Hi everyone,

I just want everyone to share their experiences with how the authorities see the V-series as it is becoming more popular among imports.

My number 1 experience:

(2-12-10) I went through a booze bus at night and was first on the queue. Lady officer looked at the head lights (stock), my rims (aftermarket) and ride height (stock), my rear privacy glass (stock), and told me to wind up my window abit to see the tint (no tint). After all that, it was fine. She was nice. ;)

Same went through a booz bus on a wednesday night.... needless to say I was the only car on the road and 15 cops lined up, I thought thats it im about to get ass raped. But i counted to 10 and was on my way. I was a P plater as well and didnt get questioned. =D

Haha, yeah. You being the only car going in the queue must have turn more than 1 set of eyes. :)

For me, V-series are still rare cars to be seen on the road for authorities (like RX7, GTO, etc.), so sometimes that make them guess what this car is in front of them. But once they see the Nissan badge... ;)

dont think il b so lucky wid my ride height now. but iv got away wid my 8000k aftermarket HIDs b4. Wen i went thru a booze bus ( wen car was stock height). after i cleared the BT. I was asked to pull over nd had my license and rego checked to c if i own the car. He then tried checking to c if my car was manual cuz i had an auto license . Finally i was allowed to go. No checks were done on the car though Only mods were aftermarket rims and Greddy front bar.

Yeah, Steve. I remember you telling me about this.

When that lady officer checked my ride height, I remember you straight away. When she told me to wind up my window to see the tint (No tint), I felt lucky because I was going to go really dark before.

Glad I haven't done these things. ;)

that's really funny coz i was waiting in line for a RBT along johnson st, Sth Guildford...an officer from the patrol car behind walks up and the following conversation happened

Me in car with driver side window down and the officer peers through and looks at the passenger side window

Officer: excuse me, can I get you to wind your passenger side window up please

Me: Officer, it is up??

Officer: <wide eyed> ...ok....you've got legal tint

I drove off happy....but had a .02 reading.

Haha, that was a abit embarrassing for the officer. :)

Been through the booz/drug bus before but the cops never paid any attention to the car, just blew in the bag and then on my way

My cars got tint on the windows which matches the privacy glass in the back

Matches as in under 35%?

Also to note. The V35 is the main random car driving the streets in the New need for speed hot pursuit 2010.

Useless fact but it's also one of the desert run cars in the 2009 Fast & Furious.

Really Mark? I didn't about the Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2010. Can you drive that V35 or not?

Ive noticed the v36 doesnt even attract public attention. Unlike my last wrx which had everyone turn their heads, this car gets almost nothing, unless the person is aware of what it is.

I think it's still abit new and not alot of modified V36 in Australia yet.

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
