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)

yeah fair enough i shuoldnt have lied but the main reason he pulled me over was coz of the exhaust being 2 loud so no matter what i was gonna definetly going 2 get a defect, how long is the wait 2 get in2 regency these days??? coz i go overseas for a month in november so i wanna get it sorted before then if it aint gonna cost me shitloads.........

guess im riding my pushbike 2 work 2morrow, thank god its fully carbon fibre and super light n quick

Lock your glovebox and claim you lost the key for it!

A cop once accused me of lying when he said to me my boost gauge was a "rev tacho" and I said "That's a boost gauge" and he said "You better not be lying to me".

And to be honest, I got pulled over in my old 323 once which had a B6T engine conversion. The cop said "Do you have a blow-off valve under that bonnet?" and I said "No officer" and he said "Okay. Have a good night" and left... but I infact did have one :( but it's sprayed Black and under a heap of piping, so he wouldn't of found it.

If you can lie your way out of a defect, why not? Sure, it's being dishonest and all... but if it saves you a defect, then why not?

*waits for the flaming to begin*

Riiiiight. The ignition key locks and unlocks the glovebox Einstein. Didn't think that one thru.

Good on you mate. Go set a good example for all Skyline drivers. :(

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
