I'm the Semi New owner of a 32 GTS-4 and have had the honour of my first defect which was...

1. Too Low

2. BOV

3. Steering Wheel

4. Gauges in A-Pillar

Now i had no problem remove BOV, Jack it Up (TEINs), Take Off Gauges and Leave My Steering Wheel cos it was all ok (tried tellin the turd on the bike that (adelaide guy)).

Now when i went to get it taken off the bullcrap RTA boys up in this hole of a town port augusta, i thought hey these boys won't know a thing, but hell did they bend me over.....

i have TEIN HA's done me for that, Boost Controler, Timer, No Cat on me Zust therefore making it too loud as well, Need a Full emissions report!

Now i've called MORPOWA which is where i get my work done and Simon(Mr 10sec EVOIII) told me that its all good and he passed wid his HA's on and so did Denzo now wot is the go with this can someone help me out?

Will they pass me or won't they with HA or should i invest in a pair of standard Suspension and Zust for future trouble like this?

And is their such thing as gettin a Boost Controller Engineered?

What hippy said.

That's the thing that really shits me. No consistency what so ever. Whatsisnames passed with pillar guage, but they made him remove his ADR approved momo steering wheel.

These pricks really need to sort their shit out - there needs to be some accountability - they represent the govt and the law, yet they seem to have no bloody idea.

God I wish I knew what could be done.

Regarding the Cat i've heard $5000, $10,000 and even $40,000!!!!

But hey have if you have heard a 32 scream at about 6500-7000rpm with no Cat then its kinda worth the risk ay cos o the sound plus the RTA guy said nothing about a fine or anything like that just said i need one that works etc. :rolleyes:....

But you guys that are out there in the know should know how JMS are helping me out hehe :rofl:

So yeah should be back on the road within a week but yeah it does shit me how there is no consistancy too. And also the cops gettin you for stuff they had no knowledge about (i had to explain to the Bacon Bikie wot a BOV was for etc.)

But as i was sayin i knew it was goin to happen and there is no way i'm going to "Lock or Weld Height Adjustable to Prevent Lowering Below Minimum Ride Height" :shake:

Any how is there any one out there that would like to hook up for a cruise (small group) with me and me mate wid a 33 M-Spec next time we in adelaide just drop me a MSG or mail....

Chick cops hav ego trips!!!

Yeah, cruising to the hairdressers and some lonely chick cop mounts the medium strip and pulls me over at high speed while I was doing 60.. my big mouth earnt be a defect with full regency inspection.. thats all im sayin.

Silly wench asked if my car was turbo.. but hey, its not like it says it in big red letters on the engine or anything.

Guest wilco

This is exactly the problem I have with cops, complete and utter inconsistency. If the guy next to me got booked for the shit I get booked for, I wouldn't care. I see ppl run red lights every day, on my way to work I sit around the spoeed limit, maybe only 5 over, and ppl cruise past me doing 20+ over, but it seems they just merrily go on their way.

I haven't been booked by a chick, but the reeceptionist at work has a poxy Toyota Echo with little fog lights in the front bar, they are blue in colour, and she was pulled over for having them turned on, the male cop said, take them off, they are illegal, and the female cop pulled out her book to give her a icket, and defect the Echo... the male cop openly said to her, "What are you doing?", they had a private chat and then let the Echo go on it's way home.

Sad sad sad

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
