Wow never heard of any thin happening like that here most i have seen them touch is the battery to see if its secure and the tyres thats it? but i guess thry could if they wanted to i mean if u get the car passed for emissions then you wouldnt have the worry at all ?

Nah. Depends where you are to some extent, but even here in SA, where the cops are not so bad and the rules are not so rigid, you simply cannot get an aftermarket ECU legal in a registered car unless it is fully engineered, and basically locked so you can't tune it. That is pretty much the case anywhere. So even if you have a Motec tuned to within an inch of it's life, fully compliant with the latest Euro emissions standards.....it's still not legal (unless locked up as above).

Just don't be a 'brother' and hangout/do skidzzzzz/be a tool/eat kababs in the 'known' hotspots and you should be ok.

They setup in random locations/times of day down here.

My best mate was done literally 1km from Penguin or Watson (can't remember which), at 3pm on a Tues IIRC. So you are definitely copping the same shit we have beem

Mate of mine just got pulled up in his 31 has rb25 high mount screamer pipe frount mount 33 brake converaion and hes grafter an r33 rear cradle into the car with an r200 diff.... got defected for wheels out of guards and dark tint??? didnt even have problems with the turbo caz the pod was covered in a box lol

^^ yeah that was my thinking, chuck the stock airbox back in while your at it, will look more legit....

I mean if you are worried about police checks why have pods or blue hoses everywhere , smoke and mirrors will work wonders 99% of the time and having just seen pics of your bay on stance, I'd say all black hosing and factory airbox would do wonders for your bay, it would be much more photogenic and it would look standard which is what you want if your in Vic...just my personal opinion ;)

or if cops ask questions you could try say its a NUR and this model didnt use AFMs from factory :)

it's not a cop thing why i'm getting delete pipes made. They're Nismo AFM's going for $600 odd and i'm not using them.... seems absolutely pointless to have them sitting there, doing nothing.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
