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.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
