i got pulled over twice this weekend (not bad really, considering i drove each night). once was by a lone highway patrol, and the other was a set up RBT station. the funny thing was in the time they checked my car in the RBT queue, the officer could have breath tested another 3 people easily. not really worth it considering that apart from a slightly loud exhaust, my car is clean.

what are your stories? any funny or irritating experiences over the long weekend?

lucky devils! maybe it's because in the campbelltown area there is very little traffic at night and the odds of being pulled over on a main road are pretty high.

0 for me too, btw any chance you wanna sell that front bar of yours brian? :D

hit up jetpseed, it is the explosion bodykit :D

(trust me that front lip is a pain in the backside, i had to get it resprayed a few months ago)

I always feel like the Prime Minister driving around the central coast with my police escort service... I know most of the u/c cars so I just smile and wave to them.. They even have a toyota family van and I must confess im curious as to what they would do if someone did a runner on them.. Targo van vs Skyline?. Still haven't been booked in 5 years and NEVER in my skyline.

My bro and I were in my car, and he asked if he could have a drive. I didn't mind because I needed to get some passenger burn anyway. We got pulled over for an RBT and he was fined because the address on his license was wrong.

:P

Mmmm, how about that, an idiot caught near a recently discussed "fun driving" road. And caught in a skyline, of all cars to be caught in! Things are looking up for us import owners in the eyes of the local police (note the extreme sarcasm here)

A TEENAGE girl on P-plates was behind the wheel of a car allegedly caught street racing a carload of boys at speeds of up to 160km/h.

The two groups of friends were in separate vehicles when police in an unmarked car allege they spotted the P-platers racing on the Princes Highway at Bombo, south of Sydney.

The drivers - Candice Alysa Robson, from Shell Cove and Fouzi Rabay, of Kiama Downs, both aged 19 - had their cars confiscated for three months and are facing criminal charges. Their licences were also suspended on the spot.

Police allege Rabay had two male passengers in his Holden Commodore while he was racing Robson, who was driving a Nissan Skyline, with two female passengers, about 9pm on Sunday.

Both have been charged with street racing, dangerous driving and exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h.

Rabay's father Sam, described his son's behaviour as "stupid" yesterday and said his son was lucky not to have killed someone.

At his home yesterday Mr Rabay, 50, said his son had not told him of the incident until he was asked where the car was yesterday afternoon.

"I feel really upset about this - I didn't bring him up to behave like this," Mr Rabay said. "My son was lucky not to have had a serious accident or killed some innocent people from his own stupidity.

"I really apologise for his behaviour. I apologise to the public and I apologise to the police."

Superintendent Mick Plotecki from Lake Illawarra police yesterday said driving dangerously over the long weekend period was "sheer stupidity". "This sort of behaviour defies belief," he said.

"We're talking about street racing on a public street over a long weekend. This is a time when we've got more families on the road - it's sheer stupidity."

Speaking on the phone to The Daily Telegraph, Fouzi Rabay said it was appropriate that police should confiscate his car.

"We were just being stupid," he said. "But it's nobody else's fault. I've got to take the consequences."

Robson could not be contacted for comment yesterday.

Both vehicles were yesterday locked up in the police holding yards at Albion Park.

The P-platers are due to face Kiama Local Court on March 19.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
