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:

The pod box Must be plastic so it can crumble on impact.... i herd

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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
