Hi everyone,

I just want everyone to share their experiences with how the authorities see the V-series as it is becoming more popular among imports.

My number 1 experience:

(2-12-10) I went through a booze bus at night and was first on the queue. Lady officer looked at the head lights (stock), my rims (aftermarket) and ride height (stock), my rear privacy glass (stock), and told me to wind up my window abit to see the tint (no tint). After all that, it was fine. She was nice. ;)

Haha, yeah. You being the only car going in the queue must have turn more than 1 set of eyes. :)

For me, V-series are still rare cars to be seen on the road for authorities (like RX7, GTO, etc.), so sometimes that make them guess what this car is in front of them. But once they see the Nissan badge... ;)

dont think il b so lucky wid my ride height now. but iv got away wid my 8000k aftermarket HIDs b4. Wen i went thru a booze bus ( wen car was stock height). after i cleared the BT. I was asked to pull over nd had my license and rego checked to c if i own the car. He then tried checking to c if my car was manual cuz i had an auto license . Finally i was allowed to go. No checks were done on the car though Only mods were aftermarket rims and Greddy front bar.

Yeah, Steve. I remember you telling me about this.

When that lady officer checked my ride height, I remember you straight away. When she told me to wind up my window to see the tint (No tint), I felt lucky because I was going to go really dark before.

Glad I haven't done these things. ;)

that's really funny coz i was waiting in line for a RBT along johnson st, Sth Guildford...an officer from the patrol car behind walks up and the following conversation happened

Me in car with driver side window down and the officer peers through and looks at the passenger side window

Officer: excuse me, can I get you to wind your passenger side window up please

Me: Officer, it is up??

Officer: <wide eyed> ...ok....you've got legal tint

I drove off happy....but had a .02 reading.

Haha, that was a abit embarrassing for the officer. :)

Been through the booz/drug bus before but the cops never paid any attention to the car, just blew in the bag and then on my way

My cars got tint on the windows which matches the privacy glass in the back

Matches as in under 35%?

Also to note. The V35 is the main random car driving the streets in the New need for speed hot pursuit 2010.

Useless fact but it's also one of the desert run cars in the 2009 Fast & Furious.

Really Mark? I didn't about the Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2010. Can you drive that V35 or not?

Ive noticed the v36 doesnt even attract public attention. Unlike my last wrx which had everyone turn their heads, this car gets almost nothing, unless the person is aware of what it is.

I think it's still abit new and not alot of modified V36 in Australia yet.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
