You must have had your baseball cap on backwards-sideways or some other blatant hoon behaviour.

Fight the powers!, I hope the judge gives the cop a serve for clogging the legal system with such frivolous crap.

What a joke.

i also said sorry for taking the courts time for such a small matter - the judge seemed to appreciate that

because our cars attract attention. and becuase half the skyling drivers in the world are wankers that drift and skid on public streets?

it's shit, but it's easy to see how the stereotype came about. and let's face it. 4/5 imports pulled over are probably defectable.

The other scam they pull is not having a spare tyre in the vehicle.... They tryed to pull that on me. I explained to them that I would take the fine and see them in court explaining to them that it is not a defect and they should pull over the new BMW's, Merc's and VW's as they come with a can of spray as the spare or a flat tyre straight tyre out of the factory....If you have a spare it must have legal tread (doesn't have to be pumped up) if there is no spare they cannot do a thing... Helps when you worked in the industry....They decided not to give me the fine and did a RBT instead funny that.....

talk to your lawyer, thats what you've paid him for.

I have never been to court before, but presumably whenever you were going to ask for another 2 weeks, just say something like "the police have failed to provide me with the documents that I have requested and am legally entitled to and as such has wasted another one of my days, and more of the courts time. I wish to ask for the case to be dismissed so I dont have to waste more of the courts time in dealing with a bogus offense."

again, talk to your lawyer - i may have it all wrong ^_^

Thanks matey

Unless you kick your lawyer in the arse and get him moving he will be quite happy to drag it out as long as the cops want to. Remember, He gets paid every time he does something on your behalf.

he may have you convinced that hes on your side but believe me, He isnt. He is on his side.

oh nice

my lawyers ok

he advised me he doesent have to attend to adjournments to save me $$$

but i dont mind spending the money to see how this all pans out

it will be good for all of us to take a look at the system and decide if it will be worth fighting that misinformed bigot cop

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
