Sorry James, thought mike might have told you about it... Not to worry tho, its been ajourned for a month or so, so if you want to help (and legal advised allows it) then there is plenty of chance.

it must have seemed real insensitive when i called you yesterday to ask you that favour, but i didnt know then, honest.

No worries at all matey, you werent to know.... besides... cold air boxes are more important.

Oh and i bought bubba home with me.

But i'm not contesting anything the cops said, not even their report, i'm merely adding an account of events that happened out of view of the police.

I have been there before with different circumstance but something slightly similar few years back (not speeding). Basically the court system basically doesn't allow you to plead "guilty however extraneous circumstances", you are pleading guilty to the charges presented, or you are pleading not guilty to the charges presented.

There is no "guilty.. NOT" its more like "not guilty because...". Sounds pretty much what happened in this case. You will either have to plead not guilty and take the risk that if found guilty a charge will be recorded against your name, or pleading guilty and having the option not recorded as a conviction for being a traffic offence (which is possible)

In most situations (me included) people end up going most of the way and end up going for the latter. Police prosecuters know this too.

In your case there is the option of the cop reconsidering their position, you speaking to them personally and hoping they will drop the charges. Highly unlikely (and maybe not even possible these days as the laws have been changed.. i think it once was), as cops are stubborn buggers - but I think its possible. You can also take some legal advice and offer to speak to the police officer directly and talk over the situation in detail and offer to apologise. Sometimes the human approach may work. Really, again that comes to the cop and their own view on the whole thing. Are they the hard ass that believes that everybody should be punished (the traffic cop mentality) every single time, or are they more reasonable (most beat cops who may be doing traffic duty are like this).

I'm abit baffled tho, The charge sheet ways speeding over 130 and dangerous driving. and has a account of the events from the cops.

Now the judge said that my account of the events was not the same as that of the police hence is not a plea of guilty to the charges and the police stated. But i'm not contesting anything the cops said, not even their report, i'm merely adding an account of events that happened out of view of the police.

Welp... That's well and truely out of the league of anyone on here unless they have been to law school.

You're right. Time to go get legal council and some proper advice.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
