I'm gonna agree that police officers in Perth are fair. Anything I have been booked for has always been something I did wrong, I've even had my fair share of "we are just warning you today MR Hughes".

However 3 weeks ago when driving home one friday night a got pulled aside in an RBT and the cop went over the car with a fine tooth comb. He picked on my "too hard" suspension and even asked me what my alarm siren was? It was when I told him that it was an alarm siren that he let me go. Musta felt real silly. I was very nice to this guy but lost respect for him after that.

Drkside, quite possible thats why they sent him out there, to check any cars that look like they have been modified - sort of like a defect station (as they have over east). did you end up getting a defect for the suspension?

Speaking of suspension, I just re-checked mine today, as I fitted new coilovers recently and wanted to make sure the heights hadnt changed too much, or unevenly, which can happen when springs settle and sag after you first fit them..... 78mm off the ground, min legal in Aust is 100mm. So glad the guys didnt pull out a tape measure, but now my car looks like a 4WD (its back to 100mm)

Officer "Sir, this time round I am going to let you off with a warning...."

Driver "Thanks mate! The last officer that pulled me over gave me a warning as well!"

He told me to make sure I get permits when I transfer the rego, as its a $100 fine for any mod without a permit

Are you for real? $100 per mod without a permit? I think the cop had a hold of your nuts when he dropped that on ya, thats the first I have heard of such a thing as this....

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.

      Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...

      If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.

      If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
