A message to all modified skyline owners in victoria, yesterday i got pulled over by cops and was slapped a defect on my skyline in the CBD. Funny thing is I had 3.5 inch exhaust system with a 5 inch tip, Nismo 400R bodykit, lowered springs, BOV, airfilter, 2 HKS pillar mount gauges, Microtech computer with handset (when caught) and the works etc.

I managed to talk my way out of it and was only defected by a "LOOSE HANDBRAKE LEVER" and need to get a RWC done.

PART 2 was RWC was done by a dodgy mechanic, so I took it to VIC ROADS, they didnt even bother to check my car! STAMP-FREE to GO! so whaddaya think guys? Also I heard that cops and on the prowl for modified cars, so beware!

Odd, from the outside my ride would look the same as yours.

Lowered, 400r kit but without modded exhaust.

I have been eyeballed by lots of cops and not pulled over once.

I spose whenever they see me I'm adhering to the traffic laws and not driving erractically.

Maybe my car doesn't look like a "hoons" car. :)

That bad-boy image will catch up with you sooner or later :)

HaHa, posting in relay here Jimbo.

I don't have a bad boy image, you know that. I have absolutely no interest at all in Louise's young friends.

Whatever you heard, I had nothing to do with any of it.

defection is nothing.

it comes with a modified car.

and the little 'dodgy-RWC' comment i wouldn't talk about that here.

And when we (i) organise cruises we have nothing to worry about. We've never had problems so relax.

Just got done in Fitzroy street.

BOV, should be easy to fix

Exhaust to low, hopefully the TEIN suspension, i can raise it

Nardi Steering wheel, no centre pad, (will have to check into this)

Front end to be aligned, although the tyres passed.

The last 2 are interesting ones, he said just get an alignment.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
