Just thought id let everyone know the scene in Newcastle has taken a big hit. Cops are not even bothering to pull people over now, they just send your licence details to the DECC and instruct you to attend the workshop at Redhead. Even modifying your car to pass then re-modifying it can land you in hot water as your car is extensively photographed and if caught changing the car back will result in fines/loss of points/licence.

My friend got breath tested the other day, cops wrote the plate down and today got issued with a notice to attend.

Nazi's

Wow. They are really hitting hard with the modified cars. I wonder are they still targetting only Jap cars or Modified Australian cars too like XR6 turbos.

My friends car was a mildly modified late model SS Commodore and he's quite a sensible mature driver.

Please read this. You'll almost certainly learn something that will help you protect your bank balance. Just keep a few coins ready for the swear jar.

Nazis? Ken oath.

What a load of crap!!

There are Drug Dealers everywhere, paedophiles, rapists and murderers but lets concentrate on fining people with a pod filter or a lowered car or a sports exhaust. This will clean up ALL the problems of soceity as they are HUUUUGE problems that could result in Armageddon.

Stands and applaudes the NSW government, you clearly have the priorirties in order.

Emitting offensive noise from a vehicle sound system while driving, or while using a vehicle on a road or road-related area (clause 17)

i think we should all listen to the wiggles

rnb/rap no allowed

what a joke , like someones said they obviously expanded and got even more power

does anyone know the address of this place. i live in redhead and the only place it could be is a few hundred meters down the road. I think i would wanna try and avoid going past there during business hours.

You guys in newy got it easy compared to us in sydney

sydneys getting worse

saturday night i got pulled over into a parking lot , a copper asked me if i have BOV's i told him GTRS come standard with BOV'S he said no they dont and its a defect , Obviously no clue there i dont want to go into detail what else happened they tried so many different things but i just replied in a polite matter and was smarter then them . they let me go in the end .

Last night was with my brother in his Evo 9 ( BONE STOCK ) at brighton , He got defected for having a aftermarket gear knob and they told him his number plate at the front shouldnt be on the side when thats how they come from the factory .

anyone else got any stories i got so much more ......

hope I don't jinx myself ...but in 2 years of owning an R34 I've been pulled over twice .. once for speeding, copped a fine and that's it. Other time I was just curising at like 1 AM in side streets and they wanted to check my license and let me go righ away...

I've been through RBTs a couple of times atleast and was never asked anything about the car or mods. I've seen plenty of cop cars drive past me in both directions and was never pulled over for just driving a skyline. And they could easily use my dark tits as an excuse..

So I think it's a combination of WHERE in Sydney you live and how modified your car is ie. loud exhaust, atmo BOVs etc will always be a cop magnet. There's a big difference if if you're curising around Glebe or around Bankstown. I think the coppers around here are already used to seeing me and know I'm a local so don't bother to pull me over.

it's bogan central that's why .. cops are too. Also due to the high number of idiots in the far west in general, I'd say that's why they're more heavy handed...as they probably deal with speeding dickheads everyday.

Is that your engine bay photo in your Display Picture? What else did they try and get you on?

I live in Bankstown and have owned my GTR for 2 years. Not once have i been pulled over, looked at twice or anything. Pretty heavily modified too. A bloke from work was saying that on Friday night the coppers down Malabar way were pulling anything and everything over and going to town on them. Pretty scary!

Piggaz na not my engine bay its my old engine bay on my old gtr ,

they told me i need a engineers certificate for all my mods , i told them go ahead open the engine bay , ( my engine bay looks bone stock ) but like yours is heavily modified , but i keep the standard look as its better in terms of cops especially when you live in bankstown which i do . they opened up the bay and said yeh its pretty stock not knowing the cars worked but insisted my car is too low , that i admit its like 6cms off the ground and said my exsaust is too loud , but other then that they couldnt really do much ,they ask alot of questions but they got no clue , they cant see things like turbos , cams , etc , if you got a stock bay ? so i guess i got lucky .

true what you say so many cops around its not funny , and i know there is a cop driving around in a r32 gtr and its white so people be careful .

Ahh. A white R32 GTR. Interesting. Pretty funny about the BOV's though. I suppose we could almost get away with saying 'no we dont have them' if they are the stock items!

On side note. Im surprised i havent seen you floating around here. (in the R34 that is)

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
