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

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
