Took the car with the new suspension up to the pacific highway.

What a nice road and almost no traffic up there, except for lunatic bikers and the low speed limit :laugh:

After that pie in the sky place, i just caught the glimpse of a highway patrol way ahead.

He pulled over to let me go in front...oh no...after the next corner i pulled over didnt want him following me! for the next 15kms. He stopped behind me dammit..

First he checked my tyres..

Him: Why are your tyres sticky?

Me: Are they? Hot day?

Him: Why did you catch up to me?

Me: Were you going slow? I wasnt going that quick.

Him: Is it turbo?

Me: Yes officer.

Him: Can i see your licence?

Me: Here you go.

Him: Can you open the bonnet, i want to see if you have an external wastegate.

Me: :D Whats that?

Him: Goes on to explain, i tuned out but he knew what he was talking about.

Me: Open bonnet.

Him : Is it stock? It looks stock.

Me: Yep.

Him: I am concerned about your tyres being sticky. Take it easy dont kill yourself...and drives off.

He wasnt too bad, no attitude or anything, but then im not 19 either or even close! ;p

Girlfriend: Why did you get another skyline... oh no now im in trouble....

He was driving a marked patrol car....

As for the wastegate? I dont know why he was that specific, just an excuse to have a look maybe.

Yeah, that's my guess too.

Despite common belief, a lot of police are actually excellent and aren't out there to F&%k you in the arse.

obviously you've been polite and respectful which is what you should be and also the reason some people have troubles... they're not.

although, I can say from experience, there are some police that are just bulsh*tting arseholes.

nissky arent u running the standard bridgestones that joel put on them?

why the heck would the tyres be sticky, wouldnt it be better if they were sticky, more grip,

"dont kill yourself" why the hell do all cops think we're gonna kill ourselves driving a skyline.

I think the skyline is alot safer than someone driving a rusted old piece of crap that will fall apart if it gets in an accident. Ive seen plenty of those on the road every day.

Still its good to see the police are trying to keep the road toll down on the pacific hwy. I've heard that external wastegates are the major cause of accidents along there!!

I'm sure he coulda been more of a dick and picked u up on something but it still begs the question why did he bother??

EDIT: Oh and eugen, pretty much anything u do to your car can be defected. Boost controller, pfc, fmic, aftermarket suspension, wheels the list goes on....oh wait...now i'm not sure if u were joking?!?! My bad if you were :laugh:

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By PotatoCake 路 Posted

      The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan.

      Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
