And sadly, even though I love modified cars, and would no doubt enjoy your modifications, unless you have an exemption or recognised engineering approval from our friends at Transport SA....the car is illegally modified in the eyes of SAPOL. Sucks eh, but I dont make the rules. Now see my point? :blink:

Point taken but I daresay if his gtr was imported under the 15 year rule (89/90) then he's exempt from the 1990's emission laws and only needs his exhaust to measure legal noise limit... pods secured are ok etc etc, splitting hairs here but its important to note that theres rarely any consistency in the law between makes and models (aside from the obvious)

the issue is that most cars on the road are technically illegal, how many cars older than 2000 would pass regency first time with an anal inspector?

I'll tell you again, like the 1000 times I told you the other night.......I'm just responding to your post.....I'm guessing then that another Mod editted your post.

If you want to keep going toe to toe with me, you may consider post 48 as your last.....stop being a smartass.

Thanks Nene for going the extra yards and letting us all know what Neil said to you . :D

Hi martin and thanks for your comment's , its always good to hear from you and to have your input. :)

As for the rest of you people having a go at him , SHAME SHAME SHAME.

Only having 300 or so posts just means that he only speaks when something is worth saying , unlike the rest of you post whores . LOL

This is why we dont see the likes of Munro etc on the forum much anymore .

These guys are the ones that brought us all the little tips that you guys save money on (learn from other peoples experience and mistakes).

back on topic now.

The missus had a cop seriously check out the line for the first time today (watched her go past then did a u'e and followed her for a few k's) when she was dropping our daughter off at school this morning . Nothing Happened , but made her feel a little nervous though .

With Nene doing our homework , :D makes me feel grateful and put's my mind to ease a little bit , Thanks again. :P

At least Martin takes the time to PROD you kiddies. Personally I usually dont bother.

You should listen to someone who actually knows what he is talking about:

Stock GTR - Pods, exhaust and PowerFC tuned by Martin - 265AWKW - 50,000 Kms over last 20 months since tune - no blown turbos - no blown motor - drives to work every day.

Only the best to tune the car.

On the SAPOL front - i have not seen any additional attention shown to my GTR and I do plenty of Kms in it - been through breatho recently and no particular attention paid to the car.

I guess that most of us on the forums are the real car enthusiasts or else why join a forum if your only keen on hooning around? thats just my point of view.

+1 for having a good communication link with SAPOL through Neil

keep the defectable cars off the road, saves trouble and lives.

look man, if u have an issue with my post PM me, im not going through the same shit as i did last time which resulted in me getting warned.

if neil did come into this thread, wouldnt be a great image seeing this bickering going on amongst us, maybe its time for u to just bite ur tongue like ive done a lot in the last 2 days.

but i will remind u this site doesnt tollerate personal attacks, calling me a smartass post after post, PM after PM is wearing a bit thin.

seriously man, you're a representative for the site, employ a bit more professionalism.

anyway, that's all from me, hopefully this doesnt land me a ban.

      New Honda prelude at Goodwood

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)

      Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
