Yeah i must say it seems the police are more lenient nowadays.

I live in the western suburbs (St.Albans) And i used to drive my R33 showcar around all the time with no hassles , and it was bright pink on 20's.

Aswell as my R32 GTR and only twice got pulled over in the city for license check and RBT. And thats doing over 500km's a week all over town for 2 years.

I guess if your not doing anything wrong, and treat the officer politley as i did, you should be fine.

hmm i been lucky, only been pulled over twice in a year (and drive daily)...

I've only been pulled over twice in five years or so, once for turning right at a No Right Turn and once for being a little too fast in an overtaking lane. I don't exactly drive inconspicuous cars either. If you have a good record and drive normally cops generally target cars which have or are more likely to commit an offense to pursue and won't harass you. Most people you hear complaining bring it on themselves.

its true that the police have been more lenient ( if that how u spell it =s ) around the area, not sure about other suburbs but i know springvale is much nicer.

but u still get those evil looks from those orange highway patrol cars which i know is scary if they notive you. cause u see them all the time handing out defects.

yes i have to agree they have become more leniant lately my area is full of comodores that love doing all they were built for (burnouts) 2 nights ago saw someone get pulled over going sideways in the wet and got let off not sure why but i have been hearing alot of stories about police being more understanding i thing this aproach is working rather than being complete ass's to thoes of us that actually respect the road rules and drive properly on our roads.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      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.

      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!
