lol @ the mallala defects, counted like 12 bikes, 4 patrol cars & 2 undercovers??? Drove past in a stock 1989 Charade! Didnt seem to have any hassle, alot of cars were pulled in with bonnets up though. Then on port wakefield road got pased at about 160kmph multiple times by people in cars that look like their about to blow up!

Pitty they were pinging people in the middle of no-where going to a legal raceway meet. Not very friendly if you ask me. If i didnt smash my 33 up into a million pieces it would probably be defected by now.

No no, no GReddy coil overs, just springs at the moment, im pissing them off as quick as i can now.

Basically major shit I gotta do is the BOV, the ride height, the wheels and the intercooler. the ride height will take the longest, and I reckon ill have 2-3 weeks to do it all so I think I should be fine with all the help you guys are giving me.

Police officer added "You and your mates must be really unhappy with us defecting your little drifting event, we must have got 50 cars..."

Dunno what he was talking about, but i guess hes still feeling some sort of pump from defecting a lot of imports.

that cheeky mother f**ker! what do they think they are doing with this?

Says you got Greddy coil overs in your signature. Coil overs at Regency are a big NO NO i believe.

nothing wrong with coilovers, otherwise stock skylines wouldnt be legal. the adjustability is the issue, my bilstein shocks and king springs passed regency, i just put a sleeve over the circlip grooves which allowed height adjustment.

Also dont understand about blow off valves when your allowed to have them in japan and they are the cleanest country in the world and also why are drift cars allowed to have blow off valves if it does shit to the atmosphere as i have been told also from a cop.

ehm... the funny thing about ADR's is that they only apply in australia, ADR's dont apply so much in japan.

who'da thunkit.

another funny thing, road registered cars in australia have to comply with ADR's. i know! outrageous eh?

any turbo car can have a blow off valve, as long as its a recirculating type. im going to assume you mean the atmospheric venting variety. yeah, theyre not legal. why? as ruby said, noise pollution. they also vent crankcase gasses to atmo (although, im not entirely sure if thats true), and are, therefor, disallowed by ADR's.

why can drift cars have atmo valves? because most arent road registered id say. and being un-registered, they can get away with all sorts of shit. being trailered to and from events sorta does that.

dont try to explain stuff to her...you will catch retard...

Bad luck about the defect dude, you did have illegal parts on your car and I suppose you have to wear it...the way the cop acted is unacceptable though

"you and your mates"

yeah bro because im sure one person knows everyone in Adelaide that owns an import

effheads

now that aint a bad idea Steve!

I wouldnt have a clue, but considering the media can film cops doing their biz, like locking people up at the end of pursuits; like those 2 clowns in the camry on currie St yesterday, one would think you might be able to do it

just a thought

-edit - but the media probably has exceptions somewhat...

me? sarcastic? noooooo. youve got the wrong guy pete, ive never once used sarcasm.

i thought that you could have aftermarket bov as long as it was plumbed back in the intake system.....just the like stock one

*shrug*. why wouldya? stock gtr item is good for most street applications and tend to cost less than an a/m unit.

Can any one answer this

i get pulled over and i grab my handi cam am i lawfully allowed to tape what proceeds to hopefuly get the officer to act in a professional manner

heard various things about this, some say its legal, some say it isnt. im overdue for sleep, so i cant be arsed looking it up. my opinion however is that its legal as long as the officer/s are notified. recording mp3 players would be perfect for this, its less what the cop does and more what they say thats important.

sorry to hear of your misfortune Pauly

interesting who did this for you, and they fell for that

it was just some cylinder foam, got it from clark rubber, cut it to size and slipped it over the shock body, the guy at regency was pretty cluey and thorough, he didnt have a issue with the suspension, had a laugh at cops and how they should stick to doing their job lol as it was an officer who had defected me for it saying "it was too hard".

im not 100% sure if circlip height adjustment is illegal, but i wasnt going to chance it, pretty sure its really only the thread adjustable coilovers which are the issue.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
