Pulled into my local Mobil last night, To find the Cops in there XR6 turbo grabbing everyone who came in to either roadworthy, breath test and license check people.

Its a bit nasty, all you want to do is pull in for fuel and you get canary'd. I saw a few guys parked looking a bit upset with a sticker on the windshield, and you've never seen so many people in new SS commodores slowly sneaking out up the road not revving above 2 grand.... Thank christ I was filling up Mums Festiva :wassup:

A petrol station isn't "private property" due to the fact that there is public access.

And as far as I know, Police can defect a vehicle anywhere, including in your driveway.

I understand this to be true as well, as long as there is no gate or fence etc. Doesnt mean its right tho.

Where is this servo? Is it a Quix?

remember to lock your gates tho, coz if its open they don't need a warrant, just like your house, if you leave the door open they can enter without a warrant

:bs!: Doesnt that mean they would never need a warrant because they could just walk in as soon as you unlock the door to see who it is?

They must have a warrant or your permission to enter your house.

It's also one of those jurisdiction things...

If you have a pound of weed in your glovebox while you are driving, it's free and clear for prosecution. They can search with provocation.

If the car is parked in your garage and they have no warrant, it's forfeited as inadmissable.

If you have the pound of weed sitting on your dining room table as the cops come in on a non-related matter, it is admissable as a incidental seizure.

I can only see the cops getting more and more cavalier in their approach towards modified cars so I think we're all eventually forced back to more stock performance cars like M3's, s2000 etc.

if the door is open and unattended and they have reasonable doubt as to your safety they can enter :) technicality

Technically, if you leave your door unlocked, anyone can walk in without permission.... and if you assault them or hurt them in anyway, then YOU are the one at fault. If someone wanders into your house, you can ask them to leave, but until you have asked them to leave, theres absolutely nothing within the law that says they cant be there.

The law is a very strange thing.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
