coming home from work tonight, driving through eltham i got breath-tested.. had been at work all day plus i hardly ever drink, but the lady officer gave my car a second glance and asked to see my licence.. she then walked around my car to find my discreet but still visible P plates... then she let me go!! boy was i nervous...

good to see the cops going easy on the new shitty green P plates and rear window tints.. they are harder to see than the old red ones, but still we get the benefit of the doubt. :)

sorry for possibly irrelevant thread but it was the first time id come across cops in my skyline, and to come out alive with demerit points still intact felt so good!

^^^^^^^

let me guess...u got pulled up at breath test station...u got so stressed about getting defected that as the cop was about to give u the breath test u grabbed his head and smashed it though the windscreen?

just a guess :)

Man I know the feeling, with all the horror stories I've heard I get stressed & would end up sweeting like a pig in fear the minute I see a cop car near me, so far my stock car is doing a pretty good job of blending in with the surrounding commo, falcon & camrys that the cops don't seem to notice me much at all :)

Once I had a cop walk onto the road, showed his badge & pulled up the riced lancer next to me (for a defect check I'm guessing, since both of us weren't speeding), while the other cop with the speed gun, saw me slowing down as well (since that cop walked on my lane 1st), giving me the hand signal to hurry up & be gone... by the end off it I was sweeting like a pig, coz my car was missing a water cap for the window washer & I have heard people getting defected for that...

haha reminds me when i was at an intersection;

my r32, commodore, riced up lancer.

We all took off normally from the lights, until the commodore next to me turned on his lights and pulled over the lancer.

Turned out it was a unmarked commodore cop car. Dodged a bullet there i reckon lol

i remember what happened to my gf. she was at the lights at burwood hwy - a done up s15 200sx pulled up along side her impreza. he looked over, saw that it was a woman driving, gave her a smile, started reving.

Lights turn green - burnout, blowoff valve, big exhaust, 0 - 100 in 6 seconds - 4 seconds after that , WEEOOOWEEOOWEOOOWEEEOOO - there was an unmarked commodore ss behind him that saw the whole thing.....

gf had a good laugh as she passed his now stopped 200sx

I'm actually happy to hear this.. when i first started seeing/not seeing the green ps under tints, the first thought i had was of the Police fining people for it.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
