Found Myself A Turbo Timer

Well last night i was driving along in my car, as you do in a car, and to my surprise something started obstructing my feet from braking and pushing the clutch. It didn't affect it to the point where i couldn't use them it was just very annoying to use the brakes and clutch.

To my surprise, a greddy turbo timer had dropped down. It isn't connected or anything but i was surprised to find it. I don't have a turbo timer so this might be good for me. I am surprised that the guys installing my alarm didn't tell me anything about it.

Now the questions come to mind that has my car been as stock as a rock as it was said when i bought the car for it's whole life. I have also found out that the speed limiter has been removed. I am not sure if my mechanic removed it when he did my clutch because he also took the restricter out aswell. I had gotten to 180 before i gave it to him but i never tried going over and after the restricter was out i tried to test out if it was there and it wasn't.

So what are your thoughts guys.

I wouldn't mind a free greddy turbo timer........I wish one fell out of my car and into my hands......let me know if a powerfc drops out of your car too...I'll have it hahahaha jokes man :D

But yeah, was your car imported in the last couple of years?

Mine was. It had modifications before it came to australia and it was taken back to stock to get complied. I'm the second owner of the car in australia, and the first owner didn't say anything to me about it having modifications prior to it coming to australia.

It was a bit of a shock cause i thought something broke off. I just checked then and 2 powerfc's fell out. I'll send one over to you :lol:. I WISH.

My car was imported in january this year and i got the car about 15 days after it got complied. Technically i'm not the first owner but i bought the car of a guy who does the importing. It had only done 50km in australia since being complied.

It had an aftermarket stereo and it had some holes inside the car where something was mounted but i'm not sure what it was. Maybe it was modified maybe it wasn't. I'm guess it was more than stock though before aus. It does have 33 gtr rims on it and it is a white 1990 model so it would have been resprayed because i don't think they came out in white that year.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
