What a day, got defected today!!!!

that Bastard,

One cop by himself, I thought there always needed to be 2 cops to pull you over??

Tint to dark, even though they never tested the tint,

Exhaust to loud - apparently, even though I have the quietest X-force system on the market

Lastly the cop recons my air intake and cooling need to comply with USR/ADR

Bro,

I feel for you as funny enough I just got my canary cleared this morning after my car was defected 3 weeks ago... I'm sure a few of you would know of this situation...

Bro, yeah... sometimes it's not worth it... don't worry, it's not the end of the world... just get a roadworthy done...

You can't have 2 air induction mods... so either lose your frontmounted intercooler or pod filter... I say lose the pod filter (get a stock airbox in there)... get your tint taken off (put a lighter tint on)... don't worry about the exhaust, the WRC will cover this too... just get the WRC done mate... then bring it to a VICROADS office and they will clear it quicksmart... within like 5 minutes you will be free again.... like me...

I have been through hell and back so yeah, PM me if you have any issues...

I know pretty much all the ins and outs of this process...

I would expect he's EPA(ed) you as well.... you should get a letter in the mail in a matter of weeks which instructs you to bring your car to an EPA's office to get tested!

Next time just act like they know everything and be really nice, start a conversation if possible, it attracts attention away from the car. If the piggy still gives you that little piece of yellow paper, I say get your money's worth go into an industrial state cut some mad skids, do something you think is worthy of that yellow canary. That's my own personal judicial system anyway.

window tints are not a big problem in SA i think.....i got mine i think on the sides a bit below the legal limit the back has a very light tint and none at the front not even on the top.....did they db test your exhaust....and what kind of air intake do you have....feel sorry for u bro....

How's the World Rally Championship going to help?

whats the bet your tint is too dark, your exhaust is too loud and your air intake is shit?

just bring it to a good mechanic, get that person to fix up all defected items as per that copper's canary then get him to give you a good RWC, bring it to a traffic authorities office and get them to clear it off for you. make sure you get a comprehensive rwc done as this will avoid future problems for you.

good luck

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
