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

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
