Yep me, on the way too work. He pulled me over on the way to work near the vill. I thought I was gone for good. He first got the tape measure out. the legal height for a 32 is 360mm front and rear, mine is 280mm front and rear. He gave me a warning for that and told me to fix it asap. Then he asked me to open up the bonnet, at this stage I thought I was gone for good. When I opened the bonnet, he just looked and scratched his head. He asked me if I knew much bout cars, i said nup I just drive it:) He then said has it got a blow of valve, I said what is that?? After that he just said close the bonnet Gave me a letter to show any police officer that pulls me over in future to let me go that my car is ok, And then I drove off one very happy person. When I drove off 2 p platers in vs commodores started to laugh at me when the saw me pulled over so I teased them a little bit in giving me a drag(all this time the cop was following me and the guys in the commodore did not know this) half way down the hill the commodores gave it a boot full then the copper behind me chassed them then pulled them over for speeding:) It turned out to be a good day

Thats what you call a great escape! Just imagine your car having to go through regency!

It might pay to keep your old car to swap parts off if you get defected in your new car

Good to hear that for once a cop gave a warning, rather than sticking a defect sticker on it

You get letters over there? We asked for one for a GT Wing cos they are constantly giving a defect notice for them and we are constantly being told by the inspectors they are legal - so we asked for a letter and they said no can do!! :P so fustrating!

Dumb copper??? Sounds like a top bloke, maybe he was just checking you out by asking the questions matt? If he was a dumb copper I think he wouldnt even have bothered with the tape measure, just defected you anyway:)

To give you a lisence for your mods - thats GOLD. Especially on your car:p

Where did this happen - might just have to loiter by the road until the same plod comes along to give one of them:D

well......got pulled up 120km/hr in 70 km/h zone i was honestly sich and had bad diarea and vomiting the nice copper said slow down and get home.dosnt happen often but this time no questions asked.it may be of help if ur in the shit what is wrong with trying that the only bad thing was i was really sick and vomiting

Oh yeah dude .... cowabunga for the Spillage on a Thurs night .... guaranteed fight every 5 minutes once happy hour has finished - with DJ ARMAC on the tunes (went to school with him lol).

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
