Wouldn't normally create a thread on defects because it's a shithouse topic, but I'm curious as to how many people from here (if any) got pulled over yesterday for inspection. Seems to me they were having a blitz around the Wantirna area because a mate got done yesterday by the same Knox TMU car that got me earlier in the day. And no, it wasn't Pettett.

Also saw a few modified cars pulled over yesterday on the way home from dinner lastnight, bonnets popped.

I drove through Knox yesterday (and nearly every other day for the past 5 months) and still had no hassles.

The only time I've ever had a run in with police in that area was when I was parked at a school at night (looked suspicious) and they realised that I was driving manual on an auto license.

I guess I'm just lucky.

A couple of my mates got done over the weekend, I knew this was going to happen so my car stayed locked in the garage.

So much for the big crackdown on drink drivers over the easter break...trust the coppers to grab anything they can. Rats.

Left the GTR parked in the garage over Easter. Figured it would be safer given the bad press imports get.... especially over the break.

AU Falcon?

I thought they would be a little old for the police by now?

I got pulled over on monday. I bought the car 2 weeks ago with a roady and still copped a fine for 300 buck for drivin a unroadworthy vehicle.

Only reason I didn't get defected is cos I was on my way to the airport and was in a rush.

It was a RBT on Kellets rd near stud. There was a couple of skylines there getting done too.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
