Hey guys, just wanted to share a little incident that happend to me while up in rye with my cousin n friends. 2 nights ago went to sorento to go to this club, later on i decided i wanted to drink so i asked my mate if he could follow me back to the house in rosebud to drop off my car and get a ride back with him, so we left...we got stoped at a booze bus..all was good got tested and left no questions asked...then as we are passing rye i saw a tmu parked in a bus stop..and as a passed him i saw his headlights turn on and he pulled in onto the road and at that point i knew he was coming for me..anyways i got pulled over (im on green p's, friend was on red p's driving a old commodore) him and his partner get out of the car and he goes to me, "turbo is it" i go yeah its turbo, then he says are you ment to be driving a turbo and i go to him yeah i got my p's before the new laws came in. then he says well isnt this a rb25 and its too powerful? i tell him nah its heavier then usual because its a limited edition skyline, and i show him the rego sticker where it says Tare 1530kg and then his like yeah those stickers are always inaccurate, then i say too him well check out my weighbridge papers it says 1540kg and his like oh ok fair enough then good work on keeping those papers with you ( even thou i chucked in about 150kg worth of weights when i went) then he tells me to pop the bonnet, he spots the after market bov and his like ohh you have a after market bov do you..im like ohh really i thought that was stock because when i bought the car the guy said its all stock (obviously i knew it wasnt coz i put it in myself) then his like you also have an after market intercooler..so therefore your car is no longer the stock performance...in the end he said "im going to go back to the station and do some research if you mod you car does it come under high powerd vechile. but whats weird is in the end i didnt even cop a defect notice....and i also had a blitz boost controller that stood out like dogs balls..

Even smarter starting a thread on a forum, which the police are well known to read, and admitting in your posts to lying to the officers face and falsifying information.

LOL, imagine the look on his face when the epa letter also includes a print out of his post, now that would be funny.

yer i kno that would be hiliarious lol...because he didnt mention anything about recieving a epa. just a fine if anything. so i guess it would be really funny if i did :P

Hang on, you are driving a car over power-weight, lied to say it isn't over power to weight, now are gloating on a forum about it? We all know rego sticker numbers are lies.

Rye TMU are rather nice, Been RBT'd a couple of times before when staying down there.

does not matter what he said, if he see's this the easiest thing he can do is report you to the epa for blowing smoke and then you need a full epa test no questions asked.

I think you won't get an EPA...although the BOV is consider as an EPA issue...he did not mention anything about an EPA, so the likelihood of you copping an EPA is low. You were lucky...I think you were polite and acted nicely so he let you off the hook.

Just sit tight for another 3-4 weeks...if you don't get anything before Christmas, you're off the hook!

yeh it paints a good picture of us...

A good pub story mate but that's probably where it should stay. The others are right about posting the finer details up not being a good idea. You'll be lucky if you don't get an EPA in the mail...the cop might have liked you / your story and with any luck you'll get off. But a friend of mine got pulled over by a cop who said his exhaust was too loud and to change it...thought he had gotten off with a warning, but no, EPA in the mail. I got a fine for crossing double lines in the mail because the officer couldn't be bothered writing it out on the spot.

I agree with above posts...

Getting away with it is one thing, but i really dislike gloating....especially when its from the youngens. No offence, but it does create a bad sterotype.

P.S: You dont need to be/have been pulled over to receive an EPA in the mail... :nyaanyaa:

So you falsified evidence relating to your car to make it legal for you to drive and then post that information on a public forum along with all the information required to identify you should someone from the police read this? You might want to edit your original post mate...

You still might get the EPA notice in the mail mate. I got done about 2 months back. Full defect. A month and a half later the EPA notice came in the mail. Full emmision and noise test. If they do you for the boost controller and BOV then you will pretty much have to go back to stock as they check everything. It dont matter if you are polite or not. If they are not having a good day then they will do you no matter what. Did the cop take any photos??

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
