ok so Im moving to sydney from the wild west. and i have heard that the RTA is a lil bit stricter over east than it is in perth. am moving my r 32 with a cat back and fmic, bit i have plans for a bit more.

i have heard that the fmic ( I have cut throught engine bay for the piping) will be a problem going over the pits is this true????

is there a tiime limit of when i have to register my car in nsw or can i just keep paying registration in WA (will be sent to my mums house)

also am using auto trans for the transport duties from west to east , have been quoted $1003 will nothing in the car.

has anybody used these guys or do they know anybody cheaper/better??

any other tips you think would be handy for me to know about NSW would appreciate it alot thanx in advance

also am looking for a mechanic around the city area (am moving to balmain) and some one who will do good window tinting

Car should be fine, just dont go cruising George St (then you'll be a defect magnet) :O

Although yeah the police wil try and defect you for all sorts of things if pulled over and they're behind on their quota for the month (Ive been done for having "airbox too shiny", seriously)

FMIC will grab there attention any time of the day or night because its the easiest thing for them to see and it mainly the only thing they know lol.

my advice to never getting defected, just drive in peak hour traffic lol.... and victoria road balmain isn't the best place to hang around either.

depends where you live in sydney. I have owned lots of highly modified imports (like very modified) and have never been defected. but I don't cruise around the rocks at 10km/h with the stereo pumping and I don't cruise around bankstown either. so that would certainly help.

fair enough, i have been thinking about spraying the FMIC black you this will help i have a navy blue car. i plan on keeping the outside pretty stock. (no kit maybe a lil bit lower but not ridiculous, and no decals) thanx for the help guys

Painting your FMIC black is probably a good idea. If it's not shiny and doesn't stand out and you behave yourself then they generally leave you alone, that's my experience any how. Every one knows where the common hot spots are so if you don't want to get defected just stay away from them.

that doesnt work. I got pulled over on epping road in bumper to bumper traffic at 8:30am a few weeks back and got done for bald rear tyres.

i drive sensibly, dont go to known hotspots and generally mind my own business. yet i have been pulled over for "random breath tests" 3 times in last two weeks and followed home by cops. so if they wanna get you they will. as the last coppa nicely put "skylines are our flavour on the month"

in relation to getting your car over here im not sure what the guys are like you are using but i know Ceva logistics are pretty good. give em a call to get a price 1300 655 594. cant hurt to get a quote anyway.

kuma i owe you 300 bucks haha cheers mate

haha yeah no problem my bank details are.....

no problem hey. i work for TNT and we recomend Ceva to do all our car transport cause TNT doesnt do it anymore but anyway thats not the point. the point is you saved some cash.

:ermm: hope the move goes well.

I work in Balmain and do the Victoria Rd drive from Ryde every day, haven't ever really had any trouble with Police/Defect stations even at night but then again i've only been doing it for 4 months or so.

You should be fine just obviously avoid George St etc + Any other hotspot where a good night means cruising round the same block in your cannoned civic 200 times in 1st gear.

Welcome to NSW!

To answer one of your Qs

Dual citizenship is possible. You can be deemed as a New South Welshman via your debit card, electricity & phone bills and...

You can be deemed as a West Australian via your dog 'er car registration and electoral roll details.

If you get pulled over, you need to remember where you're from (and put on ur 10 gallon hat + West Oz accent). lolz

Legally, I believe that there's a time limit though - check with the RTA unless you wish to keep "One Get Of Jail Free Card" called ignorance!

Great driving roads include...

i) Macquarie Pass > Kangaroo Valley > Cambewarra Mtn Rd > Berry > Kangaroo Valley Rd > Kangaroo Valley > Jamberoo Mtn Rd > Kiama > Sydney

ii) Old Pacific Hwy to Gosford and have a meal at La Porchetta Restaurant cnr Manns Rd & Central Coast Hwy (for Nissan lovers)

iii) Bells Line Of Road (strongly policed)

iv) Royal National Park & Lawrence Hargreaves Drive down the coast to Wollongong

Tez.

BTW, remove your radar detector & radar detector detector detector.

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
