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!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
