Recommended Posts

Yeah cos its a country area i'm worried if i make a complaint that i will get arse fuct, and they will hammer me everytime they see me.

Just sucks, well i can't wait till i move to adelaide at the end of the year.... Alot less chance of me gettin picked on and done up there plus me gonna b changin me plates hehe.

About the height i think i may put it up to or a smidge below standard ay........

Or i think i may just sell my car and get a GTi-R cos i'm sick of this shit ay!

I understand, but if you make sure that you keep record of all instances that you have contact and what was said (I know this sounds a bit over the top, but carry a tape recorder, or even better a video camera:D) and if they step out of line go directly to their supervisor. I think the days where coppers can get away with shit are dwindling - they have to be fully accountable for their actions, no more coverups especially if you have evidence.

It is a tough choice, but personally I wouldnt put up with crap on principle. No reason if you arent doing anything wrong that you should be getting hasselled.

Hippy, legal lowering height is 350mm from middle of wheel hub to the top of the guard, also no part of the car should be lower than 100mm with (cant rember how many) metres of the axles(applies to larger vehicles) - but it basically means you cant get lower than 100mm. And the car must sit on the rims if the tyre deflates;) Thats from memory anyways.

Dont worry about the dump hippy, its sitting waiting for you:)

I've been lucky so far - have never been pulled over!! Fingers crossed, but I guess it'll happen one day ;)

My b/f's bro got pulled over and defected in a stock N13 pulsar the other night for being too low. The cop's parting comment was " You're just lucky you don't have an import mate" - now whats with that?! :confused:

Did they put all 3 defects on the 1 defect slip? If so then you only need to pay 1 fine (atleast in nsw).

If they wrote 3 different defect slips for each fault then you'll be up for 3x the $$$

Also how did they come to the conclusion that your exhaust was "too loud" ? Did they test your exhaust with a small device standing behind your exhaust as you hold the revs at 3000rpm? If they just pulled you over and said "your exhaust sounds too loud here's a defect" report them to the local cop shop.

The reason they knew it was too low, too loud blah blah is cause when i passed my defect i put everything back on there and he goes to me "we know you put everything back on the after u passed"

"your just mocking the system" he recons which is why i copped the fine.

mechanically my car is A1 but no all the ****in bush bunnie fuct up shit boxes are allowed 2 drive round here and stuff but i can't drive my car round!

Plus when i tell ppl that my car had been defected again they say "why its allways so neat and looked after"

my reply?

What about when its chick cops (with bigger balls than most of you boys) that pull you over???  

Then your powers are void...

Actually, when the chick coppers have a big set of hairy dusters, your powers are just as relevant as ever, if not more :)

my friend got his 180 defected .. just for a bov ... went to regency ... they then gave him half a page of stuff to fix ... double defected ... now he's probably going to have to spend maybe 500-1k just to pass ... they just out to screw u over ... whoever died from a bov anyway?

Hippy some bov are pretty big, perhaps you could hit someone with it hard enough you could kill them.

Beside that, they are very useful.

You could use them for pest control - throw them at rats and larger ****roaches, mormons etc.

You could put it on the coffee table, after a good cleanup, and use it as a conversation peice. Be very handy if you had unwelcome visitors.

You could even use it to chock your wheels if you have to change a flat, but it would be better to use a brick.

It would also make a good paper weight.

Perhaps you could even use it to stop air reverting through the compressor of a turbo and causing damage. Nah sorry, just being plain silly now.

By the way, anybody want to buy a bov? I have a spare one - shiney and red....hmmm.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
