Ok, if you guys want i'll scan in the different notices they gave me. The direction to rta/epa test facility paper has a part which says "failure to attend the defect station within alloted time will result in a penalty not exceeding 20 demerit points." that worried me so I complied not wanting to lose my licence.

Also with engineers certs, I asked what seemed to be the only half decent rta guy about engineers and he said "the only certificate they accept is an RTA certificate." whether this is true or not is a different thing.

I am starting a petition that people may sign if they would like. The only problem with this is the fact that every car that gets pulled up DOES get defected. This backs up the police bigtime and throws our case in the drain as far as I can tell. The point I want to make is the fact that enthusiasts ONLY are being targeted when we all see many cars being looked over purely because they are not young or they drive a s h i t b o x which is more than likely worse off in the defect department.

Also my filter fine carries an "undue noise" fine, I think to do with the back-off or flutter from the reverberation back through the impeller wheel and the extra induction noise on top. So that means they've got me? Either way I have the shits because of the way it was handled. I will make a big fu(king scene if they get me next time because I plan to fix and try to engineer everything so that if this does happen I can tell them to go and play hide the truncheon with their partner.

One thing I want to be clear about is that I was polite from the start with the police then the rta and the epa. Once I realised they were being impolite to me and were going to slam me regardless I then stopped with the politeness.

I got done at Harry's last year at a pre set up defect staion with coppers and RTA ppl all set up there

They went over my engine bay with a torch and were there for ages !

I have a t piece, panel filter (hole cut out of side of air box) and FMIC, and HKS BOV

They didn't get me for anything there !

so then they did the usual checks, first of all the RTA guy couldn't find tyre placard, and was adimate my car came std with 13s !!!!!!!!! (even tho I had the stock wheels on at the time, 14s :bonk: ) passed exhaust test as well, only had to rev to 3000

All my lights and stuff were working, but they got me for "no high mount brake light" anyway !!! like how many damn cars do u see out there with no lights working at all, but coz they r "normal" looking cars, they don't get pulled over, I go to a lot of trouble to make sure everything is always working, and they don't and I cop that GHEY defect !!!

RTA chick I rang said obviously the cops were being ****s that day / quote !!

they also got me for too low, yeh, by like 0.000000000001mm

idiots

Bron that really sucks.

I am sorry to hear that.

And coppers wonder why the car scene hate them so much. They never never ever pull over normal family cars.

I have never seen a 40 year old guy with his family pulled over for a random check or get defected.

They specifically target us!

Thats descrimination. There must be laws for this?

BTW I love lollies too :D

DR GTR: yeh it sucks

I was SO lucky I got away with it on sunday night

I'm gonna missing chopping everyone at the runs :)

I agree with what u said, there's an article on FF mag site somewhere about some copper interview, where he's saying they don't target nice looking cars, biggest load of BS I ever read !

Damn current affairs shows feeding ppl the wrong info :goddam:

I got chased by a fool in his VX SS when he saw me cruise by him. that obviously didn't deserve an almost powerful vehicle, he lost it in front of me on the M4 at about 7pm one night last week, spun in front of me, from my lane, then across another car in the middle lane, then a right lane bandit, missing us ALL by millimeters, then crashed into the bushes in the middle of the M4, any sooner he would have smacked the cement wall in the middle, any later and the hidden railing wouldn't have stopped him and he would have collected cars on the OTHER side of the M4

but we don't here about it on the news or in the papers coz his car is like a normal common bogan mobile and he's not classed as a HOON

gets my goat I tell u !! I like Billy, I wish they would leave my goat alone :D :looney:

sorry to rant

ed: yeh that was me, did u like your CHOP suey I served u up!! ;):D

speaking of being chased down thru the traffic ...... ;) ;)

Austin: been frozen for 30 years ey?? :D

Bronwyn here here!

Everytime I get pulled over by the police I am the most politest person ever. Never once have they shown the same courtesy. Always rude and arrogant acting like they are doing me a favour.

I am really tired of them targetting people who do drive safely and who are into cars and people who do have only minor mods.

They will never pull over a 40 year old guy driving a done up HSV .

Why ? because they dont fit the "Hoon" criteria we fall into because we are young citizens with nice cars.

We pay our taxes which in turns pays their wages. We pay fines to pay for their donuts. We pay stamp duty on rego and high premiums on our insurance because of car thieves.

We are the victims here but still we get our balls busted for doing what we enjoy.

minh, I think the low life scum who like stealing the cars we love and committing crimes with them also contribute to the fact the cops pay more attention to us than anyone else...

Not all cops are that bad....both times I've been pulled over they seemed very scared....had their hands on their guns when approaching the car....maybe next time I'll just stick both my hands out the window :eek:

EDIT: MISGSR hahaha....what are you on about :shake: :D

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
