i would just like to thank the rather kind police man(and woman)

that mannaged to pull me over tonight and yellow sticker my car just to make sure that "my car is the correct height(as it was complied @ that height), my exaust is not to loud(also complied with exaust), to make sure the pedals my car legal (once again), and to make sure my rear wing is "secure".

on the other hand i would like to say GO SOLVE SOME REAL CRIMES AND STOP WASTING YOUR TIME MAKING SURE MY CAR IS LEGAL FOR ME.

well what else can i say i was pulled over tonight for an RBT (random breath test) and the police man had a look around my car (nissan 180sx) only to come to the conclusion that my pedals we not legal he didn't like the look of my gear knob (razo) my exaust was a "little loud" for him and my wing did not look safe

when i informed him that my car came with the pedals, knob, exaust, and that the law behind wings was that it had to be within the cars length and with he suddenly took a disliking to me

walked off to his car and radio'ed another unit to come down and inspect my car (1/2 hour later) the car turns up and tells me that my "wing" could affect the areo dynamics of my car and that for there and my piece of mind i should have a yellow sticker so i can go spend more time/money making sure that my car is clearly legal so here we are slightly pissed off and 1 rather unsightly yellow sticker as a bonus i would like to just end this by saying once again

GO SOLVE SOME REAL CRIMES AND STOP WASTING YOUR TIME MAKING SURE MY CAR IS LEAGLE FOR ME.

had enough of this type of thread been lots before

get your permits and even then they can sticker you

bad luck just go to welshpool lisencing centre ask for reno and if you have permits for your mods they'll take your yellow off for free

if not get your permits and be done with it.

also the areo dynamics of the wing has nothing to do with it. its wheather or not its a safety issue particulaly the end plates.

your gear knob is illegal unless it has the h pattern on it, but most places and cops let it pass, same as the pedals.

the exhaust is on there judgement nothing u can do about it.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
