They have ECU controlled values. Therefore they are legal.

Which is the bullshit part of the Victorian law - you can have a ECU controlled valve from the factory - but cant install one aftermarket... :rolleyes:

Both fairly straightforward jobs. Really depends how fussy workshop is and how bad the leaks are. If you pressure wash beforehand and it's a minor weep it may not be an issue. ANother option is of cou

It is interesting, the dynamic currently. I think with the camera/database and automated method of checking number plates, they already know what kind of driver you are (speeding fines, previous

Just to confirm - police can tick major and rwc for any defects yes? I was fairly sure it's completely discretionary, but just wanting to confirm.

It use to be that they needed to find 3 defects for it to be a major but i dont think that exists any more, either that or like a lot of other things they vic pol do they just ignore that and do what they like.

When i was defected they only picked 2 things and made it a major.

He got me for 2 things without even opening anything (too low (he got under the car and measured) and bald rear tyres (camber wear)), even as he handed me the fine he pointed out that the steering wheel was illegal (momo race), if he had have had a look inside he would have found the boost controller and hand controller for the power fc, some times your just better off to cop it sweet cos it could get a lot worse!

It's how I bought the car, I wouldn't be stupid enough to put it in plain sight where the previous owner has an would have kept the stock airbox but I suppose you always get caught out in that week where you say "I'll fix it tomorrow"

If it's stock just go anywhere.. Not really any 'lenient/dodgy' testers anymore

You should be ok if it's transferring to your name as opposed to clearing defects

Good luck

Mmm I know what you mean but after chasing a rwc to sell my last car..i took it to 3 different ppl and they all picked on different things literally :/

so just want to see if anyone here knows anyone.

Selling a car and transferring it into your name are different things, if you let them know your intentions they should be a bit less fussy as you will be driving it and it won't come back onto them for not being tough on the rwc.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
