the airfilter had nothing to do wit it. She rang a police mechanic who said some blow off valves are ok but she could not tell him what mine is like. I asked to talk to the guy but she said I couldnt. I asked her to tell the guy that my blow off valve vents back into the manifold and not into the atmosphere like the illigal ones but she still said no. At this stage I am taking my car down to the Holden Hill police station 2morrow at 3pm when she said that the mechanic can look at the blow of valve is legal or not. I am not taking the risk that they will not find anything else when the find that they have made a mistake, I have taken off the turbo timer, boost guage airpod and replaced it with the box, changed the steering wheel and I am going to do the spings as well. I hope they have Egg in there faces when They see they have made a mistake

ANYONE who wantes to just be in the area of the holden hill cop shop at say around 3 would be good

Thanks Matt.

No worries mate, I will do a huge burnout out the front as a decoy

so they let you go & try & catch me -- haha.Good luck if I'm in the race car!!! Seriously though it's a joke.there was probably at least 2 cars that went by while you were on the side of the road with excessive smoke/rust etc but they want to hassle you with your extremly well maintained & good looking car.

I went for a cruise with Nate in the EVO & was unintentionally involved with a whole group of very naughty blow off valve equipped jap cars who liked to hear lots of psshhtt sounds all the way down West tce & beyond.We were of course very well behaved(not) & proceeded to race most of the way to Semaphore.Of course the well behaved drivers at the front got pulled over on the esplanade & had to explain to the nice policemen that it wasn't our fault our cars were so fast & we would join AA(Accelerators Anonymous) first thing in the morning, & promised to keep any phhfft noises to a bare minimum in the future( in other words within 100m of taking off) & would obey all reasonable road traffic laws to the best of our ability.

I would also like to add that as designated driver Nate did a fantastic job of handing out a big can of whoop-ass to a couple of WRXs & other assorted machines that dared to pull up next to him & was very polite to the coppers who were impressed with the car & let us go with a smile & a wave.Murphys law - if I was driving he probably would have had to bail me out the next morning - but then again - you needn't take a gun to a knife fight!

Knives in gunfights are great munro... most people dont know how 2 use a gun..

It's amazing at the arrogancy of cops. Erica got the same deal. She got reamed by this fat bitch of a cop who wouldn't listen to a word she said becuase of the chance hte cop might have been proven wrong.

Sorry 2 hear about your misfortune with the cop's being ****wits MattR. Go shove that defect in their face.

A mate of mine who drives an MX6 Turbo was pulled over one night by a cop. The cop went over the car making comments like "ooh, no AFM, what computer are you running?" and "that catch can is illegal", "nice dump pipe" and things like that. He seemed to really know his stuff. He even did a line-of-sight test on the pillar-mounted guages (they passed), rather than just looking at them and slapping a defect.

My friend ended up having a bit of a chat to the cop who apparently is into hipo cars himself and is a regular at the drags and drove away with a list of things to fix - atmo BOV, catch can and the exhaust being too loud - but did not defect him for anything. No fine, no points, no conviction.

Legend.

Defect has gone. I even got an appology from A police officer. Should have asked for it in writing. Bought my new car today as well.

Goss dude, we all need it! What happened exactly with the defect? And tell us all about the new car - prefer a couple of pics too if you have em,

C'mon, give us the good oil!

hehe very impressive numbers from Matt's new toy indeed! But yes, I agree with Paul, it's got traction issues written all over it :) .... something to do with 308 REAR WHEEL KILOWATTS in a 1,240kg car .... OMFG!!!

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
