No comments/considerations of the alternative for auto drivers (that regency wont notice) - nistune?

Admittedly, this won't work easily for R33 owners (without either using R32 and sacrificing VCT or using a Z32 ecu..)

I ran 14 psi once on my stock 33 turbo and it didnt last long.. not a very good situation to be in when it blows.. but i got it high flowed after =]. Anyone know wats the highest psi u can put on a 33 highflowed turb??

back on topic i used to run 14psi on stock controler usually saw 13.5

i also run a GTR pfc and vct is over rated

+1 on the VCT bit. Im still running stock ecu with an EBC maxing out at 14psi (still got ceramic turbos)... provided you're not on boost for aaaaages the ceramic turbos will be able to cope with the heat/pressure (fine for my daily driving but when I decide to track the car I'll be wanting new turbs)

-D

so im guessing just leave the hand controller at home or hide it in a bag in the car or something like that. not entirely sure how they work. but have only heard awesome things from them

run the pfc hand controller cable under your dash all the way to the right handside of steering wheel then bring it through the fuse cover opening and put a bit of doublesided velcro on dash next to steering wheel and place handcontroller there

then when you park/leave ya car put the hand controller back behind fuse cover and cover

And now SAPOL knows where to find them. :P

The last couple times SAPOL has pulled me over in the R33 they've searched the fuse box cover, aswell as ashtray etc. - nothing new there to them.

They are not allowed to search without a search warrent.

If you give them permission they are OK, otherwise they are only alowed to observe whatever is freely in view. (this includes under the bonnet)

Trouble is if you refuse to popther bonnet they may assume there ate defectable items, but they still need probable cause to issue the defect (ie I heard a BOV or other such crap)

if they are suspicious they can go through your car with no warrant. I was sitting in my car in a car park and cop car parked next to me and and went through my car, obviously lookin for boost controller soo.....

I know 100% that is not true, police can look anywhere they like in a car.

An extract from a legal advice given by Gilshenan and Luton Lawyers

When can the police search you?

The police can stop and search you (including your car or possessions) if:

• you agree; or

• you are under arrest or in custody (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, ss.23, 24); or

• they have a search warrant, which they must show you if you ask; or

• police suspect on reasonable grounds that you are carrying stolen goods or something about to be used in a serious crime (eg weapon) (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s.21(1)(a); or

• police suspect on reasonable grounds that you have (on you or in your vehicle) a prohibited drug (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s21(1)(d) & s.36(1)(e)); or

• police suspect on reasonable grounds that you have (on you, or in or your bag) a knife or a “dangerous implement”. In this situation police may request you to undergo a frisk search, or a search of your bag or locker. They can’t forcibly search you, but it is an offence to refuse a search for knives (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s.27); or

• if your car belongs to a “class of vehicle” that police suspect on reasonable grounds is, was or may have been used in connection with an indictable offence, or circumstances exist that might give rise to a serious risk to public safety and stopping and searching the car would lessen the risk (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s.36(2)).

• if police have been authorised to use their emergency public disorder powers, and you/your vehicle are on a target road or in a target area. The police don’t

Police Powers and Your Rights

Freehills Sydney\004524341 Printed 26 September 2008 (17:19) page 3

need any warrant or reasonable suspicion. They are not allowed to strip search you (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s.87J-K); (see Part 8 – Emergency public disorder powers).

3.2 Reasonable suspicion

In most cases, police can’t search you unless they suspect on reasonable grounds that you have something illegal on you. “Reasonable suspicion” is very difficult to define, and it is often left to a court to decide. A reasonable suspicion is less than a belief but more than just a possibility. It must have some kind of factual basis, and it will usually be based on a number of factors.

For example, the mere fact that you are in an area well-known for drug dealing will not usually be sufficient to raise a reasonable suspicion, but if police see you approaching people or handing something over to another person, they would probably have reasonable grounds to suspect that you were carrying drugs.

Simply objecting to being searched or demanding to know why you are being searched does not give police reasonable grounds for suspicion – insisting on your rights does not mean that you have something to hide.

Searching Persons without a Warrant

The Police Powers and Responsibilities Act permits police officers to search persons without a warrant.

The authority of the police to search a person without a warrant is dependent upon the existence of a ‘prescribed circumstance’. If a police officer reasonably suspects that a ‘prescribed circumstance’ exists. The prescribed circumstances in which an officer may search a person without a warrant includes circumstances in which the person is reasonably suspected to be in possession of:

a weapon, knife or explosive;

an item which the person intends to use to cause harm to any person;

a dangerous drug;

stolen, illegally obtained or tainted property;

evidence of the commission of an offence punishable by a minimum of seven (7) years imprisonment, which the police officer reasonably suspects may be concealed or destroyed if a search is not conducted;

an implement of housebreaking, motor vehicle theft or drug use.

Searching Vehicles without a Warrant

An identical set of rules apply to police searches of vehicles without a search warrant. A police officer may stop and search a vehicle, together with anything in it, if any of the above ‘prescribed circumstances’ exist.

When searching a vehicle, the police are allowed to enter, re-enter and stay in the vehicle as often, and for as long, as is necessary to properly carry out their search. The police also have the power to move a vehicle to an appropriate place for a search, in particular if it is impracticable to search the vehicle where stopped.

it's called probable cause (suspicion) which will alow them to search any part of your car without a warrant as long as they don't start dismantling (need warrant for that).

they usually use the contraband or weapon excuse to go to town on your car without your permission.

True, but you can challenge them on this. They need reasonable grounds, and it must have some kind of factual basis. If you were to politley point this out (without an attitude) I doubt they would want to challenge you.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
