Tonight, i was pulled up by police in front of a police station where they were conducting RBT tests as far as i could see. The police man asked me if i had anything to drink, i said 'no not at all' because that was the truth, he then asked 'do you have your licence there?' i said yes and handed it over.

He handed it back, and then i sat there, waiting for the RBT. After nothing happened for a few secs, i asked, is that it? He said yes you can go. So i left.

My point is, i dont think the police are doing their jobs properly! Have other people been pulled over for RBT and not tested like me??

Even when i was caught speeding about 2 months ago, they wrote me the ticket, but did not even bother to breathalyse me. What if someone was drunk and speeding? They wouldnt stop them!

Ive brought this up cuz its the second time, and i think its really stupid of the police.

Plus when i was pulled up tonight, another officer was looking over my car and writing down stuff, i dont know what for...but that was worrying....

Hmmm.. I don't think the cop did anything wrong. In fact I would have driven away thinking "What a good cop"..

You see.. in the USA they are not allowed to breathlise you unless they have reason to suspect your drunk. Hence the 'walk the line please sir' test.

RBT's in our country employ the guilty until proven innocent concept which is total bullsh*t!!!

That cop was a good guy.. he believed you.

first thing about a some (not all) drink drivers, you would probaly smell the alcohol almost straight away. You would behave differently as well.

Im sure the officer was been lazy, and was filtering out the likey drink drivers.

But i also rekon they were not interested in breather-lising you, they should be checking as many people as possible, drink driving is stupid.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
