Im a little confused on what a copper can defect you for. I have a r33 skyline turbo (of course) FMIC CAI standard BOV with intercooler pipes going over radiator etc. So why or what can they defect u for like is there any guidelines on a website that say u can do this or not etc.

Cheers

do a forum search, there's a few defect topics

basic things they can legally defect you for is a bov venting to atmosphere, and an unsecured pod

anything else, best to go get a cert from the RTA to say it's street legal

Anything they want to, its then upto you to clear it with RTA and courts. Read this thread there is a link or 2 in it to some answers.

cops can and will defect you for ANYTHING, just to waste your time and/or money.

when VY's were new, there was a SS Ute that literally rolled off the showroom floor that morning (so no mods AT ALL) that i saw defected, just because the owner happened to be at Aspley Macdonalds on the night of a blitz.

yeah but not hard to fight that, but yeah i spoke to a woman who warned me about a defected station, she drove a brand new landcruises (about 2 years ago) and said she was done for having a wrong sized steerring wheel and a tow bar that stuck out to far from back of the car, whcih she said were standard. :s

a guy got defected in a brand new patrol ute because the number plate wasn't visible from 45 degree up. it had factory tray and the number plate was positioned in the factory holder.

you can get defected fro trimming the front bar to get the cooler in.

actually one of the bogans at the southside hoon spot i was having a chat to said you can get defected for having slimline plates on the back

is that true? sounds dodgy =/

well the government allow businesses to sell things that go on your car that are classified as "illegal" to have. so i dont see why the government would excuse themselves from selling things that can be "illegal" on your car to.

What can you get defected for?

haha! pretty much anything these days. and if the cop is in the wrong, then its you who has to go through all the trouble of getting the defect notice and fine dismissed which means, you got to take time off work to go to court and babble a whole load of shit to a judge who has nothin better to do all day then to sit behind a bench and hear everyones bullshit.

clearly, i got to go through this myself and get my 2 fines dismissed cause some stupid cop doesnt know how to do his job properly. in the end the cop is just goin to cop the bad end of the stick cause maybe all these years he's had it easy handin out fines and defects to ppl for no reason, but this time, he's hit the wrong person and has given me more then enough motivation and fuel to have everythin thrown back at him.

what would be really cool in my opinion is if the judge was to have every fine and defect notice handed out by this one cop, gone through all of them and had anyone reinburst for the false fines/defects hes handed out.

hahahahah! that would be cool to see! :)

but doubtful ;)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
