Me and 2 of my other mates car got defected tonight at Villi's carpark... cops were weird and all angry for some reason tonight... as i was walking towards my car after a meal at Villis a cop drove his car in and blocked my car, friends s13 and my other friends integra... didnt know what we did wrong but he called 2 more cop cars to come and they completly blocked us from going anywhere. it wasnt like we were going to do a runner or something cos we didnt do anything wrong.. then after cops came out and type all our number plates up and blah blah, checked out our cars and then gave us 3 defect each for stupid reason such as bald tires and crap.. Are these cops bored tonight or were they just finding a place to target us easy . . .

Your right, being defected for bald tyres is stupid, stupid on your behalf!

you should be smart enough to have decent tread, not only for avoiding a defect, but insurance.

you do realise bald tyres void your insurance policy?

and as Luke said, cop shop defect, you come out lucky considering.

In the dry bald tyres will enhance performance, in the wet you'll aquaplane across the top of the water if there's enough of it and have zero traction

Uh... no they won't. Once tyres have gone bald they have almost certainly gotten very very hard and be uneven. They will give terrible performance in that state.

a little excessive, yes, but not exactly out of the ordinary.

it wasnt like we were going to do a runner or something cos we didnt do anything wrong..

and? cops obviously accounted for all possibilities.

then after cops came out and type all our number plates up and blah blah, checked out our cars and then gave us 3 defect each for stupid reason such as bald tires and crap.. Are these cops bored tonight or were they just finding a place to target us easy . .

bald tyres is a stupid defect? since when?

seriously, man the f**k up, you got a cop shop defect for something that is an obvious safety issue and youre complaining?

remember, you own a skyline, they couldve made it a whole worse with very little effort.

people that have bald tires deserve to get defected IMHO.....i normally change my tires as soon as they get to the wear marker....i dont know why people put all the money in enhancing performance of their cars when they cheap out on tires......ffs thats the only thing between the road and you......and craig is correct in regards to insurance as well.......seriously man just get some new tires (cheapies if it may be) and get the defect cleared.....you got off rather easy....but thats just the luck

OK. Of course, you're almost certain that if a tyre is bald it's hard and uneven..... race cars run slicks in dry weather because they perform worse, didn't know that!

theres a pretty significant difference between a f**ked out street tyre with no tread and an engineered full slick with 5mm of high quality rubber to get through.

The compound that the tyre is made from in a racing slick is completely different then a normal tyre.

A normal road tyre with no tread does nothing but give you worse traction in all aspects and conditions.

obviously ;)

Again, obvious. I'll agree to disagree, cause I'm not talking about shagged tyres that are well past their expiry

Also not implying it shouldn't be a defect

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
