Speaking to a friend last night who owns 2 imports, was out cruising friday night with another club and out of all the cars, a 32 got pulled over and checked over for stolen parts. She said the cop specifically stated they were checking skylines for stolen parts .

Now my friend isnt one to lie, so i believe her 100% here, anyone else heard anything like this?

yeah true but isnt necessarily a bad thing tho, means they are possible trying to do something about all the thefts lately.. dunno, just put it up cos i was curious.

well Kellie (bunny) was telling me how she got pulled over and the cop took down a full description of her, tattoos, height etc. Never heard of em doing that before.

thats nuts... but how would they know if someone has "stolen parts"? BOV's, intercoolers, air filter... they dont have serial numbers or anything that someone can say that it was stolen??

sounds a little dodgy...

yeah dunno, just what i was told. I said the same thing bout how would they know whats stolen, guess its just their excuse to pick on us more. Although he wasnt defected, they looked over his car, questioned him and let him go. Maybe they more so checking the car itself? Not the parts.

Would be nice if there was something they could do about all the thefts though..

i hear about these thefts every now and then... are there people specifically finding Skylines and pinching them or they pinching any import?? Are they jacking them too?

yeah as i told flick the cops reason for pulling me over was because it's a skyline and i said i didnt even see you (i was driving normal for a change lol ) and she said that she was going in the other direction and thought she would pull me over now i have 9 tattoos and she wrote down in her book every single one and where they were on me, also my eye colour and she wouldnt take my word for it so i had to show her dont know how she could see in the bright sun light anyway, she also asked how much i weigh as well now i live next to a cop and asked her to check my info on their data base and see what she wrote and my whole god dam description is on their data base my neighbour said maybe she did this so if a chick steals my car and uses my name they would know that my car is stolen by this person but i dont think so i was standing on the side of cross roads doing all this shit for 20 min in the heat and she didnt really even look at my car she just asked what size my wheels were, mind you right near my sons school and the parents dont like me very much because of my car cause they are mostly all rich and have bmw or what ever so it also made things worse cause a parent saw me with her on the side of the road and asked me what i was doing with the police so yeah it was a great day

damn kellie!

uve bet me by one tat!!! i might have to do something about that LOL

no good to hear.............its very weird tho that a cop is doing that...........

wtf? whats next honestly? if this is true this is ridiculous, any excuse to pull over an import to try and defect

well i know of this 32 that got pulled over, could very easily have been defected if the cops wanted to.

So i think this is one of the ways of them cracking down on thefts, hey if it manages to save one skyline and and put the thiefs in jail im happy for them to do it.

And i think of them looking for parts it might be more obvious parts, maybe like vented bonnets, rims, race seats, steering wheels etc.

But were all guessing at the moment really, i just hope they are doing it for the right reasons, which going on what happened with this 32 it seems they are.

well it will be by 2 cause my mate kelly is tattooing me in a few weeks for my birthday and he designed it. what got me is that she really didnt give 2 you know whats about my car mean while i have no cat no mid muffler its to low and i have race tape and a boost gauge on my a pillar

You drive a white r33 with some pink stickers? if so i saw you on the side of the road with the copa

This is good news to me, but I kinda doubt they got all the cops together and said 'lets check skylines for stolen parts' prolly more like 'lets check suspicious cars for stolen parts' and skylines are a suspicious car.

They would only target skylines if there was a reported car around with stolen stuff that night otherwise how would they know if parts are stolen?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
