paul's serious about the shiny bit btw - jimih got yellowed coz his chrome cup could 'blind him' - even though he can't even see it

for the best anyway :D

pillar guages are fine as long as they're against the pillar and not hindering vision / line of sight etc

The second guage could be argued to be a hazard during an accident - the distance to headspace argument. I don't think the cops would ping you, but the pits may do. Anyone had experience on this?

btw - heaps of people have the single pod (me included) and have had no problems.

they will yellow ya for anything...

granted it was a ford but i got sticked in my old car for dirty front headlights and a seatbelt that didnt retract properly...

i didnt do anything to the car and drove straight to mandurah desiel (local sticka remover) and got it over the pits straight away.

lots of the time it will because they didnt get a read out when you were speeding or something like that....

just watch your lead foot boys...

You break road rules, car looks bit sporty, and give a little cheak when cop pulls you up.....you get a sticker for your troubles. When I say give a little cheak, you might just look at him/her the wrong way.

You'll never stop cops from handing them out, It's bullshit. And regardless of whether or not your mods are legal. Passing the pits still hits you in the hip pocket.

It's not that bad. If you get done and it's not warranted then you don't have to pay and the officer can get a minor reprimand if you follow it up.

Not that my car would pass - but if you get one and you have to spend the $$ to get it over the pits then the cop was just doing his job right? It's a risk we all take and shouldn't unless we're prepared for the consequences.

Sorry - just heard the "poor me - it's not fair" argument too many times..

i agreee with Cam.. also on that note i think most of you are blowing everything out of proportion.. How often do u honestly get a yellow? I hear lots of boohoo stories from various differant people but not same person every 2nd week crying about it.

I copped several yellows on my ute, but they were always due to me being somewhere where i should(street drags) or doing something stupid(speeding/burnout).. So end of day it was my own fault.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
