Hi Guys,

My names Dallas, I just moved down from Cairns in QLD, (going to join NSW club soon hopefully).

I'm going to retain my QLD Rego & License while i'm living down here for a few years, might be an obvious question, but i'm not too sure. Can NSW police defect me and so fourth even though i'm running QLD Rego & License.

Any help would be appreciated, hope to see you all out at one time or another anyhow. :)

Cheers,

Dallas

If that's the case, I'm on my P's. (Old P System) and I own and drive a turbo skyline, is this going to be a problem?

I shouldn't have to sell or be unable to drive my car because of this..seeing as i had my license before the new rules were enforced in QLD.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I also assume i'm going to actually have to wear P Plates, as they arn't mandatory in QLD.

This was covered on an interstate forum, whereby (if the info was correct), if you maintain the status (ie rego & lic) from your home state, then you'd be allowed to still conform to the laws of that home state and drive a turbo car. This of course pertains to your car.

Relating to you as a person, you'd be subject to licence conditions of this state. And this being NSW, you'd be wise to display your Ps.

A word of caution:

Probably more than 90% of defecting is done at night. I'd recommend that you take off any identifying badges that indicate that your car is a turbo model, lest you be pulled over so often.

I'm happy to be corrected on this,

Tez

PS If you're staying down here for "years", it looks as if you'll have only a short period of grace to change everything; which means OUCH to the turbo car!

PPS Perhaps, it'll be legal to transfer ownership of the car to your Qld parent? But then, you might be better maintaining your Qld lic. after all. Puzzling.

You wont have an issue mate, ask most people down from QLD they basically never get pulled over.

You need a QLD officer to issue some kind of infringement in NSW because of the legal differences (like in newcastle when they have vic and NSW police at defect stations), personally ive been up in QLD and the cops look yet dont defect.) .. Speeding is obviously not included nor is wearing a seat belt... nor is drink driving - you get the drift ..

P.S if you do any of the above you are a fool - not aimed at thread creator just thought id mention it .

Thanks for your help. :down:

Still got all my points on my license and I intend to keep it that way.

If you've also noticed alot of high HP cars i.e majorly defected cars are registered in QLD and drive in sydney.. Have a look at george st.. Oh yes .. dont drive down this street.

Try not to drive vehicles around this time of the year - more RBT's more chance of defects.

if you already owned the car in queensland before the laws came into affect and got your lisence befroe aswell then i wouldn't see a problem, also i know of a person who just paid the $25 for an exemption because the car was his dads for many years before hand or something like that,,,, check qwith RTA anyway, they are usually pretty helpful, and they know all the rules and can get written confirmation from them....

and if you plan to go back to queensland every year in time to renew your rego i wouldn't bother even notifying rta of any changes anyway, aslong as you still got family in cairns....

I just spoke to the RTA who referred me to the Police hotline, who then put me through to a SGT of the Highway Patrol who was rather friendly and very well informed.

What i've found out is that;

I need not wear my P's if I don't feel the need, but we recommended I did so I don't get hassled if i'm pulled over.

Intercoolers must have mush in front of them to be legal.

Atmo Bov's arn't cool.

I don't need to transfer my license or rego over to NSW.

I can drive my turbo vehicle.

Thanks for all your help guys.

The car's registration must be in the state where it spends most of its time. Same with the driver's license. I've seen people busted for this in the past.

I have been pinged in 3 states, Police do not care where you are from, you will still get an infringement notice in the mail :ermm:

    • 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.
