Can they just issue defects on their "proffesional oppinion" or do they actaully have to measure it first.

I mean otherwise they could practicly defect u for ANYTHING even when the car is perfectly fine which is pretty lame.

I always thought it was more like, they find something wrong on your car and have physical proof of this (ie; measure the height, measure the db level etc). Then the car can be defected and u have to fix up the things wrong and get it cleared.

But it appears as though its more a case of the cop going "I think thats illegal, so i'll defect you and fine you", what if the cops opinion is wrong? what if ur db level is under? Your the one who has to foot the fine and waste your time and effort getting it cleared. that cant be right can it?

if they can visibly see that u have something defectable even if ur not there or in ur car u can still be defected.

the guy that got Aits old 32 had it done to him.

I know, i went into the persons driveway and onto the their grass and hid in the car for about 5 mins. So if the cop car went past he couldnt see my car.

Last week peak hour traffic on princess highway on the way to work i was near noble park maccas and saw a tmu scum bag in front on me on the right lane, so i pulled into the service lane and sat there for about 5 mins till he and me had a good buffer between ourselfs.

The shit we have to do in vic :thumbdwn:

jeez it seems that the way things are going, we're going to end up organsing safe-houses when cops try to bust skyline owners. If i ever see a skyline owner in my driveway hiding from a cop i wont mind

most likely will be me...

the night it happened i was kicking myself i didnt just take the next side street and check out but all that was going through my mind as 'what if i try to get away and he catches me?', i would have really felt it then!

Anyway, my car was back on the road the next day.... i didnt have to get the epa certificate, just got a full roadworthy and put the standard air box back on, put the silencer back in and reconnected the stock boost controller......

its just a waste of my time and money....... back when i was younger if i saw a cop do a u turn after me id just floor it and get out of there and was never caught, so much for trying to do the right thing!!!!

it is so frustrating having to put up with this crap from cops... if doesnt take much to realise what the majority of Skyline Owners is all about... If they only read the forums they would see that we are far from the typical twit that drives like a maniac on the road... i drive my car 7 days a week, to work, everywhere and only give it a bit of a squirt in a safe way, such as through first and a little in second.... i dont speed, i dont smoke em up at every lights and it pisses me of that we are treatedlike crims just because we have an interest in a powerful car!

i can accept that u get dicked for being an idiot on the road.... the problem is that because these cops catch one person acting like an idiot they think anyone with an import is in the same boat....

what pisses me of even more is that when this cop sees me again driving hoime form work, ill garantee he will pull me over time and time again......

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
