Posting on forums is all part of the research :(

I missed the show though, didnt even know it was on.

research involves reading first asking questions later.

asking a turbo question in a thread on a tv show is done by retards.

Didnt the passenger cop the fine for no seat belt, atm the driver does not get fined for someone over the age of 16 (maybe 18) not having a seat belt on, how ever you will after november 1st.

Do the passenger get any fine? So does that mean if they hate you they can take off their seat belt on purpose so they can get u in trouble?

P plates + skyline = cop bait lol

Although when I had my NA R33, I only got pulled over once in 1.5 years for a "random breathe test" which was after following me for like 5km lol

It all depends on how you drive and where you drive it....

i think its what time you drive to, i drive very early in the morning when cops have nothing to do,

im sure if i just drove it to my 9-5 job n back wouldnt really be an issue

In the ten years owning my GTR times have changed.

Never used to get harassed by police and even was asked by a cop on a bike for a race to see if he could catch me lol.

I have never seen stupid, crazy skyline drivers hooning around. I have seen allot of p platters driving there car like they stole them.

It's an image that the media have put on us and also the cops are jealous because we have real cars that go, stop and out handle any falcon or commodore.

We some how need a better image. Maybe more cruise days?

I personally can't see the image of Skyline's being "hoon" cars changing in the eyes of police.

I think we all just have to live with the stereotype of owning one. If you drive sensibly, you'll be fine and that's all you can really do to help the image for the rest of the Skyline drivers.

But it just takes ONE irresponsible d*ck to ruin all of that.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
