the rb20 will probably drive all around australia twice on the redline the entire way without blowing lol. I think most motorbikes have a longer stroke haha

still, hopefully they are dumb enough to keep driving it and they catch them.

Import_zone on hardtuned wrote in their spotted thread that he had seen a purple 32 yesterday in the hills and has spoken to police. He/she wanted someone on sau to pass on the message. Hope the car is recovered mate!

What id like to know is how come we all seem to not be able to pull out the driveway without being pulled over for a defect, yet these criminals can drive around numerous times using the stolen cars to steal more imports...and not get pulled over?

Am I missing something other than a balaclava, set of screwdrivers and some tool kit to keep in the car that guarantees to not get noticed by the local on duty?

Cant answer that, but I can say from my own experience that I've been pulled over twice in the 4 years of owning my GTR and using it as a daily driver.

On both occasions it was a bretho and licence check, and I was sent on my way without incident.

I suppose upkeep, keeping it stock and not driving like a tool are the 3 things that have helped me, however I do worry like everyone else, especially since my exhaust is loudish...

-D

I can agree with you there dohmar. My silver paint helps but when your car and driving style doesn't scream 'street racer' you don't have much to worry about. I've never been pulled over in a year of GTR ownership and daily driving.

Ive used my car as a daily in the past, and the last time I was defected the cop was pulling out of a side street as I was coming past in the front of a pack of traffic. The cop basically raced, weaved and then stuck his lights on behind others to get to me specifically. Once he looked over my car, even commenting on how clean and standard it was, chose to defect me for less than 5mm too low. I wasnt driving like a moron, nor do I have any large bling on my car. Its as stock as a rock for all intensive purposes, and well kept.

Those are the police I refer to as **** who dont do their jobs.

Cops just rand and said the car has been found with no plates and shit and they have poured power steering fuid or something all through the inside so will have to see how bad it is when I get it back tomorrow!!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
