Sorry off topic I know

But I have a question if someone can answer it for me.

Im from Queensland and I have a highly moded R33 up there and I was thinking of bringing it down to sa. But I have seen the cops pull over that many cars its not funny. My question is how bad are the cops down here for defects ?

Ive been pulled over many a time.. but I never got the car defected. Had warnings etc though. Luke was driving it, 1 week after I got it, and we were pulled over and defected. I tried to reason with the cop, saying it was my car but nup.. Said only had it a week, was exactly how i bought it, but nup.

Got pulled over twice in like 4 days not long ago. First one was nice, said he was a rev head and such, gave me warning bout my plates. 2nd said my car was nice, seen it around, did a breath test n let me go.

Got my lancer defected - pleaded innocent, acted like a total dumb ass, put on the tears.. but that didnt work.

2nd defect, on the line.. went ballistic.. called the cop a wanker, slammed the door, walked off, nup that tactic didnt work either lol

yeah that way doesn't usually end in your favour :laugh:

I've only ever had 2 defects, both cop shops. One was my old KE55, just bought some rims off a mate and he had been doing skids in his shed on them, so the rear tyres were cactus. Had tyres lined up the next day and got pulled over on my way to the shop :D

Second was my Sprinter, done for hand brake not locking on and no horn button :) not a bad result I thought, seeing as the copper missed the 4AG conversion, cable ties everywhere, no carpet/sound deadening/rear trim :P

Only ever been defected twice for BS things:

First time, a few years ago with my SR20 powered, supercharged Datsun 200B. I had an Engineers Report to prove the legality of the car, but 'no' the two traffic cops wanted to defect me regardless. They only ended up getting me for tyres, which had no less than 80% tread, but they claimed the rubber was scrubbing the radius rod. BS! Went straight to the cop shop and had it taken off and dismissed without any charges or fees. :)

Second one, 2 years ago a traffic cop defected my Suzuki TLR motorbike for indicators less than 24cm apart (they were actually 32cm apart!). I argued with this prick for 10 minutes. Ended up going to Regency (for indicators!) and even the inspector thought the cop was a knob. Removed the defect ... again without any charge or fees.

It was funny considering I have a full Yoshimure race system on the bike and its loud as hell, and many other mods he could have gotten me for. But he had no clue and could only get me for indicators! :) Even then he made that up.

Oh, and I get pulled over all the time on the motorbikes! Comes with the territory I guess ... being an outlaw on wheels :)

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
