Ok im not going to go into how or y i found this out, but i did happen to have a chat to one of the nicest cops i have ever come across. He told me that new legislation, lists "Designated Hoon Area's" and that we can have out cars confiscated just for being there during certain times (2-3 in the morning type thing) has neone else heard of this or was it just scare tatics?? either way the cop was really nice to me so thank you its nice to see they all arent out on power trips all the time.

Cheers

they would have to confiscate all cars or no cars for just simply being there...........

if they pick and choose when no offence is committed then it is blanent discrimiation. which is illegal and anyone convicted would have a damn good chance in court.

sounds like the cop either didnt know what he was talking about or got it confused with something else..........who knows........

The holding yard for "hoon tows" would not hold 50 cars!!!! and i find it very hard to beleive that 50 vehicle were ALL doin skids or the like at the same time. Seems your informant is pulling your leg dude.

By the way, hows the new 32 goin? heard you have already gone through your rear tyres :)

I got hassled after leaving the adelide police station, I was doing nothing wrong, I was even doing 50 in a 60 zone, I had to look back and see if I was in the wrong lane., but nah this cop was on a powertrip, and lucky for my friend walking past, who can be a witness(cops grabbed himd and checked his pockets) taht the cop was trying to consicate my car. All I had to do was ring Helen in J.A.B and tell her whats just ahppened and that cop would have backed off a fair bit.

Too right, so many police these days are taking the law and how its enforced into their own hands

I honestly dont understand how skylines can get pulled up everytime, but like old ass holdens and fords dont get nothing when in reality they probably havent had a break/tire/engine check for the last 10 years and could break and kill people.. yet we get defected for low front bars

what a joke

he wasnt going to pick or choose just said that if they wanted to which he didnt as he'd had enough of "us" over the last few weeks, he could confiscate all cars that were there under this new legislation.

Thats gotta be BS

I mean thats taking away our freedom,

Its a public place, we have a right to be there if we want to.

What if one of those occasional 40+ year olds that own nice skylines cruised there with his family just to go for a drive?

This is surely BS,

Especially certain places, like BWCP, ide love to see them try and confiscate at the peak of the nite .. like 500+ cars

What the hell is wrong with the police these days, dont they understand we are young and want to be creative and have fun, be unique and that we arent all crazy stupid hoons.

In the last few months ive hardly seen any stupid or 'HOON' driving from any skyline/supra etc

So what is there motivation for making these new laws?

I know its not figures, V8s are involved in WAY more accidents than skylines because of the simple fact that there is way less skylines.

We are a minority group, therefor enforcing a law solely on us will make little if no impact of road safety.

Police these days are absolute morons

Let's go here he says,

It's really good he says,

How come you got the nice one? Glenn and I got Mr Cranky Pants 2004...

Righto.

Actually I can tell you here, we did nothing wrong just drove through Magnesium Drive in Browns Plains at the wrong time. There were boggodore racing as we got there and they nabbed us instead. No real drama. I wouldn't mind so much if I was actually playing up...

yeh i saw a commowhore at Magnesium Drive neally hit a crowd of people, stuiped old vk 6cylender and not even lsd when to do a donut wat happens just does circles that got bigger and bigger until his front wheel hit the cerb and neally hit all his mates. after that we packed up and left.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
