Yeap... A pod box makes it legal in most police eyes however if they've had a bad day = defect.

I believe the rule is pod has to be fully enclosed, I figure the pod is enclosed - in the bonnet lol My pod, when I had it was fully enclosed looks cleaner anyway

Yes and if the police are reading this now i say to the two officers with the orange Typhoon. Keep up the good work defecting the morons on George st outside of town hall on Saturday nights... This city needs idiots like them sorted out the way they drive ....

Saying that, I got pulled over once when I left the gym... First thing cop asked me where were my P Plates? I told him I'm a 1/4 of a century old, I'm on my fulls and his tone just changed and all he did was give me a breathe test and off I went...

mine you, I don't have wnker sized rims, nor is my car loud. Good experience with a copper? I think so.

Just wondering...at what inch does 'wanker size' start?

I have had more good experiences with the Police than bad. Though i will cringe if i get pulled over again. Ill explain:

Took a trip to Tassie with the missus. Hired a car. In Tas they dont have signs warning you there are fixed speed cameras.

2 fines with 1 week.However when the first fine was processed in NSW it was double demrits,so i lost 9 points all up.

Then a few months later i had a small accident and copped a Neg driving fine.

So as soon as i get my car back on the rd if the Police pull me over and look under my bonnet + my driving history i will get raped for sure.

Im not a hoon on the rd but he wont know that.

I think ill get a "Ban low performance drivers,not high performance cars" sticker made and put in on my rear window.

I'd say an SAU sticker should be an advantage. We're a comparatively sensible bunch. We probably have an average age 3-4 years older than that of NS which helps. We're highly educated and good looking too.

Thank me for the latter :bunny::D

No he was just wrong.

The laws on that are VERY clear. I have them in the car now. The plate can be wherever it wants to be on the front of the car, but it has to be viewable from a 45 degree angle from the center of the car and 10m back (i think).

Alfa romeos come on the side standard too :bunny:

Was thinking about this thread last night when traveling on William st. I wouldn't have minded some police there to tell off all those who were triple parking (and the street is 3 lanes) to chat to their mates in ridiculously dropped cars that would just go off the road because they don't have any rebound rates. Makes responsible majority of car enthusiasts look bad, making police and society automatically assume anyone with a modified car is like them... Anyways, that's my rant for the day, lol.

On our cars some Police might consider those stickers as a piss take and pull you over anyway.

well piss take it is ,it was a piss take in the mid 90's to on old v8's and just about any car,but its also a piss take taking a highly modified car out in places where you know your going to get picked on !! in all my years driving modified cars and its been 13 years,ive been defected once for over sized rims and on that time he let me off, for low end speeding but he said that he had to give me something...

it all comes down to not being a smart ass when you get pulled over.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
