Policeman - the defendant took off from the lights, smoked his tyres and exceeded the speed limit.

Defendant - he wanted me to drag him! This is entrapment.

Magistrate - and why should the court believe the defendant? Scumbag street racer - that's 6 years for you!

lol its sad, but true. no matter what, you would still get in sh!t for whatever you did wrong. andrew's right the police always win, even if you take them to court because of a speeding fine that they gave you when you werent speeding, if you take them to court you will be spending more money on lawyers and all that sh!t which could cost more than just paying the fine (taken from the story of a WRX in sydney who had GPS in his car which was recorded on his home pc which told him his speed at every moment and he was well under the speed limit... dunno if he won the court case though :)) but yeh youd be extremely lucky to beat the cops at there own game. heres some advice (dunno if it will be helpfull though, LOL!)

when the cops try to get at you, park it like its hot! (THANKYOU Snoop Dogg :rolleyes:)

BTW i saw a white SS cruising through that road out front of hoyts and babar last night between 11.30-12 and there were 4 guys in it (looked ethnic) the SS had really nice chromies and exhaust so i was just looking at the rims as they went past and this random in the back stuck his head out the window and just gave me the eye for about 100m i said to my friend WTF is his problem cause he looked like he had something he wanted to say, dunno if anyone else has seen these guys but the car is white with chromies, lowered, custom exhaust and has a green SS sticker at the bottom of the left hand rear passenger door. wierd....

It was blue, stock looking and stock sounding until he put his foot flat, but it was only a v8 with exaust and a auto. He also just missed another car also, I may have thought about running him but wrong time wrong place.

This one might have been blue actually. It was pretty late at night so might have just looked black.

Sounds about right for a commodore driver and his mates.

LOL, you guys should come out here. Every time I take my car out after dark in Wagga some Commodore picks me.

I used to care, I just don't anymore. I let them go home to their mates bragging about the skyline they dragged off..... even though I didn't even come on boost....

i remember there being a discussion on one of the national car forums i visit a while ago in regards to entrapment laws, i remember (unclearly) that there was some difference between NSW and ACT laws in regards to this. Would be an interesting thing to find out for sure.....

if a random person drives next to you and eggs you on and you race them off the lights - that's illegal (speeding up to the limit too quickly/breaking traction - which i'm pretty sure are two canberra road laws). it's no different if an undercover eggs you on, and you race him....

One of my mates got booked for 'excessive acceleration' from a set of traffic lights. This is another area of the laws i find a bit of a grey spot, as he did not spin his wheels or anything. So what is excessive acceleration if they can book you even if your wheels don't spin? This was in a HSV clubsport by the way (his dad's car)

excessive acceleration is exactly that, accelerating to the speed limit too quickly, when there is no need for it

Miscellaneous Road Rules. Part 18, Division 1, Rule 291

Making unnecessary noise or smoke

A person must not start a vehicle, or drive a vehicle, in a way that makes unnecessary noise or smoke.

Offence privision.

Example

Causing the wheels of the driver's vehicle to lose traction and spin on the road surface may make unnecessary noise or smoke

couldn't find anything on entrapment or excessive acceleration, but i'm sure it's there.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
