funny how we're on the topic of young & imports.

Every single time I get pulled over in business attire, cops are extremely nice to me, don't question anything twice and usually just give me a RBT, but all hell breaks lose on the weekends when I'm not in work attire. I get addressed as "son" and most of the time told to step out of the car, show my engineer's certificate, etc.

What's the story here? I think it's amplified because I'm asian, and drive an import.

I once got pulled over while i was in the work driveway... they came speeding up the road, flashed lights and practically mounted the curb to stop me before I got in...

When I rolled down the window and they saw a swanky suit and expensive sunglasses hiding tired eyes that just woke up, they said I musn't be the white clubspec WRX they were looking for that was involved in an armed robbery the night before...

At least they got the colour right...

kool,im buying a suit for driving.

Do it, it works.... I usually don't get changed afterwork when I take my car out.. less trouble and headache...

Cops address you as "sir" not as "son" or "boy"....

I even get the occasional, "what's been done to it?" and I tell them what I got & that's its engineered and its all good, don't even question me twice about paper work or what not. Then again, I was probably lucky and met a decent cop, usually the minority.

Most of them, high school drop outs, no brains, power hungry, picked on at school. That's how I see cops.

Yeah i like to wear a suit out at nights too... it fits in with almost whatever your doing, impresses a lot of people, and instantly changes people perception when you step in or out of the car...

Like if i was just wearing my normall baggy jeans and a shirt, it looks like I'm out on the road for no other reason then to get sideways or smoke some rubber... but who the f**k does that in a suit? NO ONE! :) All suit wearing folk are good citizens and always abide by the laws ;)

Video is the only evidance that u can get pinned with.. or a photo too.. If you host a you tube vid ripping it up on state roads then they will nail you..

If someone reports you had been and they videod it then ur guna get reemed.. but if you didnt get videod you can be smaked for shit.

Anyways..

I dont think the rules will come into effect with such force, and if they do it wont be for a very long time.

And to the point im going to start wearing suits out.. I rather like it anways..

Dont matter its still noise polution and air polution.. sucks huh

There are different DB ratings (recorded from the curb) at different times, and are different in different zones...

Not that I would know or anything...

sooo are there any type of rules for emissions on race cars(all forms of motor racing i guess) since everyones being wussy bout pollution?

Different rules for different classes... they are actually pretty damn strict on rules...

Since when do burnouts feature high in the list of things that kill people in this country? Street racing is bad though, although personally I don't see much wrong with it up to the speed limit only. I'm open to being convinced otherwise as I haven't put that much thought into it.
Mate, Ill remind you that some comments made here are read by anybody. (I think these are your words)

As for the answer just maybe you would think that's something wrong with doing a burnout on residental street when screaching tyre noise (v8 ute) wakes you up and smoke fills my house at 1am o and my 2 kids get out of bed to ask and wonder whats wrong? I just say another idiot has nothing better to do while trying to get his number plate in order to report the kocksmoker.

As for the laws that's just politicians way of fixing things in order to satisfy public outcry nothing else, However some honest drivers like most people on this forum will get caught in the middle of it. Someone already has posted that feeling is I'm worried about just driving a skyline.

No need to remind me. I never said I actually did street race up to the speed limit, I just expressed an opinion that I didn't think it was that bad. I also think that people should be able to legally buy and use heroin and other drugs (not ice) in controlled systems but I'm certainly not interested in it myself.

Of course burnouts in suburban streets are bad. All I'm saying is that noise pollution laws are all you need to cover them, I don't think you need massive penalties like confiscating cars and sending people to prison. There are already laws about making excessive smoke, etc so as usual, the government is duplicating laws needlessly. If there is a hoon problem, it's not due to lax laws, it's lax enforcement of the current laws.

Yeah you dodgy asian with your.. umm .. dodgy dodginess. Bad asian in import must be locked up!

I'm not sure a suit at 3am will help... although wearing one seems to be a licence to rip millions from people via listed companies.

keep burnouts for your driveways... they are private property :D

I think this comes under road related area and thus is still illegal. Also, you still have the noise pollution aspect to consider.

Hmmm. I have to agree that i suffer "import paranoia" as well. Turbocharged cars do get attention (i call it sextention) and the hoon stereotype has never been more alive and kicking. I've never had any police issues (yet) because i'm NOT a hoon but i'm definite that a suspicious coppah doing an RBT won't know that a bloke like me isn't a knob driver. I'm waiting for the "step out of your vehicle, sir" speech. Just waiting...

It's unfair that most of us will become targets of, or at the least, suspicion from copparse because we drive performance cars.

I think these whitewash laws need only take effect for drivers with a record of dangerous driving. Leave the rest of us to drive around in our suits.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
