Is it just me or do the new members appear dumb these days...

No its not just you. Someones certainly been peeing in the gene pool.

Lads, the law says you cant play with your stuff or you'll go blind.

Just do as they say, we already get pulled over and defected for non-existant bov's why give the cop an excuse to fine you for a fart cannon or a body kit?

Wait til you get off your p's, mature a little and realise that its not all about big rims, loud exhausts and hectic body kits.

if the cops in VIC are anything like the ones in NSW....

do your standard engine internal mods...they wont know shit....but stay away from anything that might make a whole lot of noice or would stand out when they pop the bonnet ie, intake, exhaust etc etc... but skylines tend to get alot of attention from cops....expecialy when you have a P plate on the back

Look, let me say this: The P-plater laws have been around for years and have been tightened up in the last 2. Do your research and you'll find out all the information about these laws.

However, in general, if I was on my P's, I'd avoid doing anything to the car that would attract attention, i.e. adding wings, a big bodykit etc as to the average cop, if your car LOOKS FAST, it probably is and therefore you become a TARGET.

It's like driving around if a BULL'S EYE on the back of your car. I hope this answers your question. Up to you if you want to attract more attention for a Skyline as bad as it is already.

    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
    • And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
