anyone up for a drift session tonight in the scarborough police station car park?? just a though

Next weekend the boys n girls in blue along with our friends in the road transport department will be going out on a little operation to target

" young people in hot cars"

they will be targetting imports , as they have had a training session on what is illegal and what is not

what is an import and what is not !

and mainly other hot cars and stuff

so if your going out next week remove the nos and put on the silencers as i hear the yellow stickers have been printed in bulk

P.S typical knee jerk reaction of cops after pathetic media coverage of the 'race scene'

its over next week and the long weekend , so yeah just keep it cool and dont attract tooo much attention

P.S.S have a friend in police traffic

P.S.S.S will be next weekend targeting all hot spots scarbs , freo illegal drags (which apparentlygot sprung last week and stickered plenty)

P.S.S.S.S will also be the following long weekend

Oh great, more cops wasting DPI Inspectors time.

No doubt 90 percent of the cars they sticker will go straight over the pits and get the sticker removed.

On the up side its nice to see someone admit that until now theyve had no idea what is illegal or not... so much so that theyve needed a training session to find out.

actually u'd be suprised how much they do know. I've seen cops in action at scarborough and most times what they sticker for they are well within their rights to. Its up to the car owner to get permits for modifications on a vehicle. Face it most owners dont "know" what is legal or not they only think they do. If they did know then they would realise pod filters arent legal unless in an enclosed space or fitted correctly and then issued a permit for by pits.

my 2c on it. :P

Got a friend with a crazily modded GT4 Celica. He got pulled over by the cops and they lifted the bonnet to have a look. He asked what they were looking for and they said boost controllers. He replied he didn't have one. They left him alone. What he didn't tell them was the motec handled boost control anti-lag and water injection. They had no idea. It was also running avgas and no cat.

Summoner,

Then why do most of these so called illegal cars pass over teh pits first time, many without a single modification from the moment it was stickered?

This is the issue I have with police not knowing what is illegal or not. Sure, owners need to get permits and most of the time DPI will tell them whats required and help out in that regard. But im sick of cops claiming something is illegal on the side of the road when its clearly not.

Like my brother being asked to turn his fog lights off at an RBT in his 180SX. He doesnt have fog lights. The cop threatened him and said if he didnt turn them off straight away hed be fined. Once again my brother reinforced that they were park lights but the copper insisted they were fog lights. With cars banking up behind him the cop had to resign in the end.

I mean if they cant tell the difference between fog lights and parkers then i gotta doubt their knowledge of car legalities.

So for any police reading this, 180SX's DONT HAVE F&*CKING FOG LIGHTS!

    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
