Get a huge sticker for rear window "NON TURBO" but I'd guess that would be like adverting you have no left nut and defeats the purpose of driving an NA line (looks fast, goes slow)...I do like the camera idea

HAHAH thats what i done. i put a sticker no the back saying 'Sorry, It, Non Turbo' and i noticed i dont get pulled over at all anymore .. it work =)

yeh bro i got pulled over, cop pulled me over and basically said im not suppose to be drivin turbo.

i wasnt speeding or anything, and i told him ' its not a turbo mate'

he goes ok.

and i could see him checkin out my car for other problems, then he full on asked me to show him bonnet so i did.

then he did a whole car roadworthy check on car, and slugged me for my front tyres being too slick.

at the time , i was getting new tyres fitted in whtihin 3 days with these new rims, and i eve noffered to show ihm rims which wer in the boot, i told him to plz not giv me a fine or canary, but he goes ' its for your protection' or sum sht and stuck this massive sticker on my car lol ( canary) . so i had to go through whole roadworthy bs at vicroads.

and optop of that, vicroads had a stuff up with my roadworthy which i got a letter saying registration was suspeneded, which i needed to sort out .

absolute waste of time, they didnt need to do that.

but i wasnt gonna complain, who knows , he might've arrested me for trying to explain to him common sense.

with the amount you are getting hassled im thinking maybe your car is known to them from a previous owner.......

I am the old owner lol.. I didn't get picked on anywhere near as much as David is saying he is.

I was only done for speeding once..

The car just attracts lots of attention because it sounds tough and looks mint! Sooo shinnnyyy

ethnic appearance???? lol

in what world would they hassle you for having an ethnic appearance :D

nah but i get hassled a bit by cops,

i was pulled over, and he asked me to show him under bonnet, so i did. and he was satisfied with that, then he started doing a check on my car , and slugged me for my front tire being a bit bald , so he defecteed me :(

but jus dont flogg it hard, when cops are around , put it in 5th and cruise if a cop is nex to you and you shudnt get hassled., even if it is a turboed.

Well, a number of things,

Ive been pulled over because they thought i was of ethnic apperance, when in fact im not tanned and i have light brown hair.

Ive been pulled over and had a mouthing to because of dark window tint whihc is 100% legal.

Ive been followed by under cover cops all the way to my mates houses and turn sirens on when i have stopped and turned the car off.

Ive had them open my door and step on the accelerater trying to prove its a turbo, when its obviously not.

ive been pulled over and had my engine bay searched.

My pod filter makes a good sucking noise, and have been questioned many times over this, but its fully sealed in a box.

But there seems to be nothing i can do to avoid being pulled over except for not driving, has any one else experienced this, or is it because i was born a ginger and have bad luck for life :bomb_ie:

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
