on the same day i was at supercheap at stud park around lunch time and there were two coppers in the car park with an unmarked black SS.. funny thing was they were 'guarding' a fully sick drift spec 180 with sponsor stickers and all, minus number plates with the bonnet up exposing the big above mount turbo..

the coppers looked pretty puzzled as the owner seemed nowhere around, so while i was at the check out counter at supercheap, one of the cops came in and questioned the check out boy about the owner, they suspected (and i quote "we have received information that the owner is hiding in here" ) the owner to be in the store hiding LOL..

although i would have liked to hang around a little to see what unfolded next, i thanked my lucky stars for not being in my skyline before getting the fark out of there before my 1600 was compromised :spank:

Yeah that was Pettet and his Sidekick in the Black SS unmarked, and it did happen around lunch time, it must of just been after i was defected.

Yeah dang i didnt get any of the guys details i might have to call back and speak to another person there that deals with Defects, It was pretty clear what he told me about what i can do do bypass the V.A.S.S.

Pretty good point to get the details of the person i spoke too, wish i did now because i know how crummy VicRoads are majority of the time.

Lucky i have the Work Car for a week so i have time to fix it all up.

You dont want the details - you want it in writing is what i've found :)

Soon as you ask for that, someone with the actual knowledge comes out or you get the "oh, hang on a minute there is something here that says..."

Only reason i say that, is it happened to me with my whole VASS debarcle late last year where VicRoads documentation says i dont need one, call centre says i dont need one

Yet i rockup and low and behold some guy comes out with some mystical piece of paper says i do. And i looked @ thier website for hours and printed out all my doco's that backed me up.

Such is VicRoads really :cheers:

As if a Defect is not enough from Pettet

Today in the mail comes a EPA letter saying i have to get my exhust checked what a A**Hole is Petett

If the Epa is so concerned for the enviroment which it is ment to be protecting it wouldnt send you out papper and make you drive 20kms to a tester, what a Rought So much for living in "the land of the Free" this shit just makes me so angry...................

Althou Lucky i have a friend who works at the EPA who hopefully can do something about this and rip the letter in half *sit on that Pettet*

Well you drive a car illegally modified, at the end of the day he is just doing his job.

Drive a legal car, or take the consequences on the chin.

You might not agree with the law, but you live here so you have no choice

yeah but if you actually read through half of the rules and regulations, HALF of the non-modified cars can be defected too.

some of the rules and guidelines are so vague and stupid it really does leave too much interpretation up to the enforcer, which in turn means there is far more room for prejudice and stereotyping being the reason someone is pulled over and not because there car is obviously a danger/illegal.

I got pulled over driving my full sick VL sedan ages ago... no where near legal... too low, tow bar covered the licence, tyres were worn, rear lights didnt work (it was night when i was pulled over), leaked oil, too loud, illegal tint etc etc... you know what they said, just make sure when i get home i take the towbar off cause if i go through a speedcamera they cant tell what the plate is... so not only did they let me off they then told me how to avoid speeding tickets lol

If i was in a stock skyline with even just rims and a cheap catback they would have gone over the car with a fine tooth comb and probably would have found enough to defect me and receive an EPA letter in a week or 2. And the skyline would be a far safer on the road. So its never going to get any better so no matter what happens your just going to have to put up with it if you drive a modified import.

Funny i never knew driving a skyline was driving a illegal car, Didnt even know that have the FMIC where i had it was illegal, when the instuctions on the install tell you to cut a hole bellow the washer bottle you dont exactly think your doing anything illegal,

I am a truck driver and i am on the road everyday i see cars all the time (it would be almost 100's) everyday that were a lot more dangerous on the roads than my slightly modified skyline.

Anyways FMIC is off and SMIC is back on now ive just got to find a pannel beater to patch the hole up

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
