james, put ur car in ur mums name - wont be taken from u then

i know heaps of ppl that do this and the cops get pretty annoyed cos they cant take the car

unless its a 3rd repeat offence on that vehicle - then they can

sorry to tell you this kamikaze but in real fact the police can confiscate any car that is in your posetion at the time of the offence, (eg if your driving your mums, brothers, dads, cousins GT3 porsche for the night and get done doing hellies, your screwed, they will take your car and make you walk home,,, i seen it happen and know who it was and whos car it was at the time)...

just to conclude this story i had to wait 3 months for my car at wetherill park police impound.......

When you see two different police cars (i.e. Falcon & Commonbore) flying down the road with their lights flashing and the sirens on, they aren't always chasing the bad guys... sometimes they're chasing each other....

Bummer about getting caught, but it's a risk you face and you've obviously taken it and been stung before. At least you're accepting that you're about to get reamed :D

We all have a squirt now and then, but I try my best (and, er... mostly succeed) to save anything significant for the track. Even getting pinged at 20 over will lose you your licence for a month these days, it's pretty farked.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
