when u going in? i am going in on tuesday 1pm

Thursday is my test...

I don't have the stock system - mine didn't have one when I bought it... so I will have to go for the new muffler....

DJ_L3ThAL: depends where you go. My car is similar in specs to Inasnt's and i have yet (cross fingers, tempt fate, pray to god) to be pulled over. It depends on the area as to how vigilent they are. If they have to put up with idiots all day in imports (hopefulyl none of us guys) then i can imagine it annoys them. Just travelling to the outer suburbs i see bad driving in imports and bad attitude so i can kinda understand sometimes.

If anything I'd say the city would be one of the safer places, as its a hassle to pull someone over during peak hour just to check for roadworthiness. It will just end up holding up traffic and creating huge traffic congestion.

Do nothing wrong, have no obvious signs your car isn't too crazy and (most) of the time they won't pull you over. Just be very careful in your exhaust selection to make sure it doesn't come near 90db.

There is no reason why a 250rwkw car has to be any more noiser or faster looking than a bog standard 130rwkw one. Unless you dump the foot at every set of lights and/or rev the tits off it, a cop isn't going to be any wiser.

That could unfortunately be true - that would suck extra as well!

You need some tinted windows so they can't tell whether you're dark, white, or green :)...hmmm then they'd probably get you for that too, Nobody can win. I'll probably get done one day anyway, so far I've probably just been lucky.

Thing is their goal is to double revenue this year on the roads (not sure exactly where I read it, but I'm definitely sure I did read it earlier in the year), and they'll do whatever dirty methods they can to get there.

I am sure if I was in a different suburb to rich-trash land things would be equally bad for me.

hmm, oh well, my car looks bog stock from the outside except for the lights of which ill change tonight when i install my boost gauge, and im going to keep it that way, big kits and spoilers just dont do it for me for some reason, i dont like srawing attention, the only reason i got the lights was coz i was cut with the stock yellowish ones, but i got proper white white ones today :P

and predator i finally fixed my light covers, got some nice cut n polish and they look as good as new, im so happy now, also i fixed some of the cars scratches, will do the rest on saturday so she's nice n beautiful :D

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
