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.

  • 4 weeks later...

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...

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
