I'm gonna agree that police officers in Perth are fair. Anything I have been booked for has always been something I did wrong, I've even had my fair share of "we are just warning you today MR Hughes".

However 3 weeks ago when driving home one friday night a got pulled aside in an RBT and the cop went over the car with a fine tooth comb. He picked on my "too hard" suspension and even asked me what my alarm siren was? It was when I told him that it was an alarm siren that he let me go. Musta felt real silly. I was very nice to this guy but lost respect for him after that.

Drkside, quite possible thats why they sent him out there, to check any cars that look like they have been modified - sort of like a defect station (as they have over east). did you end up getting a defect for the suspension?

Speaking of suspension, I just re-checked mine today, as I fitted new coilovers recently and wanted to make sure the heights hadnt changed too much, or unevenly, which can happen when springs settle and sag after you first fit them..... 78mm off the ground, min legal in Aust is 100mm. So glad the guys didnt pull out a tape measure, but now my car looks like a 4WD (its back to 100mm)

  • 4 weeks later...
He told me to make sure I get permits when I transfer the rego, as its a $100 fine for any mod without a permit

Are you for real? $100 per mod without a permit? I think the cop had a hold of your nuts when he dropped that on ya, thats the first I have heard of such a thing as this....

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
