We used to own a HJ Premier (308)... When at department of transport at McGregor in QLD I was in DOT getting my learners while my other half ran to the car to go home to get something I had forgotten.

While andrew was walking back to the car, a copper was standing near the car just looking over it. He asked andrew if he was the owner and he said yes. The copper commented that they were a machine in there days and ours was in perfect condition. He loved it.

There are some cops that admire lovely cars and some that are just arseholes... The arseholes are usually the Constables just outta the academy that think they are top shit because the are a cop. The nice ones are usually the older ones that have been in the service for 20 odd years and aren't so hung up about being a cop.. To them its just a job. There are some really nice cops believe it or not (I've worked with many) ... But as i said.. there are a fair share of arseholes too.

You have to remember that they are just doing their job... although going to the extremes of having our cars taking away is a bit over the top...

And that Glen Miller guy is just what the media wanted.... An absolute tosser... He makes people like me sick... It scares me to think that there are actually people like him out there in out society.

I've always wished that there was some way that I could get in on the act at work and have say for people like us that just enjoy our cars and dont mind a good little squirt on the freeways every now and then.

sounds familiar NismoGirl

my cousin used to own an immaculate black ford cortina, cops used to pull him over just to ask if it was for sale or not...

that thing was an animal, ran an unhidden NOS setup that the cops noticed and appreciated...

i think if anyone has a gripe against cops its just the minority that ruin it for everyone else

just like car modifiers, which today tonight has so f*kn kindly demonstrated to us

:uh-huh:

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
