Psst... It was a lie... don't tell anyone

oh yeah thats right all the $$$ went to the christmas fund lol......i have been defect on "SUSPECTED SUSPENSION DAMAGE" hence why i get really pissed off when i hear that the police can do you for suspicion of carrying a defectable item.....i was running street dampers set at a legal height

Something needs to be put in place for those that are unfairly defected because a cop got suspicious! Compensation for time and reimbursed any costs!

They couldnt find anything else so they did me on suspected suspension damage....i asked well if i had damaged suspension then how have i been driving on it without a problem.....to which the reply was well regency can deal with it now....i mean seriously WTF

i was there trying to argue my point to the officer in charge....but i had a bad feeling that he had made up his mind as he pulled me over to defect me....i was suprised as they could frankly just abuse their power....if you cannot find something defectable then let me go....dont slap on a canary for suspecting i have a defect....its like me (being a cop) taking u into custody for suspected robbery/murder/rape/whatever.....its not right....then how come they are allowed to defect vehicle on suspicion

took a ford escape thru today (6k ebay 2days ago lol)

was shittn myself as Id just got back from driving it back from melbourne and hadnt taken off the damaged stone guard, nor checked for any leaks/damages

went all over the car and gave it a thumbs up.

wow, thank christ thats over with. all rego'd now (was running on a vicroads unrego'd permit)

if it was a turbo import I reckon they woulda done it for worn bushes and whatnot, surely (98000kms)

I was gonna ask the officer what would happen if he defected me for having a BOV but he couldnt find one, but seeing as he let me go i didnt wanna push it. i would make he drive with me to regency and hav them look for one with him there lol

yeah a mate of mine bought a s15 from brissy and he went for his id check (check vin n engine number), which is all u need to register it here, but as soon as they saw it was an import made him do a full road worthy inspection, gave him shit for stuff like a loose battery clamp. the worst thing is u cant argue with them cos u have to go back there to get it cleared.

when i go tmy 34 from Vic 3 years ago, they checked all over her, but the only thing they picked on was the fact that the spare tyre didnt have 80km/h on it :) but then she was stock as a rock, but cause the spare tyre didnt have the km/h on it they started to make it very hard for my compliance guy :P

Just write it on with a black permanent marker, worked for me

went through regency today... passed with flying colours. haha not a single thing.

the young guy working there is a champ too! had a quick chat about rollcages (i want one put in soon) and he was disappointed that there was no fun stuff for him to find ahahaha.

:rolleyes:

Its an "all motor NA" :rolleyes: , it would be struggling to get over 80km/hr :D

Could always try what a guy did a few years back to a bank. If they find nothing wrong, send them an invoice for your time and inconvienience and any other cost involved.

lol suspicion of carrying a defectable item is good enough for them to send you to regency i mean like WTF is wrong with people.....yet the popo were going to spend some big $$ in educating the force personel as to how to identify a defectable item etc.....innocent till proven guilty...i think NOT

thats pretty crap how they can just 'suspect' things..

thats like saying "anyone with a stanly knife is most probably emo" or anyone with a internet connection "hacks into banks" or "anyone with a plane ticket is a terrorist" or even "anyone visiting the doctors most probably have swine flew"

hate it how people put everyone in the same boat.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
