pfffft illegally... EVERY car is illegal from factory as soon as you change the oil or refil the petrol. Dont let that scare you from going to court with it.

if it passed EPA after having nothing done to it then you should recoup your costs.

he is driving the car illegaly, it is very clear on the ruling for power to wieght. one would be quiet foolish to pursue this any further when you are knowingly breaking the law.

your funeral

IMO cops dont know shit

Its the only job out there where you dont need to know shit to do it!!!

Dont be affraid to take a cop to court and prove they dont know shit, I have done it and won and I know alot of others that also have.

Only way to stop no nothing cops doing the same thing to someone else again is to take them to court or atleast make their life a little harder by lodging a case with their senior officer etc so next time they will think twice before they book someone with bogus claims.

hmmmm sorry but im with paul on this one, if i was u id just pipe down and be thankful nothing else happned. although it may feel noble and slef satisfying to "fight back" in the long run it could have seriouis ramifications for u. previously i would have agreed with taking action but given what happned to Ruffls with his PTW im keener than ever to keep a low profile. like when i got my last canary. the guy got me on a few things that could easily b fixed (height = adjustable, tyres = replaced, bov = plumback came 2 days after dammit lol) and considering that he missed some of the things which would have caused more problems (4 starters the legality of my cars power 2 weight ratio). but thats just me, im a bit of a woos lol

I've taken the Police to court countless times.

It does not make you a target at all.

If you play by the book, they must aswell.

I've had defects for all sorts of stuff, and im yet to loose a defect court battle.

Others i might have lost, but not the defects as honestly, Victoria Police out on patrol simple do not know all the laws.

Its impossible. So they make it up as they go to suit the situation and "try thier luck"

again, comes back to the accountability scheme that needs to be employer so it stops this horrid abuse of power

cheers

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      Most women will agree that parking is the most taxing part of driving

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
