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......

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
