Good work mate! I kinda had a shot at them when they were peeling the sticker off because as he was doing it I said "thank god for that" he replys " I'll probably see you back here soon though, I know how much you skyline drivers love to just put all the shit back on straight after you pass". I just replied back " Mate, aslong as I've got that P-plate in my window and the "skyline" written across my boot I'm gonna have those stickers in my window" he didn't have a come back so I jumped in the car and left.

anyone know if its defectable to modify the foam in the back seat , backs? not the seat portion but in between?

no structural mods to seat frame just foam center portion between the seats ?

If you get defected for inadequate rear seat foam, ill, well i dunno, do something funny.

fail stewy?
and what for stewy?

a few roadworthy issues, missing a nut and bolt here and there, which is fair enough. then my suspension, i felt like i was talking with a 16yo with his first import, he kept saying i had coilovers, and that coilovers are illegal, i kept telling him that coilovers were standard, the only difference with mine is that my standard components have been replaced, and that the adjustment is within the seats which were not there. i was told on the phone that as long as u arent able to adjust the height without pulling the suspension apart if was considering non-adjustable and legal. the other issue was 2/3 travel, he said "how do we know these maintain 2/3 travel" and i said if i came in with monroe OE replacements, would i be alright? and he said yep, i asked why that was, the only difference between my bilsteins and monroes is one costs a hell of a lot more. apparently when u have bilsteins, ur suspension is all of a sudden considered coilovers, but if u put in monroes or some other budget shock its not.

i might just mention these had been through twice before.

also caster rods, the fact that they'd been through twice before as well didnt seem to matter.

when i was getting defected i was told that he could fine me for everything defectable on my car, which included fining me per rim but he let me off with a fine

lol every cop says that, but none ever do, u might get one breach of adr's, but ive never heard of people getting a breach of ADR's for every defect on their car under normal circumstances.

at least it was only a cop shop though :) the cop was very chill and i know he could have done more if he wanted but didnt

also gave me 120hours to drive the car. i thought the most you could get was 72? either way i bought new tyers and the cars off defect ;)

yeah i did poo myself abit at first.

the guy started talking to me about the car and asking about it and said how clean it was and even said sorry about defecting me (but it was for unroadworthy tyers so very understandable defect)

gave me 120 hours to drive the car but was very good to have a nice younger cop that wasnt a tool. more like him the better and i told him that too :down:

Had a lucky one today! Got pulled into a random licence check station near the Village, then get asked to pull off to the side.

Cop asked me to pop the bonnet and prepare for a roadworthy inspection, i nearly shat! As Krishy and Chad know, nothing is hidden in my engine bay! Open pod filter, boost controler solenoid, atmo catch can, intercooler and not the quietest exhaust. Both the cops were really nice guys, and surprisingly the older one knew what stuff was! Quick check around the car, asked about BOV (std plumback), bit of chit chat about the car then i was sent on my way!

My views of SAPOL have now changed :thumbsup:

Missus reckons i've got the gift of the gab :P

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
