Everyone askes about the air deflector...helps the wind to blow over the sirens and reduces distortion when using the PA.
Brrrrrrrr! WRONG. :(

I got OW3NED bigtime over at nissansilvia.com when some guy told me it was a bug deflector... I thought it was for wind, but he was right in saying it's there to keep bugs off the windscreen for persuit purposes. Please don't argue with me on this.

I talked to a retired police sargeant (one of our students) and he confirmed that it's a bug deflector, even showed me some police internet site explaining the exact positioning and angle of the "Bug Deflector" for various models of police cars Crown, RX-7, GTO, GT-R etc.

are you serious...not convinced that is the sole purpose, I will have to ask the cops next time.

Yes, I reckon we're right about the wind...the bug deflector is going to serve that purpose anyway...in keeping bugs off by channeling the air over the windscreen, cause I can't see it blocking much if you said it was head on.

エアロブーメランタイプの散光灯に、ボンネット上には高速隊特有の虫除け板を装備する。

And translated: Equipped with an Aero boomerang type siren, with an insect repellent board especially for high-speed persuits on the bonnet. The single rear-view mirror also has an added suction cup type mirror.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
