Hey guys.

Unfortunately I got stickered on friday night on a cruise.

Highway patrol pulled me over cos one of my projectors was not working.

He then proceeded to look at the car. He asked me pop the bonnet. Then checked a few things, then asked me to start the car. He then opened my door and reved the engine 3 times. Making the atmo GTR bov make some noise.

I got done for bald rear tyres (inside camber wear), no permit for my two A-pillar guages, Bov, headlight.

So I am wondering what are cops allowed to do. Can they ask me to open my bonnet, or start my car, or rev the engine.

Can I refuse, or can they get angry and do me for something else?

Which vehicle inspection place should I go to? How much does it cost? Any other advice?

Sorry guys, first time with this.

Cheers

Berny

i would also like to know the legality behind them revving your engine.

I don't think i would of even started the car for them.

Probably get stickered either way, so probably wouldn't make much difference...

Yeh, I only the car for a couple of months. So never noticed projector was out, cos all the other lights work.

Yeh, my mate reckons you don't even need start the engine.

But they said I could also get a 150$ fine for headlight not working, so I didn't want to push it.

How much does an inspection cost? Which one should I book it into?

i think the inspection cost has rised upto 80 dollars these days? and make sure there is no leak what so ever in the engine bay cause they are picky on that stuff and also make sure ur engine number is seen on the block cause they hell picked on me for that b4 ! lol also if u got coilies set them to the softest settings. hope that helps :wacko:

Not sure if there alloud to rev the vehicle, But hay, pritty sure there also not alloud to tell you that your parents dont love you anymore, But they still seem to do it!

My advice, DONT get vocal with them, it'll land you a nice spot at east perth lock up ( cries a little ) Not a nice place to be, trust me!

Anyways, Sorry to hear about the sticker. Trust me, you'll look back on this and laugh, I had like 3, or 4 stickers on my old sky, and i giggle like a little school girl everytime we brang it up! Bite the bullet, get things fixed, and curse and bitch about the cops at home, even make horrible little voodoo dolls!!! HAHAHA!

Go to either Gin Gin pits, or Midland, They passed my sky who knows how many times on its hole and with a cracked window and duck tape holding one of my intercoola pipes on!

Kels.

It will cost you $83.30 to have the inspection done on your R32. You can pre-pay and inspection over the phone by credit card by calling 13 11 56.

Welshpool & O'Connor inspection centre operate on 1st come 1st serve basis. 1st inspection 730am.

Warwick, East Perth, Midland and Kelmscott operate on a booking service. Phone number to book in is 1300 782 713.

Make sure the yellow sticker (defect notice) does not pass the "expiry date" the cops write on it. If it does pass the "expiry date" you will only be able to drive your R32 to the inspection centre, provided the registration on your R32 has not expired.

Handy having someone from the DPI on here for exact prices.

Yeah just clean up all the engine bay and that, make sure your not too low, make sure all your lights and that are working, make sure your tyres aren't bald and your immobiliser is working.

Thats about all. Just generally make sure its legal. If you still have all your stock parts laying around and they are in decent condition. Just swap them in when you go over, its easier.

Tyres & the light you will have to replace obviously. What bov do you have? Would have to disconnect it or take it off & block it if it's an atmo. You might need permits for the gauges if they are above the height of the steering wheel, block and vision or possibly in a head impact zone if you were to have an accident. I'm guessing you might because there is 2 but I've only got 1 in mine, don't need a permit & the engineers report on my car explains why.

They can ask you to open your bonnet & it's best to comply because pissing them off isn't going to get you anywhere. As for them revving the engine, they aren't allowed to be or look inside your car without a warrant or permission. I've had one cop do that to me when I already had a yellow & there was nothing else he could get me for, he was 2 seconds away from being told to get out & close the door before he just stopped looking & started talking shit. I would have made him get a warrant if he wanted to keep looking, because both of them were smart arses. Personally, if anyone is going to rev my engine, I am.

Making a booking for somewhere will be the easier thing to do, otherwise you're at Welshpool or O'Connor lining up & you could be there for hours. But do that asap because they could even be booked out for a week or 2 & I'd be suprised if you've got longer than that on the notice.

Ok, car now has legal tread all round. Head lights work properly, indicators are now orange and legal. Boost is stock.

Ride hieght is now legal. 100+mm everywhere. Crazy quiet 2.5" zorst is on. GTR BOV is now plumb back. Painted my HICAS lock bar black.

Tomoro a quick degrease and off to pits real early.

Car is rego'd with RB25

My expiry date is the 13th. Tomoro will be the 8th. Get in early. Good friday/monday .... oh noes

The gauges are on the a-pillar. I have two. Aparently danger to my face if I crash.

Any other advice

PS: will they pass a car with diff front and back rims. Do the tires have to be same brand, profile etc all round?

It should pass with the different front/back rims as long as the tyres arent FAT or HUGE lol or anything like that....also as long as the rim doesnt stick out from the guard.

But yeah you should be ok :P

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      By Duncan · Posted

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
