from another forum- posted by an RTA worker! and performance car owner........

Ok all, this no doubt affects 100% of the guys out there, but its time we did something about the

authorities defecting people for no reason.

Hands up those people who have been defected for something totally

outrageous like: 'guages too high?, or exhaust not mounted properly, or even

'****pit lights too bright?'.

Nowhere in the ADR's or RTA Light Vehicle Modifications Act does it state

anything like this and it seems that cops are pulling people over and

defecting them for what ever they make up on the spot. Some guys carry a

copy of the ADR's and Act in their car and when asking the police to refer

to the defect in question they have no idea - cause it is not in the

documents!

A couple of forums are getting in on the act and we are all getting peoples

stories from around the country of how rediculous the whole system is at the

moment, and for what can only be seen as a money-making scam. The police

have picked on us for too long, made millions out of a scam, and wasteing

valuable resources chasing us down while letting smoke belching bombs drive

past. Why arent they out on the streets fighting crime? doing drug busts, or

even catching that bastard that broke into my house and stole all my sh*t!!!

I dont need to remind you that they are quickly losing the respect of the

public!

Thousands of emails are expected to be gathered and handed to channel 7

Today Tonight, and Channel 9 A Current Affair all at once. Each network will

be told that the other network has just been handed the same thing and we'll

see them fight for who is gonna do it first!

Please send your defect stories to [email protected] by end of Friday

14th March. Now's your chance to finally do something about it!

Thanks for your time.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
