I also thought the R32 was just under, just like the R33 is just over.

Anyway, from the other thread which I replied, but closed just before I got my reply in..

What are you guys doing for the cops to pull you over?

I go to Knox all the time, during the day or night for whatever reason. Fair enough my car from the outside looks totally stock and I'm not a P plater or anything.

In all the times I've gone to Knox, I've never been pulled over for anything - even drove behind a divvy van from the carpark around the back to the exit and they didn't even do anything.

Maybe when I go, I just park, do whatever, hop in the car and leave? I don't do hero laps or anything... or are you guys doing something to bring attention to yourselves?

its not what i'm doing

its the fact im in a skyline with a p plate up..

Either way. im going in to the station again tomorrow (went today but couldnt talk to anyone about it) to state my argument.

I am going to say that from 89' - august 91' the skylines were 1260kg making them 125.4kw/tonne (what i got done for), but from august 91' - 93'(type M) they were 1320kg (my car being a 92' model) making it 119.8kw/tonne putting me under the limit.

I guess i will need to goto court to prove that which i really dont want to do but at least at the end of it i will be able to drive my car..

I have also driven around police before and they have not cared. but the first time i got pulled up i was actually speeding. doing 38k's and hour in a 10 zone... which he let me go on, (3 o clock in the mornin, raining) but he said "you realise you cant be driving your car on your Ps" and gave me a ticket for it. then when driving through ringwood (heavy traffic(not doing anything wrong) he pulled me up again (same guy that got me at knox) and gave me another.

I guess we'll see what happens..

Thanks all very much for your input :cheers:

much appreciated. :headspin:

where do they get their stupid figures from?

the r32gtst is under the limit...

i would go down to the local cop shop and sort it out there and determine exactly where they get their figures from. then you can go to nissan and get factory specs and coem back and shove it up their arse!

I have been to nissan. they have no idea. they said to goto an importer. i went to kamikaze and they also had relatively no idea.

I am calling the police station today to tell them what i think.

see what happens..

Where could i get some solid information from? instead of using some 3rd party website.

Also, shh clarkey :cheers:

edit: and WazR32GTSt, I could also say their figures are stupid and my car is under the limit, but what use is that? do you actually have any evidence to prove that. cos AFAIK the early models (89' - 91') are actually over the limit, yet the 92' - 93' are ok...

just need some proof of that and im laughing :(

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
