Who is John Dumbrose?

last time I had a disagreement, it was handled by Reno Marcheesi - and it was exactly as you said - WA not being kept up to date by DOTARS.

Reno was excellent, as soon as he had the up to date information available (I called DOTARS and asked why they didnt have it) there were no more problems.

Pretty reasonable guys as a whole, just doing a job.

well a month a go or so..i took my Type R to the pits in midland..didnt pass cause indiacators were low..and pod filter had no bracket..some indian guy checked it out and was a tight ass..so next day took it to Warwick Pits

...passed spot on with no problems..

had a GTR front kit..and the indicators were still lower then the legal limit..but they were easy going guys and let me off..was under by about..70mm..and car was rolling on 18inchs too...

should give Warwick a go early in morning..like realy early..

but with my R33 now...havnt been pits yet and hoping i dont have too ...:S

the whole system is a crock of crap sorry to say they can pretty much keep failing you everytime if they feel like it and thats not rite the fact u can fail at one pits and pass at another is pretty stupid

im about to take my car through for a second time fingers crossed i pass coz im so over it, i have never even modified mine

and yeh ive been told they cant check stuff that isnt written on your slip is this right or wrong coz i got done for things that werent written on the sheet funnily enuf nothing that was on the sheet was brought up

I also have a similar kit.. Will post a pic shortly.

Edit: There, uploaded.

I think ur's will pass before mine, because yours meets the 400mm from the side and over 300mm from the bottom 'rule'. Im taking my bumper off tomorrow and taking it to Altec panel and paint in maddington to have them fix the cracks in it, and mount it with some new 'visable' indicators.

Then i will be up for round 3.

yea i got hassled by the pols a couple nights ago

stopped me for a good 30min searchin every bit of my car and tryin to pick on it , last thing they could come up with was my car was too low cause they couldnt put a finger between rear tyre and guard... just whipped out my permit for 'sports suspension' and on my way i went , dosed them hard too when i left for wasting my time!

"...Reno was excellent, ..."

Hes the man, helped me and some mates out with our convertable going back oooo ten years ago . Good human

got done again today. for "Suspension in the front - NO GIVE". Factory suspension.

Gotta go to EAST PERTH as stated on the sheet. I Hate Lyf.

Jeez, you just got that thing and youve been stickered twice, damn!

Dude is there something your doing wrong when you get pulled up. ie excessive noise, turning the tyres etc before the stop or giving the police lip during the stop.

oooo adam is hk. ahhahahahaaa jk

well check this out a while back, i just parked my car and these cops like parked behind my car and stoped me from walking, then asking me do i have a number plate at the front of my car. (was parked in front of a tree) i was like yeah, so they looked at the front seeing that the number plate was on the right side of the car and they were like it either has to be in the middle of the left. they didnt give me a yellow cause i told em that i have been passed the pits twice with it like that and also i have been like pulled over like 10 times now for just random license checks and such and non of em saying stuff about my number plate being on the right hand side

Why put the plate on the right? You know the answer and so do police. Its the same as not having the plate on or bending the plate. Just be thankful they didn't yellow you. Sh*t like that is what they pick on and yes its all their fault. Obscuring your plate is an offense and you can cop a $100 fine and a yellow sticker. If I were a cop I would do the same for your stupidity.

I took an imported fully kitted supra over the kelmscott pits back a year ago, the older chap let a ton of things slide as long as I "promised to fix them" or I told him that "I have the part on order", but he threatened to fail my car if I didn't stand away to the side and stop talking (distracting him) hehehe. Seemed like a nice enough bloke :devil:

Obscuring your plate is an offense and you can cop a $100 fine and a yellow sticker.

I copped that exact punishment once (100fine and sticker) but what they deem as "obscuring" can be percieved in many ways, it's more the interpretation of the law. I practically sucked the officers dick being a kiss-ass and apologetic (even though what he deemed as "obscuring" wasn't really obscuring) and they still gave me a sticker.

Guys - we all drive imports, it's what happens. Any more "I got a yellow" threads and I'm going to cut myself. Sheesh!

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
