Hi everyone! I'm a newbie so help me out please :no:

I live in Gold Coast Queensland......

Can someone suggest me in how I go about this.....(this might be long to read)

couple of days ago I was pulled over buy police officer who claimed that my tail light was painted!!!!!!!

All the R32 4doors have dark tail light and so thats what I told him but he said that its definately painted!!!!!!! :)

I went to Queensland transport to ask them to prove that its stock tail light but they couldn't help me.... (no-ones a skyline specialist there....)

I went to a Nissan dealership..... They said they can't check if its stock since they don't have one in hand to compare....

I am planning to go to a import car dealer to see if they could ( but not much hopes there....)

I can only think of skyline compliance place that might be able to help me out but duno where there is one near the Gold Coast.

The police that pulled me over has had an eye on me for a while now so I noe if I just paid the fines he will try the same thing again and I need my points!!!

pleeeeeeeaseeeeee someone help me in other ideas and skyline compliance place!!

:)

go to a wreakers and see if they have a taily off the same car as u and if they r both the same, buy it and take action against the ticket.

or bring it with u wen u contest the ticket and scratch it and show them no paint comes off.my four door 33 has painted tail lights but they are painted the same colour as the car and the actual lights are not blackened or tinted. all i can say is if it was me and i was sure that i didnt paint them and he didnt believe me i wuda got out my keys and scrapped the lights to show no paint peeling off, wud need a new tail light but at least no points lost and prob cheaper than fine.depends if the lights look darker than stock wen on at night.

maybe u need brighter light bulbs and if the coppers on the watch out for u, invest in some new lights

Thanx MUD! neva seen dat before :3some:

but I duno if he will buy that since its on youtube.... will give it a try!!

Hi long33.... the policeman didn't let me out of a car since it was on the busy street but maybe I should bring it to him now and scrape a bit of tail to show him huh??? good idea!

Anybody know a compliance centre for skyline near gold coast or brisbane???

Hi 53XYN! thanx heaps..... hope they can help me out coz RACQ didnt since Im not their member ;)

Apparently the break lights are not the issue... its the whole tail been dark... so he says its tinted or painted. I wish they knew about cars before they can give us tickets.

I'll ring them tmrw! thank you!!!

Hi Benno-... tails got cracks and not that new anyhow... so I thought it might be ok.

its the last result.....i guess

but the thing is its not only to get away from the fine. Paying fine is alright but the police are gona give me ticket for it again and again unless I can prove it now and keep that on record.

Why dont you get another person with a 4 door 32 or other people with 32s and take them to the cop station with you? Its a bit annoying for you i guess, as all of them are definately like that, i'd certainly be annoyed and wouldnt want to cop the fine for no reason!

Hi BoostdR32!

I don't know any other R32 4 doors...... its abit of a problem trying to get them to come to police station with me unless they are stock 4 door.

I thought of buying an old catalogue NISSAN had it out when the R32s came out.

I saw few of them in yahoo auction. They have to know that its stock if its in Nissan catalogue I think......

To Clear it as if it was a defect you can take it to a qualified complinace workshop and get a letter stating that the lights are factory standard items .. also give a few places like autoterminal , www.nismo.com.au a go they might even pop a letter in a fax for u ..

NISMO is a good idea!!! I neva thought of that! They are in NSW though aren't they.....

Might as well give it a try!

Thanx johnbarry88! I love my little baby too! most of the police knows jack shit about cars....

That guy could've written tickets for more worse stuff... but hey! Wat can I do when they donno shit but to prove them wrong!

hey there, ill help u out if u need it.. i have a 4door 32 :thumbsup: i think i seen your near ashmore aswell i parked bihind u for liek 5 mins.. urs looks nice eh.. i was workin at AH motors behind archers with my car a while back..Im in at helensvale btw :nyaanyaa: 0401 401 949 if u need help ay :ninja: BTW a hint.. i drive around with my lights on 24/7 looks brighter and yer.. so i can avoid the silly cops thinking my lights are tinted...plus it looks better :P lol @ cops :(

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
