just back from the city coppers everywhere in city and on freeway

was at the lights next to a copper on his way home (personal car) so i thought best to drive sensibly along the riverside expressway with the copper just a little ahead (I had 4 drunks in the car)

I had this black 33 with lightning airbrushed all over it come up beside me, gating me trying to get me to race... he eventually took off like a shower of shit passed the copper blowing a flame prolly into 4th, cop sped up to get his plate i guess wonder if he gets a visit tomorrow

soon after i had a D car sit on my rear quarter for about 15 min doing bang on 100 they eventually got over it an sped past to annoy someone else

ill say they wer out.

i got done. $150 defect. no points

un shielded pod, bov, 4 tyres (my bad from dori dori weeks back), wheel, a pillar gauges.. despite all of that the cops wer nice bunch of blokes. at the end we even had a long chat about the force. looks to be a promising career.

PS they didnt get me for too low leakin coilover 2way diff cooler no reo no spare wheel and jack and tools.. and the 2 cops wer smart blokes.

so im gnna buy new tyres like i needed to weeks back. put the R34 GTT wheel on rewire gauges. block off bov. and make heat shield. that ontop of exams yeah easy done.

2 a pillar gauges apparently are safety issues. steering wheel is a chrome face nardi which has no padding. again an apparent safety issue. and the pod filter "has to be shileded 80%" so he said. i did argue to the point. but they wer being nice and didnt wanna make em mad. and my tyres wer bald all round sooo u couldnt see the wear indicators.. :(

meh

oh and this was at 11pm on the way home from a charity staff party. lol bad things always happens to me.

but was lucky he didnt see my rear end clunking and locking away with the 2way.

pillar guages are only a safety issue if they impair your vision. normal sized ones (boost guages, etc.) are fine. steering wheel.. bleh fair enough. Pod filter, hes full of shit. i understand why you didnt want to argue too much if you had the other parts of the car that were defectable, but i get pissed off at dumb shit cops handing out incorrect defects.

the pillar mounted pods are in the head impact area, hence a no go

fark it. as much as i love driving my 180. ive only had issues on saturday nights and this only in the last few months.

and every time it was me doing nothing wrong. i do my crap at the track i drift ther not on the street. ...its quite shit.

issue #1 cop staring me down at the lights at 1am coming home from party he said "im coming for u tomorrow morning"

#2 coming home from friends place. pulled over questioned bout some skids done up the road by some commo.

#3 went to park and got hassled by police.

#4 coming home from charity staff event. 11pm defects and they pulled me over for no reason. they RBTd me went over my car and canary'd me..

lesson is dickheads making the scene shit for us proper drivers and we recieving the wrong end of the stick.

so weekends will see me bring the liberty or the other 180sx out.

Striker: Pods were an unsafe issue for me cause they were not safety glass....

and my pod was not secure didnt say anything about being unsafe.

and as for the wheel i dont have padding on mine, but then again the stock steering wheel didnt either.

if a pillar gauges are defectable then what about all the people who mount their gps units at the same place?

and the JDM S15 has a single 3inch boost gauge on the A pillar

i dnt like pods to be honest. i find the airbox is efficent enough. on GTRs it is. but my 180sx didnt come with it..

a box will be nice but.. wher do i buy thin sheets of aluminum..? bunnings..?

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
