I'm kinda in 2 minds about the events of that night.

A. yes it's a bit disappointing that so many got yellows but hey we all know the rules. A bit over the top to bust so many thou.

B. I can fully understand why the police chose to that that action. Those burntouts right in front of the cops was stupid, dangerous and showed a real disreguard for the law.

When i was waiting in line to get out the first copper comes up, how you doing, love your number plates. Sort of broke the ice a bit i guess and we started chattin. He asks if i have any permits,

so i hand over that and he goes through the list.

Pods check, Gauges check, BOV check, Half Cage check, etc etc. Anything for the wheels (19 x 10.5) 285 all round.

No don't have permit for those.

ANyways we keep chattin and the vehicle inspector arrives. The copper i been talkin too tells him all sweet here, he's got permits.

What about them oversize wheels.

Yep no problem.

So basically the copper lied to the inspector and i got out no worries. Didn't even have to pop the hood.

Maybe it's because i'm a bit older (mid 30s) or because i treated the guy with a bit of respect i don't know but these guys probably would have preferred being somewhere else not there booking kids in the cars. Some desk jockey that wasn't even there would have made the call to yellow everything. Some skyline driver is probably tappin his daughter or wife and wanted pay back lol.

Anyways in my opinion its all part of the game. The good guys Vs the bad guys. I get a rush everytime a see a cop car, whether i'm doing something wrong or not. Will this be the time they pull me over and yellow me. All fun. If you can't afford to unmod your car to clear a yellow, don't mod it in the first place i say. It's a pain in the ass yeh but them the rules. From reading what goes on in the eastern states with regards to mobile epa and noise i think we are quite lucky in WA.

Would be interesting to know the reaction from the police if that car park had 500 harley davidsons and 1000 outlaw bikers there doing burnouts rather than 500 modified cars and 1000 kids.

I doubt any yellows would have been handed out for fear of starting a riot.

So the last thing i wanna say is don't blame to police, if you want to drive a modded car without getting hassled, go to uni, study politics, become premier and change the laws. You got my vote already.

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
