Just wondering how offten you guys get pulled over.

I've had my 32 4 door for 6 week's now and have yet to have a cop follow me or pull me over. btw ive relised i got a head light out.

e.g such as

driving down road cop is on side road turning to same flow as trafic as me. would clearly see i have head light out but pulls out in front of me.

they see me turn on to same road as them dont bother slowing down, or if they have come up from behind they dont pull in behind me.

i thought i would have being pulled over or followed at least once so far.

I used to get pulled over and drugs tested without fail every time I drove my car at night, but that's largely stopped now.

Had a friend who lasted 8 hours after buying his dead stock 33 before he got the disco lights treatment.

Often Dean, with my hypnotherapy clients, I offer them the chance to record the session and use it as an affirmation at bedtime.

Mostly these days, the clients bring an iPhone, or some phone with at least 20mins recording time.

One guy recently brought in a cassette (since I have a recorder in each clinic - from way back when...)

When he brought it home, he said to his wife, "I don't know why I even bothered taping this. We don't have a tape player any more!"

Wife: "Yes we do. Would you like to know where it is?"

Husband: "Are you sure? We sold off all our junk at the last garage sale!"

Wife: "I know exactly where it is. Would you like me to tell you?" (goading him)

Husband: "No, no, I'll find it - I'll find it." (rummaging through 2x rooms upstairs)

Husband: (after coming back down) "I told you: it's gone out with the rubbish!!!"

Wife: "Uh, Uh... can I tell you now?" (needling him)

Husband: (rummages through 1 more room - then comes back down) "OK where the farkin' hell is it?" (yelling)

Wife: "Why not check your old BMW that you're restoring?"

Husband: thinks "Duh"

:P

your not giving your car enough gas around town and keeping under the speed limit too often.

my theory is either people call in with your plates or off duty police see the way some of these people drive then get them at a later date.

unless it's suspected of being far from standard or a defective vehicle whats the point.

It's not what you drive it's how you drive it.

I have owned a clearly modified black R32 and have been pulled into RBTs, pulled over 2 or 3 times and have never in my life recieved a defect. I got a ticket for a red light that I failed to beat once, but he was more than courteous and I definitely deserved the ticket. Don't be a dick and for the most part you will be fine. Remember that giving you hell is just making more work for the police officer.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
