just back from the city coppers everywhere in city and on freeway

was at the lights next to a copper on his way home (personal car) so i thought best to drive sensibly along the riverside expressway with the copper just a little ahead (I had 4 drunks in the car)

I had this black 33 with lightning airbrushed all over it come up beside me, gating me trying to get me to race... he eventually took off like a shower of shit passed the copper blowing a flame prolly into 4th, cop sped up to get his plate i guess wonder if he gets a visit tomorrow

soon after i had a D car sit on my rear quarter for about 15 min doing bang on 100 they eventually got over it an sped past to annoy someone else

ill say they wer out.

i got done. $150 defect. no points

un shielded pod, bov, 4 tyres (my bad from dori dori weeks back), wheel, a pillar gauges.. despite all of that the cops wer nice bunch of blokes. at the end we even had a long chat about the force. looks to be a promising career.

PS they didnt get me for too low leakin coilover 2way diff cooler no reo no spare wheel and jack and tools.. and the 2 cops wer smart blokes.

so im gnna buy new tyres like i needed to weeks back. put the R34 GTT wheel on rewire gauges. block off bov. and make heat shield. that ontop of exams yeah easy done.

2 a pillar gauges apparently are safety issues. steering wheel is a chrome face nardi which has no padding. again an apparent safety issue. and the pod filter "has to be shileded 80%" so he said. i did argue to the point. but they wer being nice and didnt wanna make em mad. and my tyres wer bald all round sooo u couldnt see the wear indicators.. :(

meh

oh and this was at 11pm on the way home from a charity staff party. lol bad things always happens to me.

but was lucky he didnt see my rear end clunking and locking away with the 2way.

pillar guages are only a safety issue if they impair your vision. normal sized ones (boost guages, etc.) are fine. steering wheel.. bleh fair enough. Pod filter, hes full of shit. i understand why you didnt want to argue too much if you had the other parts of the car that were defectable, but i get pissed off at dumb shit cops handing out incorrect defects.

the pillar mounted pods are in the head impact area, hence a no go

fark it. as much as i love driving my 180. ive only had issues on saturday nights and this only in the last few months.

and every time it was me doing nothing wrong. i do my crap at the track i drift ther not on the street. ...its quite shit.

issue #1 cop staring me down at the lights at 1am coming home from party he said "im coming for u tomorrow morning"

#2 coming home from friends place. pulled over questioned bout some skids done up the road by some commo.

#3 went to park and got hassled by police.

#4 coming home from charity staff event. 11pm defects and they pulled me over for no reason. they RBTd me went over my car and canary'd me..

lesson is dickheads making the scene shit for us proper drivers and we recieving the wrong end of the stick.

so weekends will see me bring the liberty or the other 180sx out.

Striker: Pods were an unsafe issue for me cause they were not safety glass....

and my pod was not secure didnt say anything about being unsafe.

and as for the wheel i dont have padding on mine, but then again the stock steering wheel didnt either.

if a pillar gauges are defectable then what about all the people who mount their gps units at the same place?

and the JDM S15 has a single 3inch boost gauge on the A pillar

i dnt like pods to be honest. i find the airbox is efficent enough. on GTRs it is. but my 180sx didnt come with it..

a box will be nice but.. wher do i buy thin sheets of aluminum..? bunnings..?

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
