hey all as per topic title, can the nsw police force bring up details of previous defects for our cars in their police car computer thingy? or do they just bring up offences? i dont know someone explain it to me, the other night i got pulled over again and the copper asked me has someone issued me a warning for the exhaust being too big i said yeah i got a defect for it (although i had cleared it already) and said they have given me 14 days since last thursday to fix it, and he said thanks see you later, do i assume from this that they are unable to bring up defect records?

Police officers are not there to defect people, they are there to enforce the law and work with the community, let's just say this coppa

did the right thing and probably had other important things to worry about.

Tell that to the cops who pull me over for no apparent reason to defect me because i drive a skyline.

They tend to do that if you drives an import, it might be a junior coppa, where he/she just came out the academy still a bit hot headed and follows everything by the book.

+ I don't know what cops are like in Melbourne, they might have different discretion regarding imports.

Cops are tops!

I have no problem with the police, they're just doing they're job, and I don't get hassled much...

It's the laws I have a problem with... Half of them are like they're written by a work experience kid...

my bro is a cop and i asked him this same question the other day

the deffects stay on the system for up to 2 months i think he said and they will only remain on the system if they are real serious defects

Ahhh... good to know :down:

If it's alright with your brother, I may have some other questions for him too later on, I'm having trouble finding actual wording of certain laws...

What area of law enforcement does he work in?

I just don't understand why people keep complaining about getting pulled over for nothing.

I've had over 15 cars with 90% of them turbos.

3 of them skylines.

a 200sx.

2 Liberty RS Turbo's with exhaust louder than most skylines can ever muster up.

Never ONCE have I been pulled over for anything other than RBT.

NSW or QLD.

Never.

they don't do it for no reason.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
