agreed...not taht i have that issue with meets....just everywhere i drive for no reason at all...i swear my car has a Police GPS tracker in it.....

whereas...i drove my old Beetle home the other day. i forgot how overly loud that thing is (104db at idle)......and yet it go no attention from the cops. and twas my daily driver for about 7 yrs.

I was arguing this over in the wasteland. The police don't really have much choice. For every sensible driver with a legally modded import there are 10 douchebags driving like idiots in unsafe an illegaly modded cars. There are no doubt more shitbox falcadores and econoboxes but they don't stand out. Cars that stand out + large majority being driven poorly/illegally modded = police attention. Not much we can do about it :(

yup thats the main problem.

and i guess the beauty of old cars is that most cops dont know what theyre looking for or at...so they just let it go.

to a point. once they mark a car you are pretty much screwed. the subaru attracts no attention but at the same point I am not looking to attract it either.

part of the reason I now stay away from the JDM meets out at QR. those are going to end in tears for a lot of people if they get any bigger.

this

that is true.

and the only place i ever got in trouble in the bug was playing silly buggers up the main police patrolled drag up here on a thursday night.....so it was bound to happen and i was young and stupid

by old car i mean pre '80's btw. most interpretations of old car is a early to mid '90's como :)

very true. but compared to what i know as old cars. even an R32 is quite refined

this

my 74 bug and my 89 skyline seem like they're from different centuries in some ways. And 20 years old is NOT OLD.

And that was $60,000 in the early 1990's for some of those cars, probably worth a hell of a lot now (inflation an all that.)

You just have to look at some of the features on the cars to see how ahead of the curve they were. Digital dashes, in car Nav/DVD/TV, HUD's, Automatic climate controll and so on. Then there is the mechanical side of it as well, look at how quick the 33 GT-R was around the ring.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
