I got pinged cause "i thought i heard a blow off valve"... i saw the cop, i shifted at 2200rpm ever shift. ud have to be a friggin surgeon with a stethoscope to hear the valve... he did me under suspicion in the end i guess. maybe my rims were too cool. fk knows. i do have a slight exhaust leak, but my exhaust is quieter than most cannons, i need a new gasket to fix the leak.

Sorry to hear buddy, I know how you feel... my total so far for my Regency visit looks like is going to hit $2500! :O

Such bastards when our cars are more roadworthy than 90% of the shit out there

thats what annoys me to, they would rather get an import off the road for a few weeks to cash in on the regency fee, as opposed to

getting the pre 1980s death traps off the road.

craig they wont get the death traps off the road coz they dont bring in the cash....defecting imports on the other hand brings in a lot more cash for them as the owners (us) love our cars too much not to try to get it off regency......those 80's death traps are worth how much....so if they get a regency defect they just dont worry abt it so its a lot of paper work for the popo and no revenue....

they are always going to target imports.....so as far as i think keep ur engine bay and exterior looking as stock as you can....that way they wont think much of you and leave you alone.....but i have always thought that if the cops dont look at your car means your car is shit.....on the other hand i dont want the popo looking a lot at my car.....different sides of the coin aye :O

Its sad but its the stock look stock height is the only way.

A set of decent 225/50 16's on stock rims hold my 260rwkw odd fairly well through second compared to average tyres previously skating around in third; lower the pressure a little and there's not a hint of wheelspin through second. :rofl:

Some time ago a family friend who is a police officer said the 3 biggest things that attract the police; milo tin as she referred to it, lowered and wheels. Any of those and your a target as its highly likely you've also spent $$ on a boost controller etc.

Definitely makes me think twice about driving the car to Mallala. I think I'll hire a car trailer and tow it down with no plates so it can't be defected when I take it out. :O

Joel, Dont worry about a trailer for a grip prac day, they dont have cops out there for that, unless there is a drift prac on after then the cops will be there later in the day, They only come to Drift days!!

But by all means it is a good idea to have a trailer so incase something does break......

I went through regency with my front and rear gtr struct braces.. they were fine with it.

Also dont understand about blow off valves when your allowed to have them in japan and they are the cleanest country in the world and also why are drift cars allowed to have blow off valves if it does shit to the atmosphere as i have been told also from a cop.

Its the 'noise pollution' the cops have the issue with.

i would recomend that you return the car to as stock as possible, and also find a mechanic familiar with getting imports throught regency to check your car out, as they will find any potential defects before regency slaps another sticker on your window for extra stuff, Tilbrook auto & dyno went over my car before i went to regency and replaced a few suspect bushes, and my car past first time, no worries.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
