Was driving home last night from oakleigh, driving on princess highway at around 11 30pm or so i see a shit load of imports racing, drags were on so i decided to just follow and watch. Anyways i stayed for about an hour or so just watching until i decided to go home, on my way home i get pulled over by a cop in a motorbike, this is the first time ive been pulled over. Cop asks me if i did a U-turn back on princess highway, i said no im pretty sure i didnt. Goes back to hes bike for a good 10 mins and fines me $180 bucks no demerit for a U-turn i didnt do =s I was beginning to think the whole skyline cop bait thing was just a rumour =[ atleast i didnt cop any points so im not fussed that much lol.

Very true not into that alternative nonesense myself

it's not alternative anymore.... I just cant listen to it for fear they will rape my ears with aussie "hip hop"

You just keep telling yourself that...

oh yes please do let me hear the 'aussie rap' I'm fascinated by the tales of hardship and despair it must have been tough coming up from the hard streets of Australia.. straight hustlin no doubt. hustlin all the way down to centrelink to collect benefits that would rival minimum wage in other countries that mind you work is actually required to obtain.

and the bogan twang yeh just aint gangster.

smoothfm is where its at. #realmusic

You're going to pay a fine for something you didn't do?

yeh thats car life for ya.<br /> <br />fkn sucks would only ever buy someone else hard work if i got another import doing it yourself is a fools choice too expensive to many headaches.

<br /><br />Yeh I know what you mean, next import, ill just pay someone to modd it..

Yeah im just going to pay it cbf with the headaches of taking it to court.

I did do U-turns but i did them where i was allowed to. There were signs that said no U-turns 10pm-6am i went further down and did them where i was allowed to. There were heaps of other r33 silver skylines, maybe he got me confused with someone else? When he asked me if i did a u-turn i said no, he went back to hes radio and got more info.

Id be pissed if i lost points but i didnt so im happy lol.

Bullshit chances are slim to none, I've contested 2 fines in the last couple of years. One of them went to court, they didn't show up and so it was overturned. The other I was actually in the wrong I sent it back saying I'd contest in in court and it was overturned just off that.

anyways, i filled my car up full tank with 100 octane, counted how much i got out of a full tank, i got 350 km with the needle being a few mm away from hitting the completely last bar, probably could of lasted until 375-400 but i didnt wanna risk running out of fuel lol. Im guessing my cars drinking alot more then it should? Any ideas on getting better fuel consumption? I was driving it soft changing gear around 3k rpm.

Most Aussie rap isn't about stuff like that, which is why many move to it from / prefer it to the American stuff, cause it's not just the same old "life was shit as a dealer and a killer, but look at me now, I got a contract and a Maybach, later haters".

That being said, even when the lyrics are "woe is me", you don't have to be black and growing up in Detroit/Brooklyn/Crenshaw to have a hard upbringing. Plenty of abusive families, violence and homeless people in Australia!

How many litres did you fill it up with? I'm guessing around 50 litres, in which case that's pretty normal economy for a Skyline. And if it hasn't been done, changing the oxygen sensor can help your fuel economy. But I wouldn't be bother if you net around 400km from 50 litres.

A light will come on when the needle is near the E and you'll still have 20km or so left. It's a 60 litre tank.

I dont hate aussie hip hop based off the life... I hate it cos it SOUNDS shit.

every group just sounds like the hilltops no matter how much the fans try to say it doesn't... and since the hilltops sound like an audio track of 2 men open mouth kissing.. that pretty much rules out aussie hip hop for me.

Yeah not of a fan it sounds like arse either way.

Fair enough if you don't like the sound/accent/production. That was an acquired taste for me, but it helped that I was relatively bored of US hip hop by then...even the less mainstream acts like Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, old Lupe Fiasco etc. Aussie has a backyard relatable quality to it that you can't find in rap from another country; also helps if you mix with people who like it too.

It might sound or look silly, but in the same light, so does an Aussie kid in his car, rapping along to a 50 cent song about American landmarks etc.!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
