I understand, but if you make sure that you keep record of all instances that you have contact and what was said (I know this sounds a bit over the top, but carry a tape recorder, or even better a video camera:D) and if they step out of line go directly to their supervisor. I think the days where coppers can get away with shit are dwindling - they have to be fully accountable for their actions, no more coverups especially if you have evidence.

It is a tough choice, but personally I wouldnt put up with crap on principle. No reason if you arent doing anything wrong that you should be getting hasselled.

Hippy, legal lowering height is 350mm from middle of wheel hub to the top of the guard, also no part of the car should be lower than 100mm with (cant rember how many) metres of the axles(applies to larger vehicles) - but it basically means you cant get lower than 100mm. And the car must sit on the rims if the tyre deflates;) Thats from memory anyways.

Dont worry about the dump hippy, its sitting waiting for you:)

I've been lucky so far - have never been pulled over!! Fingers crossed, but I guess it'll happen one day ;)

My b/f's bro got pulled over and defected in a stock N13 pulsar the other night for being too low. The cop's parting comment was " You're just lucky you don't have an import mate" - now whats with that?! :confused:

Did they put all 3 defects on the 1 defect slip? If so then you only need to pay 1 fine (atleast in nsw).

If they wrote 3 different defect slips for each fault then you'll be up for 3x the $$$

Also how did they come to the conclusion that your exhaust was "too loud" ? Did they test your exhaust with a small device standing behind your exhaust as you hold the revs at 3000rpm? If they just pulled you over and said "your exhaust sounds too loud here's a defect" report them to the local cop shop.

The reason they knew it was too low, too loud blah blah is cause when i passed my defect i put everything back on there and he goes to me "we know you put everything back on the after u passed"

"your just mocking the system" he recons which is why i copped the fine.

mechanically my car is A1 but no all the ****in bush bunnie fuct up shit boxes are allowed 2 drive round here and stuff but i can't drive my car round!

Plus when i tell ppl that my car had been defected again they say "why its allways so neat and looked after"

my reply?

What about when its chick cops (with bigger balls than most of you boys) that pull you over???  

Then your powers are void...

Actually, when the chick coppers have a big set of hairy dusters, your powers are just as relevant as ever, if not more :)

my friend got his 180 defected .. just for a bov ... went to regency ... they then gave him half a page of stuff to fix ... double defected ... now he's probably going to have to spend maybe 500-1k just to pass ... they just out to screw u over ... whoever died from a bov anyway?

Hippy some bov are pretty big, perhaps you could hit someone with it hard enough you could kill them.

Beside that, they are very useful.

You could use them for pest control - throw them at rats and larger ****roaches, mormons etc.

You could put it on the coffee table, after a good cleanup, and use it as a conversation peice. Be very handy if you had unwelcome visitors.

You could even use it to chock your wheels if you have to change a flat, but it would be better to use a brick.

It would also make a good paper weight.

Perhaps you could even use it to stop air reverting through the compressor of a turbo and causing damage. Nah sorry, just being plain silly now.

By the way, anybody want to buy a bov? I have a spare one - shiney and red....hmmm.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
