i love cops,

ive changed just about every thing on my 33 from body to engine, turbo to seat belts every thing is after market and it is fully engineered and ligit.

however i still got defected for the pod filter even tho it was in a fully sealed after market box. and over the whole car he could only get me for being 5mm (yes 5mm) to low where my exhuast goes under the rear axle. like seriously WTF

i was polite as you would always be and didnt hide anything, but super cop along the Northen Road defected me and sent me to the pits.

Just out of interest, what is the process here in NSW after you get defected? Who can clear your car and how much does it cost? How much can you drive the car before you get cleared?

Ps- think it might be time to hide my pod!

my next defect is gonna be for not having a H pattern on my gearknob... i'm sure that poses a clear and present threat to everyone's well being

LOL i have been defected for that.

it was a very stupid defect if you ask me. they couldn't even properly explain why it was a defect. they just said that it needed to be there. :(

this is what happened:

- got defected for exhaust and pod in a box

- had to hunt around for a replacement exhaust and box

- got it fitted

- showed up at AUVIS mech. who inspected it (paid $51)

- passed paperwork to RTA

- pay $74 fine

excepting the fine, it has to be done within 7 days... it's been two weeks for me so far

Yeah. Let's be tough on "hoons" who have a pod filter, but we won't chase after people who skim credit card details at an ATM and use them fraudelently, WHEN I'VE DONE ALL THE DAMN INVESTIGATIVE WORK AND GOTTEN NAMES AND NUMBERS FOR YOU TO RING AND THEY HAVE AN ADDRESS.

GG.

this is the thing... i knew what the f**k I was doing... i knew this easiest and cheapest place to get a replacement box and exhaust (I got one off here and I get a complete Jap exhaust cheap)... and I have a 9-5 job like everyone else... and it STILL took me close onto 2 weeks to get it done...

f**ks me how ya supposed to do it in 7 days... i called around a few exhaust shops too and they are largely time wasters... it was easier just to get my mechanic to do a complete swap

I know full well these cops are just out to be complete dicks and they seem to love booking people for doing 80 in a 70 zone on an onramp... it's all wasted money and time...

i think i said i was pulled over for an RBT... at 7.30 in the morning... going to work

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
