Tom,

ps new HSV's have the butterfly valve for exhausts, they arent "high end cars". a lot of people cannot afford high end cars.

As with ABS and powersteering, the technology eventually becomes available to more as it gets cheaper.

How isn't a HSV "high end"??? bogan royalty!!! New HSV's arn't exactly cheap either though...

Here is some revenge on the stupid government that is killing the car seen! Even though its not cars I just saw it and laughed. Thanks to the PM the economy is going down hill. So they need squeeze money from car enthusiasts to keep the government alive.

Bullshit. People have been getting defected simply because its an EASY WAY TO MAKE MONEY. It has NOTHING to do with the hoons, the hoons story is just the icing on the cake for them to put it on top to make a shit idea look good. The public probably doesn't give a shit if people are getting defected for exhausts, window tint, etc. But show them these people racing in a tunnel then have the government claim that that is why they are doing it and BINGO. Something the public will jump on side with.

You want me to honestly believe you have driven through any tunnel in a skyline and NEVER EVER given it some stick to hear the sounds in a tunnel. If you can HONESTLY answer that you haven't, have a pat on the back and sell your skyline.

How can you be a skyline driver and be so f**king boring?

I really doubt there is many, if any, here who have not genuinely given there car some stick to either A) hear it, B) feel it, C) show it.

poor Bernard!

well, serves him right for crusing in Surfers Paradise! haha

Tom,

When paying rent and utilities is more of an option than an obligation you end up with cash to toss around. Mind you what's a 2 year old hsv worth these days - 40k give or take?

The bugger has got an exemption for no reason, its a load of crap. Deserves everything he gets, considering the fact that he was probably violating the terms of his exemption anyway.

Really harsh there, considering we don't know the whole story... I really love how the news crew was there when they originally pulled him over... so not set up at all.

How can you get an exemption for no reason? In the film clip I see a V8 Range Rover and the M3, both need an exemption for a P plater to drive, legit reason for him to have an exemption is he doesn't have a non Pplate exempt car to drive, hundreds of others have the same exemption.

And this statement is a bit of an Oxymoron " considering the fact that he was probably violating the terms of his exemption anyway.". Fact and probably in the same sentence.... :glare:

Tomic should have gone home after the first incident unless his exemption is valid and him getting caught the second time was within his exemption conditions. Although chances are the cops are right.

umm I'm sure he had an option to buy a car that was not turbo or 8cyl. pretty simple right? people taking the piss on laws (or thinking because they are famous or have money that they can ignore them) are exactly what makes it so much harder for normal people.

for every wanker like that, the rest of us have to work 10x harder at being good

There's a lot of bitching in here but has any one had any dramas over this operation?

I am not real happy about it but have to take my car up to Syd tomorrow to drop off.... Hoping if I run into them they'll take pity on the blonde with the ACT plates!!

Just bat your eyelids, and giggle a lot.

You'll be fine....

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
