lol @ the mallala defects, counted like 12 bikes, 4 patrol cars & 2 undercovers??? Drove past in a stock 1989 Charade! Didnt seem to have any hassle, alot of cars were pulled in with bonnets up though. Then on port wakefield road got pased at about 160kmph multiple times by people in cars that look like their about to blow up!

Pitty they were pinging people in the middle of no-where going to a legal raceway meet. Not very friendly if you ask me. If i didnt smash my 33 up into a million pieces it would probably be defected by now.

No no, no GReddy coil overs, just springs at the moment, im pissing them off as quick as i can now.

Basically major shit I gotta do is the BOV, the ride height, the wheels and the intercooler. the ride height will take the longest, and I reckon ill have 2-3 weeks to do it all so I think I should be fine with all the help you guys are giving me.

Police officer added "You and your mates must be really unhappy with us defecting your little drifting event, we must have got 50 cars..."

Dunno what he was talking about, but i guess hes still feeling some sort of pump from defecting a lot of imports.

that cheeky mother f**ker! what do they think they are doing with this?

Says you got Greddy coil overs in your signature. Coil overs at Regency are a big NO NO i believe.

nothing wrong with coilovers, otherwise stock skylines wouldnt be legal. the adjustability is the issue, my bilstein shocks and king springs passed regency, i just put a sleeve over the circlip grooves which allowed height adjustment.

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.

ehm... the funny thing about ADR's is that they only apply in australia, ADR's dont apply so much in japan.

who'da thunkit.

another funny thing, road registered cars in australia have to comply with ADR's. i know! outrageous eh?

any turbo car can have a blow off valve, as long as its a recirculating type. im going to assume you mean the atmospheric venting variety. yeah, theyre not legal. why? as ruby said, noise pollution. they also vent crankcase gasses to atmo (although, im not entirely sure if thats true), and are, therefor, disallowed by ADR's.

why can drift cars have atmo valves? because most arent road registered id say. and being un-registered, they can get away with all sorts of shit. being trailered to and from events sorta does that.

dont try to explain stuff to her...you will catch retard...

Bad luck about the defect dude, you did have illegal parts on your car and I suppose you have to wear it...the way the cop acted is unacceptable though

"you and your mates"

yeah bro because im sure one person knows everyone in Adelaide that owns an import

effheads

now that aint a bad idea Steve!

I wouldnt have a clue, but considering the media can film cops doing their biz, like locking people up at the end of pursuits; like those 2 clowns in the camry on currie St yesterday, one would think you might be able to do it

just a thought

-edit - but the media probably has exceptions somewhat...

me? sarcastic? noooooo. youve got the wrong guy pete, ive never once used sarcasm.

i thought that you could have aftermarket bov as long as it was plumbed back in the intake system.....just the like stock one

*shrug*. why wouldya? stock gtr item is good for most street applications and tend to cost less than an a/m unit.

Can any one answer this

i get pulled over and i grab my handi cam am i lawfully allowed to tape what proceeds to hopefuly get the officer to act in a professional manner

heard various things about this, some say its legal, some say it isnt. im overdue for sleep, so i cant be arsed looking it up. my opinion however is that its legal as long as the officer/s are notified. recording mp3 players would be perfect for this, its less what the cop does and more what they say thats important.

interesting who did this for you, and they fell for that

it was just some cylinder foam, got it from clark rubber, cut it to size and slipped it over the shock body, the guy at regency was pretty cluey and thorough, he didnt have a issue with the suspension, had a laugh at cops and how they should stick to doing their job lol as it was an officer who had defected me for it saying "it was too hard".

im not 100% sure if circlip height adjustment is illegal, but i wasnt going to chance it, pretty sure its really only the thread adjustable coilovers which are the issue.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
