Hey everyone today I recieved a fine for not displaying a safety cretificate on my car when I had a "For Sale" sticker on the back window.

The fine was for $500 can you believe that. I feel as though I was picked on because I was a skyline owner. I told them that I didn't know I had to have one just to advertise that my car was sale and I was told "everyone knows that". They also had a look under the bonnet (don't know why, because they had no idea what they were looking at) and was asked where my intercooler was :) . I just told them it was standard. anyway what I am asking is, Has anyone else had this fine before and gotten out of it through writing a letter to QLD transport? And what they wrote? Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks.

edit: I will use the for sale section to sell my car tho... yes, yes i will...

hey mate

sucks to be you hey

i put a for sale sticker on my car but dad told me that i better go get a safety certificate before hand coz yea the cops can fine you.

because your advertising your car for sale its supposed to be roadworthy approved so that all the mods done on it are legit as you can't sell a registered car without a roadworthy certificate.

Man thats harsh.

Yeah a letter to Qld Transport will do nothing and even if u sent a letter to the POPO they wont withdraw it cuz it will go back to the original issuer who would not have changed his mind.

Its the old ignorance of the law is no defense blah blah blah

Chin up and best of luck with the sale (Put the price up 500 lol)

Thats kinda ridiculous :D ... i never knew about this.. then again i haven't had to sell a car yet... its good to know though..

my mate has his phone number just on the back of the car... (he'd get random texts like.. "if your as good looking as your car, text back" hahah ^_^) he'd be spewing if he got a $500 fine..

i really doubt that excuse would hold up if you got fined unless you can prove it with a previous case or it's legislated somewhere

it is as my mate got done an his misses works for something and they deal with it all day and he got of it for there car they were selling as it was a coupe and there is something that excludes them form displaying but you still have to have in the car

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
