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...

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.

      Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
