Does this mean courts are now going to be flooded with car enthusiasts, right alongside drug dealers, rapists and the likes ??

Soon they'll probably start throwing car enthusiasts in cells, and we'll all have convictions under our name stating; " unenclosed pod".

As exnizmech stated, a move like this would inevitably back up the courts, with magistrates wasting valuable time listening to cases about questionable mods.

I just moved from Sydney to the Gold Coast 4 weeks ago, and I'm still anticipating my first run in with the local constabulary.....

Although I am hoping that the QLD officers are more "friendlier" than their counterparts from South-West Sydney.

oh great, the day i get my opens i find this out. so whats the go with losing the points? you have to go to court and then admit to having a defective car? would the judge make up their own price or would it be the set $75 per defect? What a f**kn waste of time and resources.

i just bought an import r34 and cant get rwc couse of me aftermarket steering wheel. have to wait for original one with airbag change it and than pray they wont find anything else..

Yeah, good reason for that too. Airbags are proven to save lifes, and they are very effective in doing so. Id want the thing on there.

Either way is any of this confirmed by either DOT or Qld Police?

Just my blow off valve. Turbosmart vee port stealth series now for sale if anyones after one :D My stocko one is going back on. Once they saw that they stopped looking and moved onto the next car. The only other defect i'd pick up is for ride height and the brake light on my wing.

It was rather funny though. The first cop that came to my car to have a look had no friggin idea. He's like "Uh, does it have a blow off valve" I said nothing and he looked around. "Is that a blow off valve?" I said nothing again. He looked at it for a while longer, "is it plumb back?" Still saying nothing and another cop walked over, pointed a light at it and looked at it for near 1min before saying "I think isn't". Moments later I had 5 cops standing infront of my engine bay discussing if it was plumb back or not. They asked me to rev it so I rev'd it to 2,000 rpm and nothing happened lol :) and then they had another little think about it before asking me to rev it higher so I did to 3,000 and just got a bit of flutter going back through the turbo and they were like "ahh its venting to the atmosphere" and I was just in a shitty mood so felt like being an ass and started a debate with the guy telling him it wasnt venting to the atmosphere(which it wasnt at that low rpm/boost). Then I tried just being clueless about it all :banana: because 4 of them had gone and I was left with the clueless guy again. He then told me they didn't care if I took it off or not and that I probably wouldnt get done for it unless I show up to meets like the one we were at, lol. It's great how they can hand out a defect for something they clearly know sod all about.

you were on your way to your Grannys to have dinner with her before she passes...

lol. Yes I just took a wrong turn and ended up in an industrial estate with 100 other cars :cheers:

They did ask if there was an emergency reason for me driving. The only thing I could think of was 'give me a few mins and ill come up with a good story'

what

emergency

i would have told the cop (unless u have a restricted licence) its a free country i can drive down this road if i like

geese i wonder how i would go with the cops if i went out on a fri or sat night

see the funny thing is a atmo bov is not a rwc item (go figure that 1)

      Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
