Hi ALL,

There must be a blitz on in Wollongong tonight. Saw probably 10 cars get pulled over in about 15kms then as I was heading home to avoid disaster it happened.

I was packing it so bad ...

I've just had the following done to my car:

*A turbo back zorst with a split dump and a fairly big cannon muffler on it (no way it would pass any test) = defect

*A pod filter which luckily I put in a fully enclosed heat shield and CAI = defect anyway

*Cross over style FMIC kit ( so there is a hole in chassis now) = defect

*A re-flash of the standard ecu. = defect if tested

^^ all the afore mentioned modifications didn't bother him in the slightest, the only thing that he was worried about was whether or not I had a atmospheric BOV ... which luckily I don't I've got the standard one back on there.

After going over my cars engine bay for quite a few minutes and some arse kissing on my behalf the fella that pulled me over let me off and told me to take my car straight home.

I really didn't like police all that much b4 but after 29t I think I might have had a change of heart.

Now to the point of this thread...

Anyone else get pulled over tonight for a random breath test in Wollongong??? :whistling:

Street-level crime and anti-social behaviour targeted during Operation Mega Vikings

Thursday, 14 Feb 2008 05:20am

New South Wales Police will start a three-day state-wide blitz at all 80 local area commands across the state cracking down on street-level crime, anti-social behaviour and public order management.

Operation Mega Vikings is an intelligence-driven high-visibility policing operation running continuously over three days starting at 8am today and ending 6am on Sunday, 17 February.

The operation will be conducted in two phases on each of the nominated days. During phase one officer’s will target fingerprint and DNA suspects, high-risk offenders, licensed premises and any associated anti-social behaviour.

The evening or second phase will target crime hotspots, licensed premises, public order, high-risk offenders, bail compliance and street-level criminals.

Deputy Commissioner, Field Operations, Dave Owens, said that considerable resources will be utilised during the co-ordinated high-visibility operation.

“This is also about reassuring the community police are serious about reducing crime and enabling people to get out and about and enjoy themselves without being subjected to people acting irresponsibly,” Deputy Commissioner Owens said.

“The message is quite simple: if you engage in criminal or anti-social behaviour, it will not be tolerated and you will be arrested, charged and put before the courts.

“Each Local Area Command will have specialist and general duties officers working around the clock over the next three days. These officers will be complemented by additional State and Commonwealth agencies,” Deputy Commissioner Owens said.

wow lucky kent lol how does an enclosed pod can be a defect? cos i have mine enclosed..so should be legal & how would the cop know if ur ecu is reflashed :S

I was lucky enough to be pulled over by an officer looking to buy a GTR so he pulled me over to ask a few questions on what to look for and what not, i asked him whats the deal with all the defect stuff and things like that, he told me that they employ heaps of ex mechanics and car lovers and put them on duty to look for unroadworthy vechles, there job is to fine you for anything not standard and then they a suppossed to send you to EPA where they do all the tests for standard computers and all the other crap that reams you up the A-hole.

they don't know by looking if you have a reflash but if they send you to an EPA test with the exhaust and the retune I doubt very much that it would easily pass...

I don't think a reflash is technically a defect anyway, I think the law says something like 'must be unable to easily modify the state of tune' for an after market ecu to be ok, its just wether the state of tune actually will pass an emissions test is all...

ohhh and an enclosed pod can be legal ... but it has to be engineered I think and generally your car won't pass EPA with a pod either

Edited by BLK33T

you can still modify your car and keep it legal ...

my plan is to take all of my newly fitted piping and stuff and paint it black to make it look stock & try to get all my stuff engineered if I can.

If that dude from ignition can get his 200 engineered and registered with all the shit he has done to his car then I should be able to get my car engineered.

i just got defected last night for air filter and a speedng ticket but the cop let me off for the BOV

he said that would be another 200 something fine and i acted dumb pretend i didnt know what a bov do (dont we all)

and he spend a good few minutes explaining it which i didnt even care less !! all i can think about is

how much is all these fines gona cost me... :P

ARGGHH! now i have to try and pull money out of my ass and pay for the stupid fines :laugh:

sorry but they need more Police presence that way due to all the Wankers that loiter around the lighthouse area on weekends....All those morons who come down from Sydney and make a total ass of themselves... i even seen one moron stop a car with girls in it and then get in the back seat...imagine if that was your daughter or sister...F&cking morons

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
