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...

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
