I was driving back in my Skyer from hiring the new matrix game on PS2 from the local video store when a marked copper in front of me pulled to the side, let me pass, then pulled out and followed me up the road a bit, the lights then flashed and i preceeded to pull over thinking, what the **** did i do?

The cop rocks up to my window

(R = Myself P = Young coppa)

R = whats the problem officer

P = i saw some blue lights on your car. whats the story with that

R = what blue lights? Mate the only blue lights i can see is your ****ing siren and the poofter bar down the road

The young bloke then proceeds to point out the small reflectors on my front side panel and claims theyre an aftermarket lighting kit, and its illegal and he can defect me ect ect

P = Im still convinced theres blue lights installed

R = what blue lights? Mate the only blue lights i can see is your ****ing siren and the poofter bar down the road

He then goes round the car and pushes on the reflectors and then looks in the car at the light switches trying to turn these mysterious blue lights on

He then accepts defeat on that one, so out comes the mag light again doing a full inspection of anything he can see

P = What model is this?

P = Is it turbo?

R = No

P = Does it have a blow off valve?

R = Its not turbo mate...

Then does another round of the car and notices the fog lamps on and gives me a warning about driving with them on, threatens me with a $35 fine, which i told him would be a waste of time and paper issueing me with. Then asks me for my liscence, asks if the car is complied and then asks me if ive had anything to drink and then gets me on the blower,

Seriously, they must be desperate for money and funding these days, did the gst affect the price of KFC that much?

abso****inglutely.

Plus, although the cop was an idiot you were giving him attitude. Any smarter cop would have gone over your car with a fine tooth comb and a defect pad and then you'd have whinged harder.

So bear that in mind, if you give a cop shit and you get some in return don't expect sympathy. I agree he's harrassing you and probably deserved it (except about the fog lights, he's dead right about that) but you are doing all the right things to rub a cop up the wrong way and come off a lot worse for your trouble.

Don't take it as a personal attack, I see your point of view but I've also seen how this sort of thing turns into "cops are assholes and defect me for no reason" (when I called them cops and insinuated that their mother was a whore - is the part that people never mention)

poor guy... least ya didnt get done for anything..

I was always worried about getting picked on, I had my gts-t for 2 years and was never pulled over once. Guess it was just my luck *touch wood*,

They can't pick on me no more, now driving a stock Integra Type-R, they can keep tryin to find a defect, they won't, call it rice or not but it sure can't be defected :D

I didnt give him attitude till he started just being a ****wit and trying to get me for anything, and i cant exactly describe his tone of voice, i was pretty pissed, felt like lodging a complaint but i can imagine how far that will go, no where.

He was really looking over the car before i gave him attitude, just pissed me off cause i wasnt doing anything wrong, just driving a import.

I dont exactly see XR6's or shit like that gettin pulled over and inspected to the shithouse

I did leave out the parts where he was aking me all this crap bout steering, suspension and all. he was desperate for a big find

mate of mine got defected in VIC for stock springs. Cops reasoning was cause he pulled into the driveway going a little sideways to avoid it scratching his sideskirt, thus it's too low. That means all 200sx on the road are defective from factory.... :)

Actually, I was talking to a cop about that, apparently the guideline is based on car from factory meeting ADRS, but there are lots of things that can happen, even to a stock car, to make it not comply, eg perished windscreen wipers, brake pads too low, broken/blown lights, bald tyres etc etc. pretty easy for them to catch you if they really want to.

Whats more, they don't have to be right, they just send you to RTA inspection - guilty until proven innocent.

Most likely a General Duties fella with nothing really to do.

Whether its the police or any other person, boredom normally makes for trouble.

I got breathalised the other night, i admitted to having drunk 4 beers. Asked the usual Qs like when was the 1st, last etc, etc.

The guy talking to me was cool, his partner looking at my DJ-01s on the rear pointed them out to his partner. They chuckled about the meaty nature of the rubber, then said "your right mate, change the radio station and you can be on your way"

Obviously they didnt like John Seccada "Make it through the day without you" Bunch of savages in the NSW Police Service :P

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
