the rb20 will probably drive all around australia twice on the redline the entire way without blowing lol. I think most motorbikes have a longer stroke haha

still, hopefully they are dumb enough to keep driving it and they catch them.

Import_zone on hardtuned wrote in their spotted thread that he had seen a purple 32 yesterday in the hills and has spoken to police. He/she wanted someone on sau to pass on the message. Hope the car is recovered mate!

What id like to know is how come we all seem to not be able to pull out the driveway without being pulled over for a defect, yet these criminals can drive around numerous times using the stolen cars to steal more imports...and not get pulled over?

Am I missing something other than a balaclava, set of screwdrivers and some tool kit to keep in the car that guarantees to not get noticed by the local on duty?

Cant answer that, but I can say from my own experience that I've been pulled over twice in the 4 years of owning my GTR and using it as a daily driver.

On both occasions it was a bretho and licence check, and I was sent on my way without incident.

I suppose upkeep, keeping it stock and not driving like a tool are the 3 things that have helped me, however I do worry like everyone else, especially since my exhaust is loudish...

-D

I can agree with you there dohmar. My silver paint helps but when your car and driving style doesn't scream 'street racer' you don't have much to worry about. I've never been pulled over in a year of GTR ownership and daily driving.

Ive used my car as a daily in the past, and the last time I was defected the cop was pulling out of a side street as I was coming past in the front of a pack of traffic. The cop basically raced, weaved and then stuck his lights on behind others to get to me specifically. Once he looked over my car, even commenting on how clean and standard it was, chose to defect me for less than 5mm too low. I wasnt driving like a moron, nor do I have any large bling on my car. Its as stock as a rock for all intensive purposes, and well kept.

Those are the police I refer to as **** who dont do their jobs.

Cops just rand and said the car has been found with no plates and shit and they have poured power steering fuid or something all through the inside so will have to see how bad it is when I get it back tomorrow!!

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
