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

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
