Thanks for that usefull information mate, in regards to my situation, should i head down the to blokes station and basically tell him that its garbage and explain why? in the section on my defect notice for 'station' he wrote STTF, does that mean he actually doesn't have a station? perhaps i should write a letter to them

STTF i think are out of head office brisbane. they patrol all over qld.

There is an office at Boondal and they do travel all over the state.

If you send a letter to them this is what will happen.

They will read it, all have a good laugh and send one back to you saying "The ticket will still stand."

my car arrived 5 years ago with NO metal in the front bar area. What the heck are guys like me supposed to do?

Man i dislike coppers.. and those pencil heads who think they know ALL and make the rules which condemn us...

If the car is mod plated now, then it should stand down the track reguardless of the rules. it will have an engineers approval.

Thats what i'm gonna do.. Thanks for the heads up! See how it pans out.

Cheers

On my last car i pulled the front bumper rio out to fit the veftex front bar and intercooler, never got round to putting it back on but it got complied like that, it depends if they pick up on it when complying the car as it shouldnt be passed without it. STTF will still fine you no matter what the circumstances

lol you can sell teh car with the defect, aslong as you get a roady and transfer the car into his name, then it is cleared as far as i know, ask nismo_boy :P

btw- compliance for 32's did require a rear lamp unless under the 15yr rule, although some workshops have neglected to do this when complying cars among other things :(

Thats correct.

My car was under defect and required to be cleared at the police station. As I was selling/sold the car... I neglected to tell the new owner. I still got a dodgy RWC, transfered the car into the new owners name, and bingo cleared.

It's like when your car has been impounded for hooning, the current owner may have had the car impounded but once it changes names the slate is cleaned and you start fresh.

So you're saying if your car was impounded for hooning, all you need to do is change of ownership to your mate for instance and they'll release the car?????

I think Josh means, if your cars impounded and you sell it....the new owner starts fresh with that car...ie. next time that car is caught for a "hoon" offence it's the first time.

Otherwise I think he means you start fresh if you sell the car...but I would have thought they'd base the law on the amount of times the drivers been caught "hooning" not the car.

No.

Example:

I'm selling a car that had been impounded TWICE. One more time and they have it for keeps. You buy my car with a current RWC and transfer it into your name, you now legally own the car.

The amount of times the car has been impounded is now reset as it's owned by another person: EG, if you got done for hooning and the Police impounded your car although its technically the cars third time, it's only counted as it's first as its under new ownership, therefore it wont be taken for keeps.

They take the car the driver was being a hoon in.

bit of an issue if they take a car registered to someone else and confiscate it permanetly. For eg. I borrow your car, go down the shops, do a skid or something classified as "hooning" your car gets permanetly confiscated....would be very interesting!!

It would be interesting indeed if and when the matter went to court.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
