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.

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'

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
