Yea, flamin mongrel is quick. hehe

As for the car, senior officer gave him one month to take off all the mods and bring the car back to willy cop shop for an inspection. He didnt want to give him one week as it woukld be almost impossible to fix up in 5 days. Poor flamin mongrel haha, maybe when its stock il be able to give him a better run :blink: I was tripping out, this coppa new these cars inside out. lol

mustve been a nice cop to pretty much "let him off" in the way of no defect/epa and just make him come back to the cop shop and show him the car again.

still a hassle though taking everything off and making it standard.

What about the mods made them illegal? On p's or just not done with EPA in mind etc? I've always wondered this. If p's are gone. N u enclose your pod n do everything proper. They've got nothing to get u on. Or am I mistaken? Sumone fill me in. LOL.

last night saw a white r34gt at fountain gate driving around near magid drive and also a dark colour r32 with sau stickers at fountain gate maccas. gave it a little bit as they were leaving the car park lol.

lol

mite be my dark coloured r32.

ye thats it, just dont line him up. :blink:

I was actually referring to what he got defected for, normally they pick those obvious ones so you have to get a full rwc anyway, he sort of got off light but if this cop knows his stuff it might not be as easy as he thinks, clever move by the cop as well, this way he has to take it back to a cop that knows what he is looking for as opposed to some nufty vic roads worked who will just check what is on the bit of paper.

I believe enclosing the pod does not matter here in vic, you have to run a factory air box if you have a fmic.

Looking at that car though, im guessing he has an atmo bov, pod + intercooler, adjustable boost controller (not allowed to have that at all), probably a full 3.5" very loud exhaust, too low, non padded steering wheel, no charcoal canister and a host of other things.

tmu cops have always bragged that they can defect a car the minute you drive it out of a show room so if they really want to do you (having no water in your washer bottle will get you a defect) they will find some little thing.

Wow. After reading that list of mods etc. Now I understand. Lol. U can still get some serious power if you use your head a bit though. Internals, ecu ( no hand controller) boost controller in ecu or get stealth looking one, high flow exhaust doesn't have to rattle windows.

However, who said you had to sensible wen if comes to nodding. I think tgats half the fun. To a point...

spotted a silver R34 on bourke st last night in the city, i think it was a GTR, but not sure, coz i was half way to passing out on the party bus :blink:

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
