Oh yeah...

Done for too low (go the adjustables) - major

was pretty good about it all, the cop said, "you weren't driving like a dickhead... you've been really civil... i can see you look after the car..."

told me that i should check (but not written down on the defect):

1. exhaust vol tested

2. a non-convex mirror on the drivers side :confused:

3. check the load rating of the tyres (RE55s)

4. number plate moved

Nice guy all in all... and the best part - loved the car and didn't give me teh $165 fine!!

not a bad outcome, methinks

That sux man... where and when did you get defected??? I'm worried every time I drive my car now ;)

got defected coming back from tai-pan yum cha today along doncaster rd. Was turning off blackburn into doncaster toward the city, he was turning from donny to blackburn and did a lap and chased me down about 5 mins later... but what surprised me was that he had already called in a plate check and knew my name and address...

dayum

but you didnt get raped that badly.....

yeah too easy really... i actually said to him, "good timing as i'm pulling out the front shocks today to get them rebuilt"... which is why the car is now on jack stands in the garage...

will send them up to www.shockreco.com.au and then raise it and get the defect cleared at vicroads - too easy.

Don't even need a roadworthy ;)

Good to hear you came across a nice cop.

My thoughts are why did he pull you over since u were being sensible and all?

Is it simply the recent "lets pull over imports / round tail light cars and give them a once over" rule??

Very frustrating knowing that a skyline owner has a much greater chance than any other car of being pulled over for a random check for no particularly reason at all ;)

I too know all about this having been pulled over while driving home in peak hour traffic for purposes of going over the car. Didn't get a defect or anyhting and the officer was an ok bloke but it begs the question why was i targetted for no apparent reason and for how long will this continue??

Anyway it's great that u don't have to get a rwc and so u won't be incovenienced to a great extent ;)

yup you need a flat faced mirror on drivers side. bl with the sticker,  but good the cop wasnt an ass

what i don't get is... was Nissan Aust too lazy to change them when they did the oz delivered ones?

They were changed, on both sides. It is very strange that you do not have them.

I suspect it has just been replaced at some time in the car's life.

Ronin 09 you dont happen to have personal no. plates?

saw a nice looking black R32 in camberwell today (near evans pl.) that also had a defect notice stuck onto its windscreen

umm... yes, that'd be me... saw a movie yesterday at Rivoli ;)

that was 20 mins after the defect - and he almost made us miss the movie!

lol marcus

why do they waste our time so? its not like we find it hard to get rid of the yellow stickers.

sometimes i think we should have more rights as motorists when it comes to being pulled over for a "random checkup"

i bet about 5 rusty old fords with drum brakes all round went past and he didnt even batter an eyelid.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
