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

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
