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

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
