Posted this up earlier to day but the forums were down and it didnt make it. This is a shortened version believe it or not.

I was driving in Brissie last night maybe around 4ks over the limit tops, and I saw a cop with a gun. I didnt even bother hitting the anchors because i was hardly speeding. The cop put his gun down as if he was going to let me pass. When i got about 10 metres away from his, he must have seen the fmic and pulled me over making all the cars behind me come to a very abrupt stop. Then he directed me to cut across 3 lanes of traffic while all the cars waited.

I got out of the car and walked to wards him and he told me to turn the car off, so i pulled the keys out locked it and went back but the tt was running. He said " i said switch it off!", so went and did so. He started telling me that my exhaust was too loud. I said that as far as i was aware it was within the legal limits. He was telling me that as soon as you make the car louder than what it was when it came out of the factory, that is a breach. I kept questioning him on this, being quite nice about the whole thing, because every second car you see these days has an exhaust.

I asked the cop where i could go and get the car tested and as soon as i did he went a bit quiet. He told me and then said it costs a bit of money to get it done. I asked him how much and he said 20 bucks...whoopdi doo. Anyway he wrote me a defect for, and i quote, "Drive vehicle with modified silencing device which reduces effectivness". The really funny thing is, is that i have an atmo venting bov, an unenclosed pod filter, a gauge higher than the dash, a hand controller for my wol and no indicators on the front bar because of the recent fitting of the front mount!

Im not going to get itr tested because i will prolly get pulled up on those things. Ill pay the 45 bucks and be done with it. If have complete and utter respect for QLD police and the fact that they have a job to do, (even though some o them are bastards), but this guy had no idea...

Stupid tosser. Driving home a month ago, about 11pm on a cold night. Sitting at a set of lights to turn left, I see headlights coming so I wait for the car to cross the intersection before they turn left. They go real slow and my green turns red.

So I sat there and on the next green waited for the car to cross the intersection so I could turn left. I then saw it was a cop car and he flashed his lights at me to indicate I should turn.

I did this and he basically tailgated me down the highway until I put on my indicator with the intention of zipping up a side street. Wrong move. The cop chucked on the lights and was a total tool to me. I had my window down and wearing only a tshirt I was shivering and he asks me "Why are you shaking???" and I go, "Um because I'm cold maybe".

Should have said I'm a strung out junkie and my stash is in the boot, want me to pop it for ya maayt?! This shut the twit up and he then proceeded to try and chat up my girlfriend and tell me that this kind of car is "trouble" and I shouldn't drive it late at night. Tosser!

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By dyl33 路 Posted

      Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
