Well again... the soarer has been defected...

-Tyres not complying with load ratings (it has the ceffy wheels on it until i get the tyres on the soarer wheels replaced as i got a puncture)

-Ground clearance (car has stock suspension but apparently the exhaust comes down too low)

-Exhaust (Too loud... had a chat with him tho about it and apparently i wont get an EPA notice cause its been tested before and they only test the soarers at 3200rpm unlike most other cars)

no fine... again... so thats cool.

i think this is the first major its had... but the 3rd canary

selling it anyway so i have to get a RWC regardless...

anyone want a loud defectable soarer? :P

funny thing was this guy had pulled me over before on nepean hwy because the front number plate was mounted to the left... he said he remembered and was glad to see i at least got that fixed up rofl

heh, just got pulled up then on kellets road in rowville, breath test, license check, and car check

'wheres the blow of valve'

me 'its pretty standard, standard blow of valves that aren't venting to atmosphere'

him 'trying to find tyre load rating placard in english on this thing'

another cop 'looks pretty low'

i just kept srugging saying i think its pretty standard (which it is kinda)...

he got the wheely thing out rolled it under my car, hits my mufler way to easy,

cops like no your about 20-25mm to low,

me 'really? i got it raised a month ago about 2 cm if not more since when i bought it, it was to low'

cop 'they raise it to legal height?'

me 'umm i guess not....'

they let me off - i have a pretty clean driving history maybe that helped... was nice to them and car is pretty standard, im thankful for that

my historys clean as well... minus one small fine about 2 years ago and the soarers std minus the exhaust, wheels and kit.

like what ash said... the dumb thing is (I HOPE UR READING THIS U TARDS) that the cops think they are puting us out and that fixing all this hassles us and that sooner or later we will stop modifying our far more l337 than their shitbox cars... WRONG! it takes all of one saturday and a few beers.... gives us something to do :rofl:

THANKS GUYS!

I was just waiting for something to happen driving my line last night. Especially after recent events.

Fortunately only saw one cop car, patroling local shopping centre carpark. They doubled back as i walked in to safeways, were gone when i returned.

Only pulled over once for 'random' stop this year.

Honestly i didn't notice what cars they were, there was more than 1, maybe 2-3? and they didn't pull me over directly, they had a couple of cars pulled over already, like at a booze bus, but there was no booz bus... were just normal cop cars as far as i can remember...

so sorry no heads up on what to look out for :rolleyes: it was about 9:30pm on wed night...

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
