yep so after havn my skyline for 6 months i jus got my first yellow on sat night.

my mum was driving it (skipperin myself and a few mates to subi), took off from the lights, very slowly and then cops do a u turn and pull us over..

so aparantly my headlight was out - tru, and just a globed

they used a notepad to check the height of my ride (1- mum parked up on the curb so it was angled 2- when i asked if they had a tape measure they responded with, nope dont need 1)

i checked the heights when i got home, my sides are 120mm, front 130, rear 130, so i believe im fine there

they said my front struts have been cut for the radiator... even tho its all bolted into stock mounts (sais my mechanic mate)

and BOV needs to be plumbed - fair enough

also they have asked for a DB test.. all i have is a catback, like the very back part of the exhaust, the rest is stock.. its not even looud and they wouldnt of heard it anyway as mum was driving like a nanna.

thoughts?

Your lights need to work

You cant have an atmo bov.

No idea what your on about with the struts.

Even if your car is legal height the bov/light is enough to get yellowed.

If your worried about the volume of the exhaust borrow a dB reader and check.

ah yer, i know lights needa be working - duh lol, and i know about the atmo bov

ive got new globe and getting bov plumbed properly.

prety much jus askn if there is anything else i should get checked before going over pits?

This is starting to get a bit common, never seen so many ' i got a sticker' posts in such a short time. for height , you have to get under your car and measure how far your exhaust is from the ground, gunna have to ba around 120mm minimum to pass

^, ride height is from the lowest part of your car, which could be your exhaust or your diff etc etc.

and do you mean the metal struts that go down infront of your rad support bar?

most of the time, if theyve decided theyre going to give you a sticker, your going to get it. if you argue about something, theyll just find another reason why its unroadworthy..

I must admit those cops on saturday night were so rude.....

And one of the coppers was saying that the BOV is illegal and i was like "umm no its not, that is a factory item" (he didnt know it was atmo).

Funny thing was, his mum was driving and we were like WTF....and these cops legitimately had NO mechanical knowledge.....

The Cops take anyone these days, they have really lowered the bar.

lol main thing i hate is that they didnt even have a f**king tape measure.. and they said "we dont need 1, thats what this notepad is for"

lol it was a fkn passport.. not a fkn tapemeasure. AND we were half on the curb, and they knew it

This is starting to get a bit common, never seen so many ' i got a sticker' posts in such a short time.

Agreed

The more reason for me to take the Camry out if I need to drive anywhere after dark on a weekend.

& to the OP good luck with getting your sticker removed.

    • Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.
    • Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.
    • Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.
    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
