well .. I got pulled over on Saturday night.

Coming back from my folks place in Ocean Reef, decided to do a lap of Northbridge. Got off the freeway at James Street, went through the lights, as soon as I get near Russell Park (Where our indiginous brethren live) and a cop car was on the side of the road, both cops out, one was checking another car, the other cop runs in to the middle of the road, his little orange anal plug (torch?! :() shining at me.

I pull over, get out of the car, and this is pretty much what transpired:

"Good evening sir, have you had anything to drink tonight"

I've had one beer.

"Please blow in to this (no Paul, he did not pull down his pants!)"

Blow.

"Ok sir, now, your exhaust, that's a yellow sticker waiting to happen. Is that the standard exhaust?"

No, thats how it came from Japan.

"Do you have the original exhaust?"

Nope.

"Well, you're lucky I'm busy tonight, but make sure you get it checked out, that's definately a yellow sticker waiting to happen"

"Actually, let me see your intercooler. Most of the time they're stuck on with chewing gum or plumbing supplies"

"Yeah, that seems fairly secure"

Yep, I've had it bolted on to the chassis.

"Wheres your intercooler?"

Well, you can't see it from the engine bay as it is the stock intercooler, you need to look under the passenger headlight.

"Wow, that's a bright light. Your intercooler looks alright. Have a good night, but get that exhaust checked".

Thank you sir, have a great weekend.

Jason.

Hahaha, better than my short drive thru leederville the other night :(

Yellow stickers suit white cars I think, basically got done for mods and no permits. Meh, You get that......

P.S. Anyone got a spare cat? *nudge jason*

yeah, I'm an oldschool perthy, so I know its a bad thing to cruise northbridge, but when you live in East Perth, it's either that or the tunnel, and I wanted to see what was out and about :(

Yeah, it was good, but I guess the moral of my story was, I didn't give any lip, I was respectful and wasn't a prick to him.

I think a lot of the younger guys could learn from that. No need to get narky and in their face. If they act like a prick, doesn't mean you have to either.

make sure you've got plenty of beer in the fridge when I come by to drop it off :(

just wondering when aftermarket exhausts/mufflers became illegal? my bro got done for his exhaust not because of the dB but because of the "size" as far as i was aware it was only if ur exhaust note exceded a certain dB limit that you could receive a sticker for it?

Only ever been pulled over once. Was coming back from the compliance workshop with my 32 GTR (hadn't been over the pits yet so not registered and no number plates) and was driving it under one of those temporary work permits or whatever they are called.

Saw a police station wagon coming towards me and watched him in the mirror, sure enough he does a u turn and drives up behind me whilst I'm stuck at lights. Light goes green I turn left, he follows and turns on the lights. I kept driving a bit till I could turn down a side street and pull over.

5 uniformed coppers get out of this car. First one says I was pulled over because a skyline was stolen in a house robbery earlier that day. I then said the reason why I dont have plates on the car is because it's not registered and I'm driving on a temporary permit. They said what is a temporary permit. I pulled out the bit of paper I had the permit # written on and showed it to them. Bottom line was that they had no record of it and had to ring DPI to get them to check it on their system. All was ok after about 10 minutes on the phone whilst on of the 5 coppers pulled out a little card and checked the tint which was that typical japanese cant see out of the car in the middle of the day stuff, I told him it was coming off before it was going over the pits.

Long story short no dramas and came away unscathed.

Thursday about 8:30pm, after late night shopping at Garden City doing bang on 60 (missus + shopping in car) up Riseley St. Patrol car doing 70 or so comes up behind me, sits up my arse for half a k b4 the lights came on. Strange really, it was like he was chasing me but then couldn't make his mind up about pulling me over. When he did, both cops got out, wandered around the car for a couple of minutes after checking my license then said have a nice night and buggered off. If I didn't know the car was a fresh import when I bought it, I'd have thought they were checking it wasn't stolen. Have had no tickets/defects/contact with fuzz at all in the year I've had the car so I don't see my plates ringing any alarm bells. Weird. Still, reinforces the idea of keeping it subtle mods-wise & being pleasant to the boys in blue :kick:

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
