This was a bit odd: Was driving home last night at 1am along Albany Hwy (60 zone) doing 75 when I noticed a car coming up behind me in the right lane. Didn't think much of it, and kept going. After a while, the car changed into the left lane, came up beside me and that's when I realised it was a copper! Doh!

I was still going 75 and was waiting for him to pull me over, but he just slowly accelerated and drove off... Phew! :D

(guess he just couldn't be bothered or maybe he was on his way home)

Weird how sometimes you get nailed for just doing 6 over and other times (eg. 120-something on Old Coast Road!) they do nothing!

Anyone else been let off the hook ?

Yeh that has happened a few times to me. Just when u think their gonna pull u over they dont. Trick is to slow down easy when they pull up behind u they are usually speed checkin so if u stomp the brakes they will know easy.

BTW: he coulda got u for riding the right lane:rolleyes:

How this for a funny but close one.

I was going through winthrop av/ stirling hwy near UWA and the light turns orange so i think waht the hey and go it. Drive down stirling and onto the freeway and turn off on canning then start going down kintail road and WHAM look in the rear view and low and behold a pig car right there.

Apparently he had to chase me all the way from UWA. All i can say is what a moron i wasnt goin that fast and it was an EB for gods sake.

Thought that was worth a tell seeing as i laughed all the way home and dam near in his face.:lol:

if you wanna rig up a switch, connect it to your rear numberplate light, hope they haven't seen the plates already, and they can watch as the back of your car dips and you screech off into the yonder

hmm...maybe not

you might end up on that polair program on access ;)

my h/brake doesn't work properly so I always pull that up to slow (unless of course full brakes are needed)

Bizzare incident i remember was when i was in my old R30 a couple of years back. coming down ranford rd near canningvale, a dark green vt pulled up beside me with pursuit rims, i looked over at him when he went past (sure enough he was a cop). He then looked at my car and floored it! so as a joke i did aswell! he then kept booting it until we reached a set of lights where he turned right, when i went passed him (by this time i had slowed to the speed limit), he just looked at me with a smirk on his face! i thought to myself - draggin' a cop! wtf!!?

My mate has a dark blue VT s2, darkish tint, pursuit rims, mobile aerials on the back window, no number plate surrounds... so when we wear our light blue business shirts and go for a cruise people sh*t themselves and slow right down....

works best on the ricers in Honda's, excel's etc :( oh, and P platers!

piss funny ;)

    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
    • hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
