WOW You got reemed pretty good! What cruise was it? RCK? Anyone doing burnouts on the cruise? Someone must of reported to the Police about burnouts or something for them to raid the place and defect you like that...

It was the All Car Cruise "ACC" no there wasn't much activity of people being silly or doing burnouts. I was speaking to a police officer today who was at the raid on Saturday, as we always have police coming through our work. He said that all they were there for was to keep and eye on everyone, and to do sorta a police escort for us as there were so many cars, but when the police chief wanted to speak to the ACC leader person, the ACC leader apparently told the police to f**k off and then the trouble started. So the police said thats enough, gloves off, and thats when all hell broke loose for everyone.

that does not surprise me the slightest.

Nor me. So the ACC leader insults police at a cruise. Everyone suffered because of the cruise organiser? More than enough reason to stay clear of ACC. They're on SAPOLs shit list.

Getting my R33 back together to go through regency after the defect, how do they take front mount intercoolers, its a pretty neat setup, the piping has been cut through the wheel arch, but its only as big as the piping, with a insulation between the pipe and hole. The clutch fan has had the tip cut off the corner of each blade to allow for the piping to clear the fan. Will i have any dramas with any of this, apart from that the car is pretty much back to stock again. Thanks

I had worn the tips off my fan from it hitting my intercooler piping, I then snapped the rest of the bits off. They can't really see it so no one said anything. As long as the intake pipe isn't floating around in the engine bay it shouldn't be an issue.

Details stat.
so your all cleared? thats dope if you didnt have to go to regency!

yep , for a small price of $26.50 :P

sounds rather interesting mitch.....care to elaborate in regards to what happened/went down????

so i borrowed wheels off Lewis (volk34) and got an adr approved steering wheel, raised my coilovers up , put stock seat in and made the car appear stock

took it to the cop shop and was just like "oh hey guys i got defected for tyres and my horn not working, fair enough on the tyres as it was the day before pay day and i couldnt afford them but the horn was just a fuse which i replaced 2 hours later"

cop said "ahk mate gimme a sec ill get someone from traffic to come help you out" , last time i heard this , i got told to touch my toes and bite a pillow so i wasnt skeptical :P

few mins went past and an older guy comes out and asked what can he do for me , told him "hey mate just wanna get my car off defect, its ticked as minor but also ticked as vehicle inspection, was just wondering if you can take it off as its only tyres and steering wheel , this is the wheel i had on there and its not illegal"

cop; "ahk yeah lets go have a look at the car , where is it parked ?"

me; "out the front to the left buddy"

walks out there , asks if he can look in it , opens the drivers door , spends not even 10 seconds looking in it , then just looks up n down the car from the side and goes "alright mate come back in side"

at this point im like shiiiiiit im gonna get another sticker

go back in side and he messes around on the computer for a couple minutes , im shitting myself at this point haha

few mins pass and he gets another cop , now im packing it haha

few mins go past , yadda yadda yadda

cop "alright mate that will be $26.50"

/hands over debit card

cop "that saves ya the stupid $150 + fee that regency charge ya"

me "im glad that your committed to your job :), thank you so much for being helpful"

cop "thats alright mate, have a great weekend"

me "sure will matey , you too ! "

if only more cops were like that ;)

I'm currently taking bets as to how long Mitch will last before the next defect

currently the popular bet is on <7 days :P

*if last night was anything to go by...

must be that bright orange paintjob that the po-po think means 'kick me square in the nuts' :(

-D

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
