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..?

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
