Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone lives or works in the city?

Reason im asking is that i work there and park my car on the street in front of work and while im out i keep getting told that cops stop and take photos, or just walk around it looking at it.

I find this very strange as its not really modified just a HKS Super Drager Exh and Pillar Gauges that are visible.

Anyone else having the same problems????

Im Confused:eek:

I can guarantee that the police are STILL looking at every skyline they see in and around the city as the recent spate of ramraids continues. I am typing this whilst in the same room as one of the city's finest and he has just finished telling me that your car has been mentioned and is just being routinely checked as well as a bright yellow 34 outside the 7/11 on george st.

Nothing to worry about, (probably). You should enjoy the attention you are receiving (as should everyone else) as the police have got a MAJOR eye on 'line drivers at the moment.

I was pulled over the other night out the front of Bondi Junction police station by a paddy wagon. the next second a officer runs out to my car from inside the station then another cop car comes from aroud the corner and blocks me in from the front. I had no clue what was going on. They say it was a "Random breath test" but that is BS! kept me waiting for over 15 minutes then after taking my licence details and my passenger they let me go! Total waste of my time!

Thanx for the input guys

Hey 2rismo are you a cop????

Hopefully with all the cops stopping near it, It will detterr the little shits that are Supposedly working there well thats what they told me when i asked them wtf they were doing near it.

Hey Croat,

Did they try to defect you or anything or was it just a licence check?

I don't mind getting pulled over because it will weed out anyone that trys to steal our pride and joy lol

As long as they don't defect us out of pure boredom......

Thanx

Dan

yeah, i was followed on the way home tonight, our finest pulled a big smoking u turn to follow me (nice safety boys).

I managed to get away from them among all the roundabouts up here and into my garage b4 they pulled me over for a random skyline test (RST)

never had cops take photos...

the latest fad is passengers, and sometimes drivers, taking pics using their mobile phones. i've also been video'd from behind by the passenger, even had someone pose next to my car whilst waiting at a red light.

adrian, whats this yellow 34 (GTT or GTR) outside 7/11 on George St? is that the new 7/11 down Martin Pl end or is there a 7/11 next to the Woolworths across from the Town Hall somewhere???

How many fargin' yellow Skylines are out there???

Yeah police do take notice of Skylines and Rexes. They do run plates more often than not. So people who are the slightest bit el dodge should not be driving the Skys around.

Sometimes the way the cops pull you over when you arn't breaking any rules, and then threaten you with taking your car off you, all without having reason or bothering to get out of their car to talk to you, but shouting at you instead.

It seems like the cops are taking this too far and treating skyline owners like criminals.

The polite and considerate police have nothing to worry about, but the rude and unreasonable ones will get complaints by every possible avenue available because making unjustified threats like this is plain disgusting!

I would ask the police to please treat drivers with respect regardless of whether they drive an import or not.

I will say I'm sorry for ever having a skyline to gain the cops attention, cause I certainly wasn't doing anything wrong.

Having a skyline makes us more satisfied, and we do take the time to develop a great deal of driving skill and just like to enjoy the feel of acceleration. This should not be a crime to accellerate fast while keeping under the speed limit and no loss of traction is not something we should be yelled at for!

I hope they get rid of the fixed speed cameras - they are blatant money making machines, not one iota to do with road safety! These cameras and the behaviour of police and restrictive regulations in general that are developed into law creating barriers to entry for non-established people are proof that the system is corrupt.

The police are the front line in showing the system is not corrupt. Don't forget that Australian law is supposed to be based on common sense, not having to keep making so many rules.

I feel old now.

I've seen that yellow R34 parked outside the 711 on george street a fair bit.

I also saw another yellow 34 GTT with a large dent just in front of the front door parked just outside the Spanish club (next to 3 wise monkeys) the other weekend. I wonder how he got that dent? (Anyone else see this poor car?)

George, you're a kinky b4stard!

Frankie, No its the one near Haymarket near the tram lines HAY STREET.

Everyone, id depends....sometimes they check plates, licences etc... just dont have an attitude and you should be right. not a great idea to be in the city in the small hours of the morning though. you WILL be stopped.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
