Anyone else turn up to the last minute meet today? When I got there it was just me and an SS Commodore who went through two red lights to get there. I didn't want to be seen around that kind of behaviour so I left after he issued me with a minor defect notice.

Defected. No fine or NOU, just need to drop in on the pits for an inspection when I get the items changed. Cop was pretty fair/nice about it all and he could have got me on a few other things, but the targeting / chase down and subsequent blocking of one lane on a major highway to do so was pretty ridiculous given I was driving more sedately than anyone around me. The surrounding traffic must have thought it was a stolen car or something.

Saw a white R33 pass me while I was on the side of the road, anyone from here?

HIDs. Yeah minor, but fark, aside from inconveniencing me half an hour I gotta change the item and then find the time to go to Vicroads. I'd sooner have paid a fine for speeding and not have my time wasted doing all that. No reason for being pulled over other than it being a Skyline. Story of the import driver's life.

over 24 hours and no moron has come in here and told adam he is over reacting and that skylines dont get picked on... weird...

Usually people who have never been pulled over when they were doing the speed limit, by a cop who did a U turn or ran a red light (or two) to do so :cool:

Paraphrased quote from someone on here who got defected by the same car as me on the same day and contacted me in regard to it: "they said every Skyline they pulled over today expressed that they are car enthusiasts and not hoons." Whether that's in a good or bad sense, fact remains they were pulling over Skylines left, right and centre for the sake of it. I'm not whinging about it because I knew when I bought the car that it had this kind of stigma about it - but yes, anyone who denies Skylines get targeted is kidding themselves lol.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
