shit hey! i wish they would do some real plolice work... anyways, i just love it how the cops secretly admire our cars whilst in the process of defecting.... i got pulled over once and defected (pulled me over for my wheels slipping at an intersection on an incline just after there had been roadworks ie:gravel on road...still my 'bad' driving i guess...), he checked over my car etc etc, then told me how well these things go and told me all about the skyline and how he has driven them before and in fact he had a mate that imports them etc... might be true but i doubt it!

cara is right, a cop cannot open anything that is concealed(locked) without a warrent, eg glove box boot or even under the hood. i have heard bout this also from a few people. if anyone can prove otherwise i would have argued that fact about opening the glovebox, but i have never been defected as i was nice to them bout stuff and dont know how the adelaide cops react.

cheers... michael

wrong.........they can damn well have a look at whatever they like. Ask darren (Deluxe) bout the time he got pulled over and the car searched end to end because they thought he might have had drugs in the car, i know its different but the application is the same.

of the times i got pulled over for stupid shit, i only ever got asked to pop the bonnet once. They have the right to see what is under there...........and if you have nothing to hide why not open it?

they need a warrant to check anything out of sight unless they have reasonable suspiscion. In this case it was the cable hanging out the glovebox.

exactly, just noticed this post afta i wrote all that LOL...................maybe for the PFC hand controller (for those that have them) get the cable threaded through the back of the glove box so it looks eleventybillion times less suspect

Understand exactly how you feel man!! I was defected on the way to Victor Harbour couple of weeks ago - about 5km before VH. Damn it! The cop delibrately made a U-turn at 100k zone after passing by my car. And guess what, "RBT". what a lame excuse!

Asked me to pop up my bonnet.. and straightaway went to the boost controller solenoid area.. "Mate,. this is illegal mate.., I have to defect your car".. luckily no fine thou. put a nice sticker on my windscreen!

Went in to regency last week. As expected, no luck!.. coming friday will be going in for a recheck.. (exhaust was too loud and castor rod bushes)... *sigh*

dam that sucks man.

why cant they leave us skyline owners alone when we are just crusing home or whatever, when there are so many commodores out there doing burnouts and crap like the one the other night at pooraka where they gave chase and lost the ute and then came around the corner and found it slammed into another car and pole and killed himself and the other driver of the other car. bloody crap!

I did that, but with my Profec B ..... http://www.users.on.net/~geekhabitat/glovebox.jpg

Also wired a 12v laptop charger into the glovebox after the picture was taken, and will be wiring a Conzult cable into the glovebox too, so I can run it with my EEE... fun stuff... only thing they'll be able to defect is the boost controller, so it was worth doing... wasnt hard either, just time consuming

i didnt think they could open glove boxes and stuff without a warrant or something cause its classfied as private property? unless u give permission?

as already pointed out but Laws under the EPA Environment Protection Authority give officers the rights you would not believe

under this Act 2004 they don't need warrants any more for basically anything (looks at Pete)

trying to find more info but that's Chops area of expertise finding legislation :)

sorry to hear Dan :blink: that's my big fear one day the big yellow stickering in book will come out i will see how my car goes over the pits but and then fix what it on the 2ndary list that they cant add too :spank::(

yeah pretty much on the money there stevie.

As Ruby said earlier the 1st mistake was to lie to the guy. Cop can look in your car in a public place without a warrant if you give him reason to believe you're carrying contraband or a weapon or if you appear to be hiding something (hence the lie)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
