Hello All.

I received a phone call today from Neil. Obviously he wanted to comment on the horrid accident that happened on the weekend.

He has read the threads in regards the wrx /skyline crash, and wanted to have a friendly chat on the impact it's had on the car scene.

Understandably, there has been talk about police now targeting wrx and skylines, and from one thread in particular, thoughts that they will now pull over every single skyline / wrx they see. Neil would like to make clear that this is not the case.

Neil and his team do not want this to turn into an "excuse" to target high performance vehicles who ARE NOT breaking the law. however, Hooning / speeding will be dealt with accordingly.

A word of advice from Neil, if for any reason, any news reporting programmes such as today tonight or acurrent affair approach any club members and want to talk about what happened and what kind of club we are, he advises not to. As they will only twist our words to make us look irresponsible and like hoons.

Also, if there will be any planned cruises to raise money or to support the families effected by this accident, then Neil would like to be notified so he can help us organise a smooth cruise route to help keep the cruise together. if notified Neil will provide any assistance he is able to.

thanks Guys

Nene

Spot on Nene, SAPOL will indeed leave you alone if you are not breaking the law, which includes HOONING/SPEEDING and DRIVING AN ILLEGALLY MODIFIED VEHICLE.....maybe he just forgot that bit, but its pertinent when it applies to probably 80% of the members here :)

umm do we know you martin? i havnt meet you on a cruise before i dont think

Correct, and you won't meet me on a cruise....and although we have some nice Skylines/GTRs thats exactly my point.

However I have been a member here since 2002 and been an active drag racer most of the time. Go figure :)

What sized stilettos do you wear?

Just like to thank Neil for putting my mind to rest a bit. I've been stressing thanks to the situation over the weekend that I would just get pulled over at any chance the police get. Many of you don't drive your skylines/stag's everyday but I do and the thought of having to go through the trouble of being pulled over, defected, regency then repeat continually is to much of a costly exercise for me.

But a warning to most. Even if you're car isn't 'heavily modified' speeding and being an idiot on the road isn't going to help any of us and just because you don't see any marked police cars around doesn't mean there isn't one in the car next to you.

Don't be stupid, don't f**k it for everyone else.

Thankyou Neil again for clearing it all up.

+1 for Neil's message. Tho tbh I'm not worried as my car is virtually undefectable (yes I know there are ignorant people out there would would happily slap a canary on me but I've never had any trouble in the past... that and I'm much more rotund than most of you, police know me and my car are built for comfort and not speed :)

-D

Edit : Not having a go at you nene, but I love it how someone dies and it becomes a tragedy *sigh*... just like the newspaper "STOP THE CARNAGE" - have these people ever been to Iraq ?

Josef Stalin - "One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic"

good stuff neil.

He is right, the news cant report anything right around here..lol sports maybe not real news.

plus it would be in bad light not to include a police officer rep to support our cause , we dont condone stupid activities

and the peer pressure here tries to reduce it by doing the right thing, not a rebel late night racing, 2f 2f style

road closed pizza boy

dont drive like a moron , enuf said

sad thing is theyre more preoccupied with britney and other b grade celebrities than reporting real world events that have any relevance

makes me feel sorry for the sapol media liasons getting their words twisted or blown out of proportion... politicians feed on that stuff like vultures to a land mine victim

-D

I too want to thank Nene and Neil for the communication and understanding they have kept up. Thanks guys. It's really going to make a difference for everyone if this keeps up.

+1 for Nene and Neil. We need the lines of communication open at times like this. :)

-10 to Martin. :) "Active" member since 2002 with 350 odd posts? I've only ever seen your posts going off-topic, like even now. Never seen you on a cruise. Never seen you at any fund raiser. Never seen you at any SAU event at all. Thats not active, thats being asleep. Which is your attitude right now towards trying to establish a relationship with SAPOL. Wake up! ... contribute positively, or go away and don't come back. :)

No, he doesn't need too. He's been in the 'game' for ages. He knows SAPOL like the back of his hand.

    • 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. (me)
    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
