anyone see me pulled over, bonet up, by one of those flashy highway patrol cars on westal extention/princes hwy sunday at about 5:30:D:D come on, im hangin to get spotted, alot of people were lookin so there was bound to be an SAU'er who saw..LOL

first time its happened to me, reason was;

"we pulled u over because of ur exhaust. someones done a terrible job on your piping, you should have a word with the guy who did it"........cant remember the exact words but something along those lines.

i have a dual N1 exhaust(not that they would know) and one of the pipes bends way out and sits low underneith the diff but thats the way its supposed to be...LOL

didnt have my license with me so they took my details down and then asked me to pop the hood step out of the car to make sure they dont scratch/damage the car while they do their check which i thought was pretty considerate. did the typical check for shiny bits in the car and bald tyres, jumped back in their patrol car, ran a check on my details, gave me thumbs up and i was on my way again:D

the exhaust thing was just an excuse to pull me over but it goes to prove that if your cars up to scratch then theres nothing to worry about. probably helped that im not on my P's:D:D my respect for the police has gone up a knotch:D:D hope future encounters will be the same

Didnt see you dude but I went to knox tonite with a friend of mine and guess who was out and had a 180SX pulled up with the bonnet open???.... Our good friend from the knox police station Officer Pettet in his shiney silver XR8... Too bad for him I was in my dads Lexus SC430 so i made off without him noticing!

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
