Thursday night. After a long day at work (still in my office clothes).

Just driving my 10 yr old to her dance class. My wife was also in the car. Just going through our normal routine. All of a sudden a siren and flashing blue from behind. I pull over. Two cops come out. One Aussie, one of Asian background. Pull out my license. I wind down my window and ask the young Aussie officer "What have I done wrong officer?" The officer hesitates a bit (maybe surprised that it wasn't the kind of person he expected driving the "hotted up" nissan turbo coupe) and smilingly says "Oh it's nothing sir just a random breath test-could you pop up the bonnet for me please".

Breath test clear.

Asian cop inspects the engine bay. Clear. They go to the side of the car and check the clearance between the tyre and fender. Clear. One cop goes behind the car while the other asks me to rev the engine up to 4,000 rpm (I've got a full 3.5" HKS system with a cannon tip). Clear! Asian dude is not satisfied. He begins to quizz me about the blockout window beside the driver's door. I said "what!". Aussie officer pulls him away and says to me "have a good night sir, you can go". They speed off into the night in their XR6 cop car slightly breaking traction.

My time wasted. Their time unwisely spent. Great!

The interesting thing about this, is how are 20 year old drivers THAT different to drivers your age (assume 30's) ?

You cant generalise all skyline drivers into the same category. You also shouldnt generalise all 20 year old drivers as 'hoons'

ITS OK I CAN HANDLE THAT STIGMA =)

neway did you see they are thinking of handing out H plates now for people caught doing quote "hoon acts" no s**t !!! :confused:

thats like a medal dont you think people will be trying to get them <---- and i know sorry

oh yeah the cop dude ...

what a d**khead

Toby doesn't generalise that all younger drivers are hoons, although he might get that impression from hanging around me too much :P

It is a shame that skylines and import drivers are targeted in particular, and what was meant by the post is that not all drivers of these vehicles are hoons but normal citizens going about there own business and the police wasting their and our time with frivolous attempts at revenue raising.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
