Some drivers are just too childish to do all this to put other Skyline owners in the eyes of cops.

i was told it was 2 guys trying to catch up with the group of a cruise after a meet. One was an R35 (assumedly one with the 55km odo) and the other car was an R34 V spec II.

were caught 45km over the 70k limit.

was told by a guy that was at the meet but not at the cruise when this happened so this is just hearsay again but.

After almost a year, this case was finally heard by the Magistrates Court earlier this week.

To clear up any confusion, according to the police statement a maximum speed of 80km/h was reached by both vehicles prior to being pulled over. Excessive speed was NOT a factor.

After being offered and declining a plea bargain to downgrade charges from reckless driving to excessive noise, the case went before a magistrate and was promptly dismissed due to lack of evidence - the 2 officers didn't even bother showing up!

So after 5 trips to the Magistrates Court, both the co-accused and myself can put this behind us!

Also worth noting, the lawyer who's services I used was top notch - would definitely recommend him. PM me for details.

TL;DR: Cops offered plea bargains. Co-accused and myself declined. Went to trial. Cops didn't show

I've had the same shit happen to myself before by Police putting charges up without proof.

The system farken stinks.

Police should be made to them foot a % of the costs out of their pay. It would make them think twice before making up fanciful claims and wasting public time/money

Agree 100%. Between the co-accused and myself, we claimed around $11,000 in lawyer costs/impound fee refund. That is $11,000 that could have gone to many worthy causes!

Well mine only cost me $800 as it was a mate and the case was so open/shut type of wrong that it didn't even make it to the court room. Prosecution dropped charges the 'morning of' once they actually sat down and read what the Officer was attempting to get through.

It's the abuse of the system where-by charges like that can be brought about without any real review. If the prosecution clearly saw it as a farce, how it made it past the officers' superiors/review is utterly beyond me and just shows how broken it is that such stuff can occur like that.

Good on you for sticking up for yourself even in the face of excessive costs. If only more people did it and showed the Police they are not a law unto themselves on these types of things

The fact that the prosecutor made it very clear he didn't want the case to go trial says it all really...

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
