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.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
