Probably defect you for the bonnet release latch not working? Lol I have no idea... I don't know if anyone has ever been in that situation?

Cop might think you're just making excuses to not pop the bonnet! Might make him even more suspicious.

f*k thats sucks then, so even thou my car is stock as a rock engine wise, i still can get defected for having a modded car just because my bonnet release dosn't work? wtf lol

how do u clear that defect thou, if there was nothing wrong with the engine. do u just have to fix the bonnet release and then go to the cop shop and show the police my engine bay? lol f*k cops have to much power over cars

They'd be able to ping you for not being able to open the bonnet. Or, they'll ping you for a suspicion of a defect or something else minor.

It depends on the defect to where you get sent.

A minor defect (bald tyres, blinker not working, etc) you'll go to a cop shop.

A major defect (loud exhaust, too low, boost gauge in wrong spot, turbo timer, etc) you'll go to Regency.

Most of the time, you'll get sent to Regency, though. And they'll check over everything (not just what's on the list).

But if you get sent to the cop shop, they'll simply check what's on the list - nothing else.

just weld your bonnet shut and leave a hole where the oil filler cap is, and a hole for topping up the radiator. thatll do it.

lol you will be so f**ked if one of the plugs fouled lol

that would have to be one of the stupidest things i have ever heard in my 21 years

of being on this planet.

Hello All

I am a new member to this forum...recommended by, yes you guessed it, our friendly neighbourhood Scottish Cop. He told me about the feedback he had been receiving on this site whilst defecting my Skyline.

We were heading South on Hanson Road yesterday afternoon. It's been a good six months since we drove through Woodville / Arndale. Mr. Policeman was heading North along Hanson Road. He spotted my black 4-door R33 Skyline and did a U-turn about a kilometre up from Arndale shopping centre. After he followed for a km I pulled into Arndale shopping centre. Just as I was pulling into a carpark, the disco lights came on.

He opened with "I pulled you over due to the fact that there has been plenty of these types of Skylines been stolen in the area." My reply was "Please tell me how many 4-door Skylines exist in South Australia, let alone in the this area." With no reply he began checking the car for defect. This is despite me not having done anything to get pulled over in the first place. I was doing about 55kmph in a 60 zone and driving sensibly.

My next comment to him was "In that case, tell me how many of these that had been stolen would have been driven by a fat, balding white man?" Again, Mr Policeman had nothing to say.

The next thing to come out of his mouth was "I am getting you for your Boost Controller, your BOV, your 4 gauges up the A-pillar and your Turbo Timer." To which my reply was "Well, mate, we have had this car for 6 months now and it was a Vic registered car. I know the BOV and 2 gauges may be illegal because I put them in myself after buying the car. But I had to get this vehicle checked by Regency before I could register it in SA for the first time, and they okayed 2 gauges, the Turbo Timer and the Boost Controller."

All the copper had to say was "the guy who checked your car must have been having a bad day".

So now I have a canary in the front window and rego that runs out before the date of the Regency Inspection. Another win for the revenue raisers of the SA government.

IF ANYONE has a date for a vehicle inspection with SA transport at Regency park PRIOR TO the 12th January and CANNOT KEEP THIS APPOINTMENT please let me know so I can take your spot! I really don't want to have to wait this long for an appointment.

Oh, and steer clear of the Port Adelaide / Woodville area...

Crack_1

If that was the case he had all that time he was following you to run your plates to ensure the vehicle was not reported stolen.

Bad form, all he had to say was "i've pulled you over for a licence check" nothing more.

I think he enjoys his job far too much.

Look what this has become! Now he is basically targeting us!! And even recommending the owners to SAU!

That's bad luck, Crack_1. It's becoming real bullshit. The guy has it out for any Skyline owners and has no discretion what-so-ever.

But at the same time, I guess it is a legit defect. Our defect laws are a bit different to Victoria (assuming that's where you're originally from).

But yes, welcome to SAU and the community! :/

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
