just thought i would ask out of curiosity. i got pulled over on the way in and on way out. i thought the cops little set up was stupid though i almost got arse ended when they asked me to pull over on the way in. he waited till i was half way past him and from the other side of the road springs out pointing and yelling for me to pull over. I cant complain about defects though as i didnt get any. all they did was pop my bonnet for 5 seconds and told me to be on my way. didnt check tyres or anything.

On the way out though i noticed the 180 infront of me getting ticketed and the officer was going all over the car with a camcorder videoing and taking photos of the engine bay and tires etc etc which i have never seen done before. And also when i was pulled over on the way out i just had to ask the point of it as they got me on my way in. im like excuse me but how am i supposed to modify my car in the space of an hour while im on the beach. all he had to say was asking me if i got a prize on my way in. they must really get kicks out of what they doing.

Your bloody lucky that cop didn't tell you that he suspect you for having illegal substance in your car and that he needs to check your vehicle inside and out, then after he finish the interior of the car, he then tells you that he suspect you for having illegal modification on the vehicle. That should take around 1:30-2:00 hours of your time which you don't need my friend so consider yourself lucky.

P.S. - I'm not having a go at you mate just stating the facts.

Ya can still go to the spit mate, just make sure ya car is legal, simple.

There are pages of incidents where people have been carded for legal modz and sometimes no mods at all dude. (Tommah being the most recent example)

Go near the spit in an import at your peril

matter of fact, Go near the coast in an import at your peril.

they must really get kicks out of what they doing.

I got pulled over bout 9 months back with my mate in a 33, doing about 50kms in 4th in the valley (u'd be an idiot to do anything stupid especially there), what does the coppa say, "Oh beeeaaautiful! We got two more of them!" Both pulled over to see 2 other 34's pulled over. Myself and the other 2 34's got away with single defect of a modified muffler. My mate in the 33 wasn't so lucky...haha. He got done for everthing he possibly could. He even got done for 'modifying' the battery to the boot (in a 33 mind you).

i don't know if i've just been lucky so far or its just cause I avoid the 'hotspots'. I haven't had any problems in either of my skylines so far, and my current one isn't exactly street legal :> I stay away from the spit/BWCP areas and dont go through surfers on fri/sat nights.

my question is every company you deal with have a customer standard mission statement and they are accountable for there customer service

it seems the po po have no customer service training at all

yeah yeah i know they see dead people and all that but if i get a little heated in my workplace i get pulled up and dealt with

Isn't the battery supposed to be in the boot? Thats where mine is anyway...

I've never had any problems with my car, i just drive it where ever i'm going lol.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
