Ben Simpson Memorial Cruise - 2009


Recommended Posts

yes, youre right. forgive me for hearing a car caning it, looking up and only seeing one car driving and putting 2+2 together. how very stupid of me.

if you wanna continue this conversation, pm me.

agreed with dave here

was standing nearby him, heard someone bash limiter and look up and see said car moving at somewhat of a rate of knots for where it would have left the carpark

sounds like someone is jumping on the defensive a bit here, especially considerin dave didnt mention the colour of the 180 in question, but you did.

so sue me too for agreeing with dave. To put it bluntly, drive like a dick, cop it on the chin if you get caught. shit like that would have been cool one day in the past, but its not now, as it dragged unwanted attention to the group (yes whether the cops woulda gone round defecting had said car gone belting off or not is another thing, but it gave them a reason to come and hang around for a bit more of a look)

/addition to can of worms

It really makes me laugh when i here this, people think that cos there not doing anything wrong that it is wrong if the cops give them a defect :laugh: If you mod your car illegally, then you deserve to get a defect at anytime. Just cos its a cruise for charity is no reason for people to get away with driving a defectable/dangerous car.

I bet you wouldn't be so positive if you copped one, hows about a bit of compassion for those that did. After all everyone was there for the right reasons knowingly putting their rides at risk. My car is defectable and i guarantee its safer than most standard cars 5 years its senior.

If i cop a defect i'll only be mad at myself, as all the mods on my car are there cos i wanted them. I'll only be compassionate if its not a worthy defect.

The most I've been defected for is a loose air filter, My engine conversion is regency approved so that i can avoid defects. I went through a defect station at the bay about a month ago and came out sticker free. I do my best to keep my car legal or at least look that way, so for those that don't mod their cars in that way there's no one to blame but themselves.

*end rant*

I've been defected once (12 months ago now, gee time flys) and it was for a BOV that was there when i bought the car (from a car yard and the car was just complied). Most Skylines out there making anymore than 150-180rwkw are defectable (and last i looked yours was making 300 odd) so yours may be approved with a 26 but far from legal.

I guarantee you pop my bonnet and think its a 150rwkw weapon too but i guarantee i could end up with a canary in no time if the boys in blue felt that way inclined. Luck has alot to do with it IMO.

Either way good to see your beast making the numbers (318 right) on Willalls dyno gotta be happy with that..... :laugh:

Yeah 316 on 18psi :D

I never said my engine was legal but it would be very hard for a officer to find the bits that aren't, even regency didn't find my P-fc d-jectro :rofl:

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
