yeah the cops just pic a car they wont and see if they can find anything wrong with it. i no when i had my GSR lancer with evo3 kit on it i used to get pulled over all the time cause it stood out and in my skyline i havent been pulled over yet and i drive that alot harder. I reckon its cause it looks stock no bodykit only mags.

hmmm. i got pulled over at a "defect" set up on clarence street i think it was in belerieve.

ive got a r31 rb30e+t, the car was wearing bald front tires at the time (got three punctures in my good ones so chucked some spares on :laugh:) car has a woodstock "catch" can.

they pulled me over, checked my back tires, didnt check under the hood (i had a dash mounted boost gauge so i thought they might have put the puzzle together) and then gave me a defect notice for having a headlight out, just the headlight not the parker, didnt check my front tires or anything else at all.

replaced the headlight, wiring was screwed so i twisted the parker wire together to the headlight wire and bing! no more defect... altough im sure its now heaops dodgier than having 3 lights at the front of your car insted of 4... they only gave me 72 hours to fix my headlight wiring :D

i have noticed quite often lately ive been pulled over alot, i dont mind tho, id like to think that if my car was stolen a cop would pull the crim over thinking it was me (hoon) and licence+bretho check so i could use that licence number they got to find who pinched ma car!!

as for your run in with the bov atmo being illegal, should have asked what legislation that reffers to and also what the lmax legal DB reading is and how they were measuring it, sure they would have done you over but its not liek they could have gotten you for hooning if your parked?? lol

is a trucks atmo bov illegal?? what about there hydro brakes when they pull up at the lights?? its basically the same sound

Trucks dont run blow off valves, they dont have throttle plates or even vacuum for that matter. Engine speed all controlled by fuel delivery...

so how does the air get into the cylinders in N/A trucks? vacuum generated by the pistons moving of course

the truck i drive is a v8 turbo diesel and that has got a wastegate on it and thats fairly loud. get pulled over all the time from transport in it. they pull all company trucks now trying to find anything wrong with them, even when they are brand new idiots.

Of course its got a wastegate, its not going to just freeboost is it.

I'm glad they pull trucks all the time. They're pretty f**king dangerous things to drivers and other motorists when not in tip top mechanical nick.

Yes there is vacuum generated on the intake stroke only, but there is no manifold vacuum since there is no throttle. Hence the reason for the use of vaccum pumps on smaller diesels with vacuum assisted brakes.

and how often does the intake stroke occur?

and the only reason for the vacuum pumps is becuase the vacuum that is generated by the engine isn't enough to run brakes powerful enough to stop the truck/

Most trucks use air operated brakes, climb back in your hole wombat.

I was making a point that trucks dont use blow off valves because they dont have a throttle plate, what happens when you open the throttle completely on an aspirated engine?? Manifold vacuum disappears.

Thanks for the education though, ill keep it all in mind. As Wogboy said, once you create a restriction the vacuum is huge.

Getting back on topic now....

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
