Did anyone see the s14 200sx on the m2 from 7.20am till whenever the cop finnaly finished going over the car (this morning 09.07.2010). The 200 was a dark greyish colour with a white widebody kit. It had massive deapdish chrome wheels with rubber stretched so hard you couldn't tell if it had any. The ride hight was pretty much on its belly and there wasn't any mufflers on the car either. what was this guy thinking? Surely he saw it coming?

I saw that car on Pennant hills rd the morning of the big blackout at around 7ish and followed it down Beecroft Rd.

All the cops doing point duty at the lights were just shaking there heads at it :P

I said to my workmate "I wonder how long it will take him to gat defected"

Each to there own but IMO that car looked rediculous, the driver seemed pretty proud of it though. It was bloody loud too

lol! sounds like reaper

Thanks for the kind words and your concern. Wasn't too bad in the end just a few fines and a red sticker. I was actually only driving it to drop it off for paint after work but oh well. It is a track car so don't bag me out too much :blink:

Not yours by any chance Jay? lol.

I saw it at St Ives Chase where i live.

I was in my black 33, it came past and the driver decided to kick the clutch...

mean power...but not sensible for these roads.

keep it on the track please.

Yeh..it was on its guts, Grey with white wide body kit.

Dont remember which day it was, i was coming home from work one day though.

I was wondering what that guy meant by reaper. Fair enough if its not a daily and you just wanted to take it for some work. Unfortunately your car stands out like dogs balls for the cops so your chances of making it there without a defect were pretty slim. All you need to do is add a muffler and raise it a tiny bit and you would probably be able to pass on the road without hassle. Can you post pics?

sorry I dont have any decent pics yet ill definately take some once its painted

wheel specs are 18x9.5 -36 front and 18x11 -15 rear

ill be increasing the front camber as its a little under whats ideal for me when drifting at the moment so that will bring the fronts a bit further under. its not actually all that far out though :D

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
