Last friday i went through a booze bus, then as im about to drive off a smartass cop tells me to pull over up ahead. He then tells me i can't drive my car because its too powerful mind you its a R34 25gt N/A and im on my green p's.

Another cop comes to my window who wasnt a smartass and explains it all to me and i told them about 100000 times that it isnt too powerful, but cops being cops didnt listen and gave me a $220 fine and lost 3 demerit points, the cop said I have to get some info from nissan or put it on a dyno to show its within the power weight restrictions.

So last saturday morning I woke up, went to about 5 automotive places to try find someone whos got a dyno. Finally found one, pulled 100KW and is way within the power:weight ratio, so now I just have to send the dyno sheet and fine to the cops to squash the fine and get my points back.

That night i went to a party in footscray, about 200 people turned up and it ended up finishing early because all the neighbours called the cops. As I was leaving a cop signaled for me to pull over, i stopped pretty close to him coz i hate slamming on my brakes and jolting. He smashed my bonnet and said "I TOLD YOU TO F**KING STOP" then he came over to my window and put his hand around my throat and said "NEXT TIME I SAY STOP YOU F**KEN STOP", im like alright dude can you stop choking me now...

I've never seen so many cops around and had so much to do with them before, except for a few times for drinkin in public... one of them on friday was a real f*ckwit about my car being too powerful... he was some idiot from caroline springs TMU. I saw another skyline drive past that got waved through coz the cars were banked up going through the booze bus.... lucky bastard

wtf isnt that assault?

They have no right to grab at your throat like that.... :(

Bad luck 14...

I've been using my nissan as a daily for 4+ years now and never been pulled over or hassled.

I get pulled over in my cruiser every so often but it's generally so they can waste my time while I listen to them talk crap.

Speed camera fines aside I've nothing to complain about...actually I can't really complain about that either.

If I were you 14 i'd lay some complaints re: treatment and officer knowledge/training.

The officer had no right to grab your throat...time to stick it to the man, got bruising/witness?

thats exactly what i was thinking.....and isnt slamming on the bonnet classified as damage to private property?

last time a cop stopped me, i let him do the talking, i got out, poo'ed on the bonnet of his cop car, and peed on his face while poo'ing on his bonnet, did a :( dance, jumped off his bonnet, landed and kicked him in the ding ding and then went on my merry way

havent been stopped since.......

the guy grabbing your throat is pretty hardcore man. are you sure things happened like that? are we missing something here?

yeh man, not to sound like i'm callin u a liar or anything, but the "cop grabbin u by the throat" business is a pretty daring call! Especially if you say that all u did was stop when u were told to...

It's BS that cops can physically abuse people like that without justified cause for such aggression, even though i know it does happen. Could you have done/said anything that might have provoked him, without you realising?

sure you weren't wearing your favourite "fuck tha police" t-shirt on the day? grabbing you by the throat is a bit harsh, and if you were smart you'd have got his badge number or name. Either way, call the local police dept (to the place where the party was), and report the incident.

though if the officer went straight to the window to grab his neck

I doubt (1337) would of thought to look at his badge after such a incident.

was mostly like shocked by that situation.

if you are ok with cop attention keep the skyline

if you arent - sell it - expect a lot of attention - its an import and a known hoons car so youll get lots of attention, even though its an N/A

100% agree. I got pulled over the other night. Marked police car doing speed check. Looks at me, puts radar gun down and drives behind me. Tells me that he knows I wasn't doing anything wrong however his response was "I only pulled you over because you drive a skyline". He took photos of the engine bay and told me to expect a letter from epa. Which I did yesterday morning.

Such is life.

I have been pulled over by cops many times, sometimes justified sometimes not. Latley though it took the cake, they followed me for about 1.5km, so I decided to wait on the a red arrow, hoping the long line of cars would make them loose intrest. When the arrow when green about 10 cars got through, but I didn't, this time I was 3rd in the line with the cops still waiting behind me. Next green arrow I got through, again about 10 cars got through, but the cops pulled me over, expected, but what was unexpected was they charged me for going through a yellow arrow. It was definatly still green when I was halfway throught the intersection, I am 100% about that. I argued, but he just said, take it to the courts. I don't have time for the courts and I doubt I could defend myself against them anyway even if I did. If I take it on the chin it will be the second time I have to and I only have 3 points left. Such is life :(

But in your case grabbing you by the throat is just unexceptable, he should be taken down.

yeah that's true too...

completely unexpected

even I couldn't tell how i'd react if that happened to me...?

yesterday we got pulled over. the wife was driving and the baby was in the child seat. apparently he couldnt see the front number plate, which he duly went to the front and noticed that it was there. all good. except he got on the road and caught someone else 50meters up the road.

the lesson of the story, sell the skyline and get an evo :banana:

haha yeah not long ago i went through a booze bus in the S15 (AUS spec so its legal on p's) and the cop stoped me as i was about to drive away, and said "why are you driving this car" hahah i just continually said "because i'm allowed to" with him answering "no you are not"

... i waited til i was holding up all 7 cars behind me as i was first in line.. then his fellow copers came over to see what was going on.. that was when i let it rip with precise nissan power figures and weight figures... even did the calculation showing it was under 125kw/tonne, which is the only power restriction law that governs me and showed him my birthday on my licence to prove when i got my p's. by this stage all 8 copers standing around my car went "yeah thats sounds fair" the cop who accused me went bright red in the face and went "well go on, get out of here"

if you are ok with cop attention keep the skyline

yeh okay dickhead.

this is wat shits me the most.

flamin mongrels post on here about their dilemmas and hot shot mods come along with the infamous line of "man the f*k up or get lost"

if i dont like the way ur face looks ill shoot u .

if your okay with it keep it

if you aint, get plastic surgery.

does that sound senseable?

the fact that these cops firstly dont no wtf they are talking about is insane, wth are these ppl out on the roads if they cant do their job properly.

and come on, grabbing the guy by the throat and deliberately smashing the car?

my advice buddy is the next time u run into anyone like that in the force, you grab a badge ID. if they reuse it its not hard to jot down the car rego and time so they can locate who was rostered that nite.

but i can sorta understand if your mind wasnt where it should of been after a incident like that, thats of course if it happened like you siad.

ive never had police problems, and you should see my car.

best of luck

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
