i love the old cars... I have a 1970 mini cooper s race car... its lowered off its nut, de-dumpered, big ass engine with exposed filters, catch cans, huge barrely muffled exhaust, 6 point race harness and race seat....

they leave me the hell alone... I love it... Only time i get pulled over is for old cops to tell me that they used to drive them in the HWY patrol. hahaha

My skyline, dont get hassled to much, but i'm real careful... and we have the highway patrol located about 1km from my house :down:

Sunday afternoons are usually the most relaxed day to go for a drive into the foreshore. Yeah there is a few police here and there, but its nothing like what Thursday nights have turned into. I've only been pulled over for a couple of RBTs around Newcastle, and they are always nice to me... but only because they all comment and say, oh your lucky getting to drive your bf's car! :S how rude. lol. my car is pretty legal, so i'm not too worried anyhow.

I don't know what I do wrong?

I've owned two S13s, and I currently own a modified E30 323i...

Yet I never seem to get pulled over.

With the exception of RBTs (for which I often get waved through), I have only ever been pulled over once in my old Onevia. It was low, had an aftermarket bodykit, very loud exhaust, no back seats etc. Did I mention I'm a P-plater? The car could easily have been turbo but I've never been asked to pop the bonnet.

It was about 1am in the morning and I got pulled over a couple of streets away from my house. The officers were polite to me, checked my car wasn't stolen (awesome, I wish they would do that more often), breath tested me, and then sent me on my way.

The only real negative experience I have had with HWP was when I was returning from the Central Coast the other day. I had no P-plates on as they always blow off when you are on the freeway. I get one street away from my house, and get pulled into an RBT. The HWP officer was a bit rude, I explained why I didn't have P-plates, he didn't say anything, took my licence and came back with the fine. But fair enough, he was right to book me.

Even my mates in the force say that most normal police hate HWP...

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
