Just keep your cool and speak nicely to the officer, chances are they will return the favour.

"Good Evening Officer"

"Are you aware you were doing 11km/h over the speed limit back there sir"

"I was unaware I was speeding officer, to my knowledge i was abiding by the law travelling at the speed limit. Do you have a radar reading I could see?"

..... and take it from there I guess.

Actually a police officer no longer has to "show you" his radar speed reading, that law changed end of 2003. Basically the whole law works on a trust thing, they pin you but dont have to back up anything with evidence, basically what they say goes and you can't fight it (speeding, defects, blah, etc)

"Just don't speed" :D Geez fellas, a bit above that aren't we?

Basically, if you get pulled over, be polite, but don't admit to anything. If you're asked "do you know why I pulled you over", you can either say "no, sorry" or "RBT?" or something like that, but don't say "yeah, it was for ten over... oh, and the donuts I did on Smith St" :D If they do decide to give you a ticket and you were in the wrong, deal with it and remain polite. If you did nothing wrong, take the ticket, mention that you will be contesting it for x reasons, eg if you sped up to avoid a truck, make SURE you mention the truck to the officer. If it goes to court and you suddenly come up with these reasons that weren't mentioned at the scene, you're much less likely to be let off.

The guys here are correct when they say the police don't have to prove you did anything wrong. Gone are the days of "innocent until proven guilty", these days if the police SUSPECT you of breaking the law, they can book you and then the onus is on you to prove that you didn't, or in the case of a defect, to show them your car after you have "fixed" the non-existent defect.

Yuu can get done for speeding by any cop with or without a radar. If you take it to court, you have a chance of getting off. But it will be your word against his. If you know you were speeding and the cop knows it, then I would say forget about fighting it in court unless you can pull some really dodgy shit (fake witnesses, a $1000/hour lawyer, etc). Because if the cop is honest and has a good record of winning traffic violation cases, then you will most likely lose and get stuck with a bigger fine/court costs. But if the cop is a dodgy pr*ck and has pulled fake tickets before, then the judge will see that he's lost a lot of these before and give your story more credibility. But don't count on this.

Cop: "Can u explain why that was neccessary back on ultimo rd?"

me: "Why wat do u mean officer?"

Cop: "How fast do u think u were goin back there?"

me: "About 60 officer i think"

Cop: "Bullshit son u were going like a bat out of hell!"

me: "No way officer, i was only in 2nd gear"

hahaha Only got a lecture that time.

and when i got caught doing 120 or so in a 60 zone

Cop: "wat do u think the speed limit is here?"

me: "60 i think officer"

Cop: "and how fast were u going?"

me: "about 60 officer"

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
