so i got pulled over at 0430 on my way to work for a defect check that made me about 30mins late. which is ok cause my boss is into cars so he understands but holy crap the copper, either first day out of a traffic school or he had little knowlege of cars.

i only run a stocko R32 there is nothing special about it so he must have just recognised the tail lights of something anyway, long story short.

Cop: has this got a turbo?

Me: yes?

Cop: may i see it please?

me: ummm yeah sure its behind that sheild there

Cop: step aside mate i just want to have a look at it

me: umm

30 secs later the copper was asking me if i had any cold water in the car to put on his hand after he attempted to become one with the front pipe. needless to say that was the end of the inspection but i felt bad the fella haha.

got me thinking there must be pretty funny stories going around i would love to hear em!

    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
    • you, sir, are a prince. good on ya.   
    • You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.
