Hey guys, just wanted to share a little incident that happend to me while up in rye with my cousin n friends. 2 nights ago went to sorento to go to this club, later on i decided i wanted to drink so i asked my mate if he could follow me back to the house in rosebud to drop off my car and get a ride back with him, so we left...we got stoped at a booze bus..all was good got tested and left no questions asked...then as we are passing rye i saw a tmu parked in a bus stop..and as a passed him i saw his headlights turn on and he pulled in onto the road and at that point i knew he was coming for me..anyways i got pulled over (im on green p's, friend was on red p's driving a old commodore) him and his partner get out of the car and he goes to me, "turbo is it" i go yeah its turbo, then he says are you ment to be driving a turbo and i go to him yeah i got my p's before the new laws came in. then he says well isnt this a rb25 and its too powerful? i tell him nah its heavier then usual because its a limited edition skyline, and i show him the rego sticker where it says Tare 1530kg and then his like yeah those stickers are always inaccurate, then i say too him well check out my weighbridge papers it says 1540kg and his like oh ok fair enough then good work on keeping those papers with you ( even thou i chucked in about 150kg worth of weights when i went) then he tells me to pop the bonnet, he spots the after market bov and his like ohh you have a after market bov do you..im like ohh really i thought that was stock because when i bought the car the guy said its all stock (obviously i knew it wasnt coz i put it in myself) then his like you also have an after market intercooler..so therefore your car is no longer the stock performance...in the end he said "im going to go back to the station and do some research if you mod you car does it come under high powerd vechile. but whats weird is in the end i didnt even cop a defect notice....and i also had a blitz boost controller that stood out like dogs balls..

Even smarter starting a thread on a forum, which the police are well known to read, and admitting in your posts to lying to the officers face and falsifying information.

LOL, imagine the look on his face when the epa letter also includes a print out of his post, now that would be funny.

yer i kno that would be hiliarious lol...because he didnt mention anything about recieving a epa. just a fine if anything. so i guess it would be really funny if i did :P

Hang on, you are driving a car over power-weight, lied to say it isn't over power to weight, now are gloating on a forum about it? We all know rego sticker numbers are lies.

Rye TMU are rather nice, Been RBT'd a couple of times before when staying down there.

does not matter what he said, if he see's this the easiest thing he can do is report you to the epa for blowing smoke and then you need a full epa test no questions asked.

I think you won't get an EPA...although the BOV is consider as an EPA issue...he did not mention anything about an EPA, so the likelihood of you copping an EPA is low. You were lucky...I think you were polite and acted nicely so he let you off the hook.

Just sit tight for another 3-4 weeks...if you don't get anything before Christmas, you're off the hook!

yeh it paints a good picture of us...

A good pub story mate but that's probably where it should stay. The others are right about posting the finer details up not being a good idea. You'll be lucky if you don't get an EPA in the mail...the cop might have liked you / your story and with any luck you'll get off. But a friend of mine got pulled over by a cop who said his exhaust was too loud and to change it...thought he had gotten off with a warning, but no, EPA in the mail. I got a fine for crossing double lines in the mail because the officer couldn't be bothered writing it out on the spot.

I agree with above posts...

Getting away with it is one thing, but i really dislike gloating....especially when its from the youngens. No offence, but it does create a bad sterotype.

P.S: You dont need to be/have been pulled over to receive an EPA in the mail... :nyaanyaa:

So you falsified evidence relating to your car to make it legal for you to drive and then post that information on a public forum along with all the information required to identify you should someone from the police read this? You might want to edit your original post mate...

You still might get the EPA notice in the mail mate. I got done about 2 months back. Full defect. A month and a half later the EPA notice came in the mail. Full emmision and noise test. If they do you for the boost controller and BOV then you will pretty much have to go back to stock as they check everything. It dont matter if you are polite or not. If they are not having a good day then they will do you no matter what. Did the cop take any photos??

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
