pulled over by the 5-O, now no more boost control mod!!!


Recommended Posts

But, to the good cops reading this, pull me over if you like, just get prepared to have a nice respectful chat about engineering

You dont even need to finish high school these days to become a cop, so its pointless talking to them about anything other than what specials are on at the local donut shop as they wouldnt have a farkin clue.

if the car you bought was road worthied (i.e by a car dealer) with all the mods in it and you are pulled over and asked to remove modifications, does that the make that road worthy dodgy and hence could possiblly hit up the car dealer for those costs if any to make your car legal/fine.....

This is where it really pisses people off.

The law states that 'Your car can be considered unroadworthy in the OPINION of the police officer' so even if you get a canary and drive straight to a roadworthy centre and they tell you there is nothing unroadworthy about ur car you still end up having to pay the BS $165 fine because according to the OPINION of sum pig they think ur car is unroadworthy. This is just another law that helps raise revenue and gives cops power to just make up shit as they go along even if they dont know what laws they are trying to enforce!!

thats sux major balls... obviously if a hacertified person s asessd your car and said that your car is fine and road worthy then the opinion of the cop is flaud. Cops could just abuse there power and run riot. Hope fully there are good cops around that won't abuse there powers.....

i have a BOV and boost gauge mounted at A pillar.... haven't been pulled over yet, but when i do i'm prety sure i'm gonna get raped... :)

do u get points taken off?

ive seen it happen quite a few times, where a mate would cop a canary, even though he had the permits etc, and the guys at the pits would just take the sticker off and send him on his way.

i wonder what would happen if that cop would get enuff complants towards him?

its interesting how cops can have all their bullsh!t screens and sh!t all over the dash but because its in thier car its not a defect.

i can gaurantee that all that shit would be more dangerous in the event of an accidnet than an a-pillar mounted boost gauge.

Hey Skliner's, 'tis me, the guy who started this topic! (sorry)

Just as an addition to my original thread..............

My fuel economy......crickey's (I can now actually afford to buy a nice lunch!!)

Normally when I put in $20 of 'expensomax', I get 100km ($30 then 200km etc).

I've just hit the 150km mark on 20 bux!!!!

Boost went down to 7-8psi as opposed to 10-12 psi before I got pulled by 5-O.

I miss the thrilling take-offs, but maybe the money I save will get me a GTR front mount sooner than I thought I could!!!

Anyways.........what's better?......LineTake-off or money saved (simply put!!), potentially going towards more 'legal'(?) power in da Front-mount.

Da Muney or da Box?

    • Near 12mths since the last update apologies.  Car is back running and driving.  Have had a few runs at the drag strip also with a bit of success.  Managed to run tje cars PB with a 10.88 @139mph with a 2.0 60ft.  I have a stock 8hp converter and it's definitely too tight for my setup. But it drives on the street phenomenal. So happy to have converted from the sequential. Has made the car enjoyable to drive vs a what felt like a chore with the sequential.  Looking a at few different options for converters waiting for some feedback from SDE if he can do one for me.  Still a few minor things to work out regarding finalising torque reduction, I have it working but needs to refining.     
    • I honestly wouldn’t bother with this. They don’t hold up under any serious strain. Get the Blackline (Chinese fake Quaife) if anything, as it’s reported to perform pretty well. 
    • For future reference, I believe all that Amayama does is act as a middleman between you and Nissan. Go to your local dealership, ask nicely for a parts account (I get 15% off with mine) and you'll get better pricing. Cheers, 
    • Hi guys, I have a 2005 V35 skyline with the vq35de.  It is a drift car and has been stripped, its now running a standalone ECU and a body harness. Dash everything has been changed to a digital dash controlled by ecu.  The vq35de has been great, very reliable but wanting more HP atm the 35de is making 228rwhp. I'd like to be making about 350rwhp. From my research it looks like a vq25det lightly modified could be a good engine to swap in. I understand the CD trans will bolt up right to the vq25det with a 35de sump used.  My only issue is a wiring harness/ecu to control the vq25det, from what i've found the ecu is a lot different to the vq35de so my plugin for the 35de will not work. Is there any potential to use the vq35de wiring harness and modify as necessary to retain the plugin ecu?  Keen to hear what you guys think, or am I best off to chuck on a cheap turbo kit on the 35de and see how long it lasts.   
    • Oh sorry Justin! I was racking my brain trying to remember names, not sure why I associated “Adam” with 7tune! I’m good, been away from Skylines for over a decade, got family and kids now. Just getting back into owning a 32 but it’s a whole different world now… tax is higher and tech is better.
