lol and how much are new factory bov's gonna set me back??

just took her for a little run and it was shocking!! bov's constantly chatting, and goin no where

this special task force "if" used correctly could be a good thing.. target the big carparks at really late hours.. usually where the trouble goes down.. got a feeling alotta unmarked random cars will be cruising around for the next 3 months

The news that car crushing is coming is a concern but i think the bigger problem is the fact that they are going to make drag racing a criminal offence not that i condone it but what constitutes drag racing on the streets . this is just another open ended law that has so many implications .

^ agreed 100%

i support these laws to a certain extent, as long as they give true, law abiding car/bike enthusiasts a fair go.

give said true enthusiasts a place to go, and then crack down on those flamin mongrels who do not use it.

hey, if old codgers didnt have a place to play lawn bowls, they would complain they had no place to enjoy there hobby yeah?

same thing..... sort of :P

dont worry pete, its ok to be old and play bowls, i wasnt picking on you mate :)

last night in the news the cops had confiscated a ferrari in Melbourne for doing something like 213kmph......i mean just wtf was that knobhead thinking......i know its a Ferrari and melb has a number of tracks too

Is that the Ferrari California that was clocked at 231Km/h in Perth? If so, car was impounded for 7 days and was supposed to be used by journalists for magaizine write ups.... I think!

I thought it was in Melb....well my brain wasnt working properly as i had a long day....

but yeah it was that one

;)

:)

you know im just playin, your not old mate....... just alot older than me. :)

please dont spank me with that ban stick..for what will i do with my spare time....

seen a BA falcon this arvo with very very small led's in the rear window,15'' RJR el'cheapos and two plain clothes in it.

maybe part of the task force?

heard the news last night that the mobile speed camera units wont be having those "Speed camera's save lifes" sign near them anymore.....so they are going to be more like spies....Pete got anything to do with it :banana:......and they are replaceing all windows with shatter proof laminate....as there have been reports of people throwing rocks and all sorts at the officer sitting inside lol

cause getting rid of the signs is going to make them infinitely harder to spot.

i mean, late model ford wagon, dark colour, illegal tint, louvers, and a couple extra ariels, generally illegally parked. yup. will never be able to notice those.

yeah i like the fact you mention "illegally parked" as most of the times they are...

oh no....no signs what are we going to do.....didnt they used to put the sign miles down the road once you've already passed the speed camera

Gotta love this.... I thought Speed cameras were meant to save lives! Ha... the whole idea of the sign was meant to get people to slow down. Guess they really just want to collect the cash then??

yeah, its pretty transparent really.

a sign makes adjusts my right foot better than a fine 6 weeks later.

oh yeah that accident was caused by you speeding....but you are going to learn your lesson 6 weeks later when you get the fine in the mail.....peanuts for brains i say

Taken from another car forum I'm a member of (cant post link because it wont let non-members in)

Hi Guys,

Just letting everyone know to be very careful driving around. There are new cameras out that read your registration plate. If your car is registered as a 'performance vehicle' you are likely to get pulled over soon after driving through an intersection with this cam...

Matt (Colt45) got pulled over down the bay tonight. The cop told him about this new camera that Matt had driven through, and since his car is registered as a performance vehicle, the cop went over his entire car. His car is a brand new Ralliart Lancer, no mods.... I am guessing that we have a few rexy's etc that are going to fall into this category, and with the mods that I know some of you guys have, I dont think that you are going to be as lucky...

Just got off the phone to Matt then, the cop explained to him how the system works.

Basically this box is placed a few hundred metres down the road, and scans number plates once you drive past, it sends your details to the data base and lets the cop down the road waiting know, that your vehicle is a performance vehicle and that he/she should check it out.

Matt drove past the box, few hundred metres later cop flicks his lights on and stands in the middle of the road. When asked why he was pulled over, was told "your number plates have been scanned and has come back that its a performance vehicle and we should check it out to make sure its all legit"

Big brother stuff......

latly ive seen the latest fashion for the police is to park their cars down poeple driveways at night, with a camera..

seen one next door, he just pulled up and sat there for abit, then left, is that legal? like just pulling up in someones driveway?

another time i was going to work and two cops were just parked on a road taking up both lanes, so i stopped infront of them and waited for abit, then i flashed my highbeams, they ended up moving.

like they complain about hoons, but what about them?

and cop cars arnt hard to spot. maybe if they took off 100 of their anttennas of the back window, or had lighter tint, or not parked in stupid spots.

anyways, i heard in melbourne and perth they drive done up rexies and skylines and try/provoke people to drag, then after they pull them over.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
