Just got done for a defect notice.

now get this

got pulled over (900pmish) by a cop car, pulled out onto a 60k zone pretty fast (note: automatic late 80s magna, so not fast compared to boosted jap car or v8 or even a six) and accellerated to 60. Before I knew it I had disco lights behind me, so I pulled over to a closed service station and idled. The cop (duel cab rodeo pady wagon thing) did the NYPD "drives infront of my car and parks with lights on thing" and the two cops get out. me and my mate are just sitting there giggling like kids at how american cops influence our cops, its not like i was going to do a runner, they came over, made me turn car off and HE TOOK THE KEYS AWAY FROM me i was still giggling and didnt really notice... Anyway, I was my polite self and there was a young chick (early/mid 20s) [note: "bad" cop] and an older guy [note: "quiet/good" cop] Now

1) young chick demands I get out of car

2) old dude asks for licence and am I familar with the 'car impoundment laws' i said no, he left it at that

3) start checking my car, chick tells me to get to back of car, i (which is true) said I have been RBT'd and car checked twice in the last week she also told me to turn lights on, so did {car off the guy cop (smoking a ciggy) had my keys} so parking lights came on, then she asked for the headlights on and im like "can i please have my keys back then? she got the keys and tried to start my car. took her a few goes to get the immobilisr (she didnt want my help!) she even said "is the car in gear?" its an automatic in park dear.... " that shut her up. she also told me to put my foot on the brake (so she could see the brake lights) i go ok and shes like mumble mumble

4) old dude FIRES UP A CIGGY note: we are at a closed service station, like 1m away from fuel bowser

5) inspect my car, i ask the chick "what have I done wrong" she says "you know what You have done wrong" im like, uhhhk

6) asked to pop bonnet, i say to old cop "yeah mate, shes pretty standard, no mods" he goes, yeah no worries chick says IM NOT HAPPY WITH THE BATTERY im like "er dad had it for two years, best mate is a mechanic, they dont have any problems with this car" then she fired up and said "IM SICK OF YOU TELLING ME WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK" im like yep ok, your putting in your 2cents and im putting in my 2cents ok [in a polite way] hahah i was getting nervous

anyway they go back to their car (in front of me) and start writing stuff. I got a defect (nothing else) for damaged front bumper and 2x cracked lights (which were ok by every other cop who pulled me over the last week)

anyway

to top it off they didnt read my licence right, and put my old address (didnt view the sticker on back) and on the defect. they also but my name as the owner of the car, which is incorrect its under another family member

now to be honest i would only dispute this to piss the hell out of the big-head-i-got-a-cute-face-but-im-a-****ing-bitch young chick, but seen they made so many "unprofessional" errors, can I stand my ground? I found the whole matter quiet humourous. Im like "yeah whatever im a polite smart ass" my mate is pissed as in the passengers seat, the cop chick is a nasty bitch, and the guy cop is like "yeah whatever i dont care im happy lets go".

btw im in WA

sorry if it didnt make much sence but but you get the gist.

all in all, she had a huge grudge, its like ive been boning her younger sister or something

ahaha one of lifes experiences

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
