Hiya,

Just wanted to get some feedback from you guys.

Just got defected for my exhaust when I was pulled over & the officer asked me to rev the car to 5100 RPM and hold it. He then said it sounded to loud - about 95db he said. He said limit was 90 so he issued a defect notice and said I had to take it to an approved exhaust shop and get an exhaust test done with written documentation and send off to State Traffic Task Force.

I guess I take it to a specialist exhaust place here in Bundy.

Also, I have a PowerFC & Datalogit is there anything i can adjust with them?

Cheers,

Pen

Sounds like you got an officer whom does not quite know how to do his job...

Their surpost to have a DB meter and stand at a certain distance and a cetrain angle blah blah blah...

They cannot conduct it by ear, that just stupid... Unless it was like a car with no exhaust for example or its obviouslly stupidly loud...

As for your PFC, there is nothing you can do to make the car quiet with adjusting anything...

Just get it cleared by the exhaust shop and if need be by a silencer to stick into your cannon if its too loud...

Write to the ombudsmen, quoting the officer made an estimation by ear-using no sound recording equipment and estimated 95db, that should stir up a bit of hoohah at police, its like saying you were doin what looked like 200kph and booked without seeing a radar gun with the speed clearly marked on it-absolutely rediculous

A) Ombudsman - (should get dismissed based on questionable, non australian standard testing procedure and inaccurate non-calibrated measuring device)

B) Small claims court against the officer to recover *any* costs involved due to professional misconduct causing financial penalty

Quite often the police have something similar written into their standards of professional conduct, doing what you said above is a clear breach of their employment contract

"An employee of the Police must know and comply with all policies, procedures and guidelines that relate to their duties

Sworn employees have an obligation to ensure they meet mandatory training requirements.

You should not act outside your level of competency or authority."

I would ensure that it is within the required dB and get factual info.. then take this to court and request costs be paid for by police due to false accusations and costs for testing, time taken, etc..

then make a complaint to the CMC with the officers details and see if he would do that again in a hurry..

I would not bother wasting your time with the CMC and or court...

Just clear the notice and move on... Keep a copy of the info incase it happens again...

If you get pinged again then maybe look into further options to get some peace...

Don't take QLD Police to court it has to be a civil matter against the officer, that's the only way he can learn if the money comes out of his pocket. Taking on QPS doesn't do anyone any favours as they enforce that their officers should be responsible for their own knowledge shortfalls and not enforce *anything* they don't understand clearly and to be fully correct.

Crime & Misconduct Commision.. you simply call and state that the officer can't do his job.. he gets his arse kicked and he won't do it again.. And yes it does work..

if you can get it cleared without having to go to court then fine.. But if he was required to fight in court or pay the fine.. i'd fight it in court.. (not take police to court) and then tell them that you've lost money due to stupidity of the officer not doing his job (power hungry) and stick it to the man

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
