anyone up for a drift session tonight in the scarborough police station car park?? just a though

Next weekend the boys n girls in blue along with our friends in the road transport department will be going out on a little operation to target

" young people in hot cars"

they will be targetting imports , as they have had a training session on what is illegal and what is not

what is an import and what is not !

and mainly other hot cars and stuff

so if your going out next week remove the nos and put on the silencers as i hear the yellow stickers have been printed in bulk

P.S typical knee jerk reaction of cops after pathetic media coverage of the 'race scene'

its over next week and the long weekend , so yeah just keep it cool and dont attract tooo much attention

P.S.S have a friend in police traffic

P.S.S.S will be next weekend targeting all hot spots scarbs , freo illegal drags (which apparentlygot sprung last week and stickered plenty)

P.S.S.S.S will also be the following long weekend

Oh great, more cops wasting DPI Inspectors time.

No doubt 90 percent of the cars they sticker will go straight over the pits and get the sticker removed.

On the up side its nice to see someone admit that until now theyve had no idea what is illegal or not... so much so that theyve needed a training session to find out.

actually u'd be suprised how much they do know. I've seen cops in action at scarborough and most times what they sticker for they are well within their rights to. Its up to the car owner to get permits for modifications on a vehicle. Face it most owners dont "know" what is legal or not they only think they do. If they did know then they would realise pod filters arent legal unless in an enclosed space or fitted correctly and then issued a permit for by pits.

my 2c on it. :P

Got a friend with a crazily modded GT4 Celica. He got pulled over by the cops and they lifted the bonnet to have a look. He asked what they were looking for and they said boost controllers. He replied he didn't have one. They left him alone. What he didn't tell them was the motec handled boost control anti-lag and water injection. They had no idea. It was also running avgas and no cat.

Summoner,

Then why do most of these so called illegal cars pass over teh pits first time, many without a single modification from the moment it was stickered?

This is the issue I have with police not knowing what is illegal or not. Sure, owners need to get permits and most of the time DPI will tell them whats required and help out in that regard. But im sick of cops claiming something is illegal on the side of the road when its clearly not.

Like my brother being asked to turn his fog lights off at an RBT in his 180SX. He doesnt have fog lights. The cop threatened him and said if he didnt turn them off straight away hed be fined. Once again my brother reinforced that they were park lights but the copper insisted they were fog lights. With cars banking up behind him the cop had to resign in the end.

I mean if they cant tell the difference between fog lights and parkers then i gotta doubt their knowledge of car legalities.

So for any police reading this, 180SX's DONT HAVE F&*CKING FOG LIGHTS!

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
