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.

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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
