Hey guys,

So on my way to work this morning got stopped by the po po..

and yup they slapped me with a yellow lickey!

All they want me to do is go over the pits to get permits but have nothing wrong with the car!

i got pinged for my tyre gaps being too close low to the guards (dont even have coilovers)?? didnt know there was a law for it,

just thought there was a ride height law and the tyres clear my guards never rubs??

And also Blow off valve are they legal or not?

even stock turbo cars have a blow off valve. so they are not illegal to have on your car.

is it an aftermarket one?

i'm pretty sure even an aftermarket blow off valve would be legal as long as it is all plumbed back into the system and not venting into the atmosphere.

i didnt think there was a law about how close your tyres are to your guards either. i though you had to have a minimum level of clearance on the bottom of your car (100mm) in NSW i think.

it might have different springs on standard shock which would lower the height? not 1005 sure on ride height laws..its probably different in every state..might have to confirm with someone from WA

Is yours a white or black R34 coupe by any chance? I often spot both a black and a white R34 coupe around the Bayswater area going to work in the morning.

This is also where I 'almost' got done.

fix/hide anything you think your going to get picked on for then go over pits and hopefully things will be ok. cops make up there own rules to get you to got over.

as for the height, i heard that it has to be 120mm from the lowest point so it will be 100mm with full car and tank

dont mean to be picky BUT Stock cars dont have BOVs . . .they are called recirculation valves

This is why you guys need to educate yourselves and exercise your rights.

Gap too small between tyre and guard? I'd ask to be shown that law on the spot. I'd make the police officer get whatever book he can pull out to show me the law that I'd be breaking. Stand up for yourselves out there guys!

Don't just "turn the cheek" because you turn too many cheeks and you'll have no face left.

This is spot on and the reason i have never been given a yellow sticker even though having them look under my bonnet many many times....

Had the car over 4 years with stereo, FMIC, POD, low ride, zorst, EBC in sight all the usual mods you see and they try to find anything and i make them explain.... one cop even tried to get more for not having an accessable spare tyre until i proved him that it come straight out even with the subs in the boot un-moved....

know the law and question the police as they need to be able to back themselves.... and best of all record the whole conversation on your phone for evidence :) works a treat when you go show their supervisor that they are tools and have to appologise to you :)

FYI: they record you so you can do the same

Yeh not true. My mate got in a lot of trouble for recording a conversation with a police officer. What's more, when he took them to court, his recorded evidence was dismissed as it was 'not acquired lawfully'.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.
