A few of my favourite news articles

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/07/24/2635156.htm

Headline "14 charged in police operation on hoon, drink driving"

First words "Fourteen people are facing drink driving charges"

and http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...9-12377,00.html

Headline: "Cops nab 216 hoons in less than a day"

"Of the 216 motorists caught, 14 drivers exceeded the alcohol limit,...Another 85 were caught speeding with 16 exceeding the speed limit by more than 25km. Other offences included 29 drivers using their mobile phones and 20 people not wearing a seatbelt."

So drink driving, talking on a mobile and not wearing a seatbelt is hooning?

Saw a silver R33 getting pwned last night by 2 cops on motorbikes at Fountain Gate.

I went to all the hot spots last night, drove home along Princes Hwy, through Dandenong etc. and still didn't get pulled over :down: Gotta love not driving a Skyline some times.

was getting a pizza from Mario's (noble park, on princes hwy) last night. The amount of cops travelling up and down princes hwy at 12 was crazy. Although there was still hundreds of modded ford, commo's etc driving up and down.

Saw like 3 cars get pulled over. One was a black monaro which sounded mental.

F*** me, I went to Knox lastnight to pick up some protein refill and I saw a WRX pulled over by a cop inside the carpark. I was thinking 'poor bastard' as I drove off. I had no idea they were blitzing the area...only today I heard announcements on the radio. Lucky I didn't get scrutinised because I drove right past them.

It's stupid to say someone is stupid for going to a blitz area...we don't all listen to the pop music radio or watch the idiotbox. Driving with illegal modifications...yes, that is stupid. But as we all know there is a fine line between legal and illegal that a cop can find if he/she really wants to.

Pettit is just a tool. Cop suffering from a severe case of short man's syndrome and clearly a chip on his shoulder for whatever reason. Wouldn't surprise me if he could only ever afford a Hyundai in his first driving years because he seems to chase after all these young kids who have forked out dollars on their rides. There's a reason he's well known amongst SE suburb car enthusiasts - he clearly exploits every EPA law available to find something wrong with the car. I'm willing to bet 95% of cars on the road could be canaried if you wanted to find something wrong with it. Many complaints have been lodged against him but who in the ranks would get rid of Knox's biggest revenue raiser?

actually Pettet used to drive a pretty sweet Subaru WRX back in the day (like about 5 years ago) the reason everyone gets shitty with him is cos he knows imports inside out, cos he's a fan of them. so playing dumb may work on the regular coppers, but with him it won't.

I guess he's the Darth Vader of the import world.

'pretty sweet' as in illegally modified or what?

dunno... but what he does off duty shouldn't really matter :rofl: he's just enforcing the law.

Hmmm - too much unwanted attention. This is the main reason why I drive the jazz at night these days.

and here I was thinking it was cos you were of the gay.

'pretty sweet' as in illegally modified or what?

i heard it was really modified - infact so modified, that pettit used to EPA himself, and have arguments with himself as to why he shouldnt EPA his own car......

now he is taking his anger out on the rest of the society.....

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
