+ 1 for disagree, i used to get heaps of canaries when i was on my P's, come november i upgraded from gts-t to gtr and haven't seen a cop yet.. used to suck on P's though, some were such mongrels, pulling off my kick panels to have a look at my ecu, pulling my centre console area apart to "look for a electronic boost controller" ._. I'm in N.E burbs, but most of the times i got pulled over was near the city (on the way to work) or in eltham

What if you cant pull off the kick panels and other bits of interior?

I have nothing hidden behind the kickpanel but its screwed down by several screws etc.

I dont have tools on the spot to take apart the car if they ask to remove lol

As far as my understanding goes the officer don't actually need to sight any infringement. All they need is a suspicion that something isn't legal....they fill out and EPA report and its upto the EPA to check the car out. I'd imagine that you are going to be sent to Mcleod if you say that you cannot remove the kick panel.

Went past a booze bus during the week and the line was full, so the officer waving people in motioned for me to move on. Another cop on the side actually doing the testing saw my car and started pointing at my car and yelling at the other cop for letting me pass despite there being no room in the line for me. Some cops are fine whereas others purposely target skylines for the sake of it. I wasnt approaching the bus fast and my car looks almost stock on the outside (exhaust and rims).

Its cops like the dickhead doing the testing that really piss me off, cause he had no reason why I should be pulled over any other car, except for the fact I was in a skyline. Not on P's either.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
