ok i went 2 cop stn this arvo. they said i cant write a letter of everything that happened and put a copy of the fine with it. send it to this place, they'll review it, put it on hold and see where it goes from there. if they see i wasnt in the wrong im all good if not i can go 2 court. when i told him i had only just been over speed bump and not even 20m later i get pulled over for doin 72km in 50 zone he looked surprised. then when i said that the cop was tailgatin me he said oh definatly put this letter in. so fingers crossed

basically say you were trying to evade a tailgater and get out of their way or out of fear. I've been advised of ppl being followed for the purpose of stealing their car so it's not such a far fetched idea that this happens.

They ask you about the previous few years when first getting the policy but not after that, nothing mentioned in the policy handbook anyway.

Pretty sure they say that YOU have to make them aware of any further infringements, the onus is on YOU to make sure THEY are aware of your driving record. Maybe it only applies for serious offences.

as u suggested its usually only meant for accidents that were ur fault or loss of licence etc etc.

not for getting dermit points... for example going 12kmh over the limit and getting 1 dermit point.

TBH I don't really care, but I think before any of you take anything for granted, you should call your insurance company and find out.

I was only stating what *I* was told in an effort to stop anyone getting taken for a ride by an insurance company trying to weasel out of a claim.

generally when they try to weasel out of a claim of say 4-6k just keep bugging them about it and say youll take it to court. Generally it's cheaper for the insurance company just to pay you out, I know this firsthand and if you'd like anything answered by someone who works in the industry you can pm me. (I don't work in the industry, someone close to me does and isnt just a ground level chump either)

you can say you had to spped up to avoid having an accident, this does work in some cases ie passing a red light because person behind you was sticking wright to your bumper. all you have to do is explain the cop was travelling dangerously close to your car (not slowing down for speed bumps) so you tryed to avoid the dangours driver as he was to close for you to attempt to pull over and let him pass. the wost that can happen is you still get your fine but if the cop does this several times evetually court will have to let people off.

one of the best things we could do as a motor enthusiast group is to keep a forum open to names and action of dangour cop driving and thing they do to unlawfuly to take are point eventully if someone name comes up a few times it can be used as evidence and i know this has been done to cops who pick on groups of people.

p.s what a f**kign wanker

I somewhat doubt that "I had to SPEED up to AVOID an accident" would hold up in court very well, but I very well could be wrong never been a situation like this.

Anyway how did this situtation go, get a court summon yet and what not?

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
