driving without a gearknob COULD be dangerous and there is no proof as to how many days you were driving without one and when you were getting a new one...

that's not in question however, what the issue here is the fact that they gave you a sticker for things you've already had inspected a few days beforehand and that's all on the paperwork you can provide...

if you take it to the pits and have the same guys inspect it they're going to think those officers were just arseholes, fight it man... just wait on your response...

also depends how many days you have leftover on your sticker, the last one i had i only had 8 days to rectify all my problems and i only JUST got it ready...

let us know what happens dude but i'm sure you would anyway

Im gonna have to go ahead and say that your not gonna get off.

Yes you did just get it inspected, but by driving while your car was unroadworthy (missing gearknob) you had to know that you'd get another canary if you were pulled over. I think its purely bad luck on your part.

Granted the fact that the new sticker contains things covered in the original one seems stupid, but the missing gear knob is a legitimate reason for a yellow.

Im not saying that its illigitimate, however it is not right.

The law is suppose to represent right and wrong (people often forget that) and this simply does not

I agree dude seriously, im in a similar situation.

Driving my car around with two quite bald tyres as i bought it like that. I have an appointment to get new tyres tomorrow arvo but if i get pulled over in the morning tomorrow I'll no doubt get a sticker.

The timing of when you got pulled over sucks but thems the breaks.

Don't listen to them!

Fight it all the way~ !!

F*cking cops.

If it was me, i would be doing the same as you.

Whether it was legitament to give you a yellow sticker for a gear knob is not really the question.

Its the fact that he just took of his yellow a few days ago! You would of thought they would of given him a break and just let him go. Especially in light he had his car broken into... which i would assume he filed a police report, so he would have proof there.

Some people are just real assh*les.

Anyway, i better start studying for my last exam for my BACHELOR DEGREE!! which is @ 1pm today.

ahhhhh.

f**king hope you win this over dude ...

f**king useless cops in Perth now-days hassling everyone on the road when real crimes (burgulary, violent acts etc) are happening everyday and there isnt a cop in sight.

Ive only ever had 1 yellow sticker from the cops ... but am hassled all the time... my yellow was for an OIL LEAK on my THERMOSTAT !!!

i attempted to explain that only red coolent goes through the thermostat.. and that the oil leak was infact dirt... INSTANT yellow sticker...

Good luck , and dont give up , cops need to learn to lay the f**k off us enthusiests

And while they seem to be bussy another one of my friends got a brick through his car windows just for shitz and giggles... his car was in murdoch at the time...

murdoch???

wth, i thought that place was safe.....!!

O sh!t

lol dude, give the Police Force a break, they divide into different units and i'm sure you know that, generally only Traffic Officers pull over cars unless you do something super stupid (for example, i have posted a thread up here once before, i got pulled over by TRG in their 4WD for doing 50km/h+) and there was nothing they could've done about it and they let me off... i gave a pretty good reason though...

anyway, what i'm saying is that if all the Police Officers were out catching robbers and stuff there would be none that would catch and yellow sticker 'hoons' and rightfully so ie. guys that do burnouts in suburban streets etc. and vice versa...

anyway, dude... fight it and see how you go, worth a shot man and you've got nothing to lose

P.S: i thought Murdoch was safe lol

If it all doesnt work out, wait till you have scrathes or something you need fixing at the front of ya car, sit up a coppers ass, wait till he brakes, then drive right into him... nothing better than seeing a cop car all ding'd up... and even better, they will have to pay for the damage...

Just an idea! :P

No.. you would pay the damage.

No.. you would pay the damage.

hahaha thats right.

It needs to be the other way round.

Have the cop go up ur rear end of the car and he will have to pay :P

No, they'll do you for dangerous driving for braking heavily and you'll still have to pay.

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
